Tom Schot has lived in Santa Cruz most of his life. His love affair with Frisbees began in the early 70's while throwing Black Master Frisbees. His first experience at a major disc event was in 1974 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. That event inspired his vision for the World DiscGames.

Tom both designed his first disc golf course and produced his first tournament, "The Mulligan Open" at Cabrillo College. In 1977 he designed and installed 18 holes at the University of California in Santa Cruz. It was only a year later that Tom invited Ken Westerfield to help produce the "Santa Cruz Flying Disc Classic," an over-all tournament that became the first of nine World Disc Championships that would follow. Tom went through many hardships in those nine years, from dealing with TV (CBS) to accommodating competitors from all over the world. "My experience with disc sports, from designing and installing disc golf courses to producing world tournaments has prepared me fully for the World Disc Games. I have heard many players say, ‘The World Disc Championships were the best over-all tournaments ever produced'.

Tom founded the first Ultimate team in Santa Cruz and the Northern California Ultimate League in 1979. He has been passionately dedicated to this sport for the last 25 years. "In the 60's and 70's disc sports were just a fad. Now the fad has diminished into the birth of our sport.

Two of Tom’s greatest feats have been to design the world renowned Delaveaga Disc Golf Course and start the "Master's Cup Disc Golf Championships" which have been held annually in Santa Cruz for the past 17 years. In 1991, Tom won the PDGA Grand Master's World Championships and was inducted into the Disc Golf Hall of Fame in 2000.

Remember, the blunt edges are for putting, the sharp edges are for driving. I carry a bag of discs. I have nine discs in here. Most players carry anywhere from 14 to 20 discs. Also, you need a towel. You want to keep your disc dry because it is easier to grip. Sometimes, you get caught in that tall grass and it has got some morning dew on it, it is a little wet. You want to be able to grab that disc and have a good control of it. One more thing about equipment, this is really important. You want to dress really comfortably, you want to have loose fitting clothes on and you want to have good shoes. Good shoes are really important. Your tee off shots, you don't want to be slipping. You want to be able to plant your feet, you throw with a lot of power, so a good, rigid, bottom sole shoe that is going to give you a grip is really important. Every hole is a par-three so, obviously if you get it in two, it is a birdie. It is just like ball golf. We have the same etiquette, the farthest (ph) player away throws first, the person who scored the best on the hole, before tees off first and that is our target back there. That is a Mach III basket. Those are chains hanging down. You want to hit the chains and land in the basket. If the disc hits the chains, lands in the basket and bounces out, it is no good. It has to come to rest in the basket. If the disc lands on the top of the basket where the chain structure is, it is no good. If the disc gets stuck in the outside cage of the basket, it is good because it is still supported by the basket. So, the objective is to give this disc in that basket.

Now, that you know what equipment you need, you got your driver, your approach disc and your putter. Let us go over here and I am going to show you how to use them.
