Funding came from sources like the Stadtsportbund, Kreissportverband, and local businesses. You can even rent discs at Intersport Guevenc in the city gallery or at the club restaurant “Bei Carsten”. Frank Oelbüttel, Witten’s first disc golf instructor, offers regular training sessions through TuRa Rüdinghausen. This provides a fantastic opportunity to learn the basics or refine your technique.
