Abstract
A method of manufacturing a two-section flag pole comprising a pointed lower section for planting into the ground and an upper section having a colored area and a numbered flag for establishing a target in a game of flying-disc golf. Each flag may be removed from or rolled over the pole and the pole can be disassembled for ease of storage. A threaded or snap-on quick-coupler is used to assemble the two sections of each pole, so that it may be easily and quickly installed at each selected target site. The flag poles can be manufactured entirely by utilizing standard-size tubing available for gardening applications.
Claims18
A method for manufacturing a flag-pole target for use with a flag of a predetermined height in a flying-disc game, comprising the following steps:
- (a) cutting a length of plastic tubing to provide a lower section and an upper section of a flag pole, each of said sections having a top portion and a bottom portion;
- (b) cutting the bottom portion of said lower section to form a pointed end;
- (c) providing joining means for rigidly and removably connecting the top portion of said lower section to the bottom portion of said upper section;
- (d) sliding a collar over the top portion of said upper section and attaching the collar thereto at a distance approximately equal to the height of the flag to be used in the game;
- and
- (e) providing a cap conforming to the top portion of said upper section;
- whereby the flag may be mounted over the top portion of said upper section and retained by removably placing said cap over the top portion of the upper section;
- the upper and lower sections may be removably connected by utilizing said joining means;
- and the flag pole so assembled may be planted into a supporting surface by inserting said pointed end therethrough.
