ABSTRACT:
An entrapment assembly is provided for use in flying disc golf game. The entrapment assembly comprises an upright post and an upwardly opening basket mounted on the post. A circular support bracket is mounted on the post with a plurality of outside and inside chains mounted to the bracket. The outside chains extend downwardly and inwardly to their lower ends which are secured to a first loose ring surrounding the post within the basket. The inside chains extend downwardly and straight or outwardly to their lower ends which are secured to a second loose ring of larger diameter than the first ring so that the outside and inside chains cross at a point below the top of the basket.
The outside and inside chains form a relatively dense energy absorbing medium in the path of a generally vertically oriented flying disc ensuring that the kinetic energy of the disc will be dissipated in the entrapment assembly, thereby causing the disc to call into the basket.
