sport specs DISC GOLF
The sport: During a game of disc golf, participants throw a flying disc into a numbered basket known as a disc pole hole. As players travel the 18-hole course, they aim to travel from beginning to end with the fewest number of throws.
Disc golf shares similar rules and terminology with traditional golf, and because disc golf courses and playing areas can be found in public parks that require inexpensive equipment, it's the perfect
sport for any Frisbee-loving golf enthusiast who's strapped for cash.
Nick Norcia, Libertyville, Ill., senior, has been competing in disc golf tournaments since the eighth grade. Because the sport doesn't require too much physical prowess and the learning curve is fairly quick, it's something you can go out and do with any of your friends, he says.
The history: It was Ed
Headrick, the same man who invented the modern Frisbee in 1964, who invented the disc pole hole in 1975. That same year the first disc golf course opened in Pasadena, Calif., and the Professional Disc Golf Association was founded. The PDGA lists 8,690 members and disc golf courses can be found in every state and throughout the world.
The gear: Because disc pole holes are available for free at any disc golf course, you only need a disc to play, which can be purchased for less than $10 at most sports stores. More experienced golfers can choose to carry three distinct types of discs: putters, mid-range discs and drivers. Each disc is designed to fly differently, allowing players to select a disc depending on the distance to the disc pole hole.
The course: In Lawrence, an 18-hole disc golf course is located at Centennial Park, 600 Rockledge Road.

OUTDOOR FUN REQUIRES ADDITIONAL HAIR CARE
While you go to the pool to get wet, your hair becomes dry — chlorine and sun can wreak havoc on your tresses. It's best not to get your hair wet, but if you do, use a clarifying shampoo weekly, says Brandy Lewis, stylist at Sizzors Hair Salon, 600 Lawrence Ave. Clarifying shampoos strip the hair of unnatural impurities
such as chlorine and prevent the unflattering green cast they tend to create.
If the sun is your culprit, Lewis recommends using Redken UV Rescue shampoo and leave-in conditioner daily to resuscitate your mane.
