The history of Sedgley Woods starts with Jim Powers. In 1976, fresh out of college with a biochemistry degree from Penn State, Jim returned home to the Philadelphia area and founded the Philadelphia Frisbee Club. The club’s motto: “Advancement of physical and mental fitness through frisbee sports and recreation.” Jim had played Ultimate Frisbee at Penn State (founding the Penn State Ultimate Team in 1974), and he was interested in gathering a group of players in the Philadelphia area to continue the good times playing and competing with a disc. By word of mouth Jim brought together a group of frisbee players whose interests spanned all disc sports including Ultimate, golf, freestyle, Double Disc Court and the field events of distance and self-caught-flight (MTA, TRC). The club began meeting and playing weekly at several areas around the city, most notably in Valley Forge National Park and in Fairmount Park. While the club was dedicated to all frisbee sports, Ultimate and disc golf quickly became the favorites among the PFC members. Wherever the members met for pick-up Ultimate they designed golf holes with natural tree targets or available manmade targets such as lampposts. As usual, once frisbee players gather to play, organized competitions are soon to follow . . . club members began to dream of a permanent frisbee golf course for fun and tournament play.
