Lookie what I found listed on Ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/MINT-1980-WHAM-O-FRISBEE-GOLF-DISC-MOLD-42BF-/330578412904?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4cf8024568 (http://cgi.ebay.com/MINT-1980-WHAM-O-FRISBEE-GOLF-DISC-MOLD-42BF-/330578412904?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4cf8024568)
Nope, not mine, if I had this I would NOT be selling it!
Just thought it is a neat piece of J town disc golf history...
Does anyone have one??

I saw your post & called Phil. Wrong Way (Phil Corrigan) has one or two. I didn't ask how many, but still throws them. Throwing Wham-os is old school. Good find Kev, but he said I don't buy discs. Do you think someone who throws wham-o discs today has some history? He would battle Gary in that department. For a refresher, Phil picked up Ed Headrick at the airport, founder of disc golf. FYI, Ed passed away a few years ago, heart attack. I think it was at World's in Miami, Florida. I remember Paul taking it pretty hard. A little history Patrick.

Hey Frank --
Yeah, I had some midnight flyers myself when I started playing...In fact, adding my own bit of history...back in '79 and '80 I was the Illinois State Jr. Frisbee Champion...Not in disc golf, but in a variety of throws, catches, distance and accuracy events...anyway, to make a long story longer, as a result of that, Whammo invited me to the grand opening of Channahon when it first opened...as I recall, the layout is altogether different from when it first opened! And, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't it start at as a 9 hole course??
As for this disc, I put 3 offers on it and all were turned down! I think 40 bucks is a little steep, but it would be cool to have in the collection!
