Some people call it discing.

Others call it frolfing.

But what many people know as disc golfing took place in Weston on Saturday as part of Weston Fest.

16 people disced in the first ever Disc Golf Tournament at Machmueller Park.

The tournament was divided into three divisions: recreational, amateur and professional.

While organizers hoped the turnout would have been better, they were just hoping to increase interest in the sport.

"It's a family sport, it's a family event. Obviously some of us are super competitive. It's for everybody. If you can throw a disc and you like throwing a disc, it's the same rules as golf. It's something I think mothers, fathers can take their kids out and play,"

The sport has been growing in popularity over the last several years.

The tournament was put on by the Wausau Area Disc Golf Enthusiasts.

Frisbee 'golf' is a joke! Please spare me the humor!
