Frisbee golf?

1

Is there a frisbee golf tag? The sport's popular in our area and I wanted to put it on the map.

Found via the search box (top right) of your docu wiki: a page about disc golf - there seems to be no documented established version - just two proposals. If you like join the discussion there (here on this page is not the right place for a discussion). Also see the taginfo links for the current usage (two also linked on the wiki page):

I believe disc golf is the more international name as frisbee involves some trademark issues in various places I think.

According to taginfo, "sport=frisbee_golf" has been used 3 times so far.

People have given a bit of thought to how golf courses can be mapped, and as I understand it, some of the same features (or at least same sorts of features) apply to frisbee golf, so you may be able to borrow from that page too.

EDIT:

No, as hendrikklaas spotted, disc_golf is much more widely used, so use that instead of "frisbee_golf".

Hi SD Mapman, You could consider these remarks as they were made in a proposal, leisure=disc_golf_course or sport=disc_golf. Greetz
