Abstract

The Disclub Golf is to swivel the disclub to launch the golfdisc to fly. The golfdisc of has the nearly right triangle rim with straight bottom edge and triangle flap at the trail edge of the bottom edge. On the surface of rim, there are dimples to extend the flying distance of the golfdisc. There are smart phone, camera and video display, etc. embedded in the rim of golfdisc to be the head wearing discopter. The headwear discopter takes off from the head of the disc golfer to search the lost golfdisc in the golf course. The wrist-wearing monitor makes the remote surveillance with discopter. The disclub has the versatile combinations of straight pole and golf-style stick to adapt the different situations of disclub golf. The extendable disclub has the pole sliding inside the tube. There are joints for the self-portrait and golf-style disclub.
