About

Welcome to Discology, thank you for stopping by my flying disc online store. 

I hope I have the disc you’re looking for. If you’re unsure, don’t hesitate to drop me a message; I’ll do my best to help.

 

This is me, this is Discology

My name is Richard Sampson, I have been Discology’s business owner since 1999. 

The business started in London, and then in 2004, I moved to Australia and continued the business as Discology Australia.

Nowadays, it’s a one-man business (that’s me!), located in Hobart, Tasmania.

Primarily, Discology is a supplier of premium flying discs; getting quality discs into the community has always been a priority for me.

Backing this up, I have 30+ years of experience as a disc golf player, coach, event manager, and disc golf business operator.

I am very grateful for the life disc golf gives me, and I love to share this passion. 

It makes me happy to know that every disc flying out of the Discology store is connecting people and helping grow disc golf and the flying disc community.

My Background

I enjoy throwing all types of discs, though, my passion is disc golf.

I’ve been playing since 1994, and have enjoyed witnessing and being part of the incredible rise of disc golf in Australia and across the globe.

I’ve played tournaments in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and USA. My highlight is the 2012 Pro Worlds in North Carolina, USA.

I’ve also directed many events and tournaments, which include the Australian Disc Golf Championships in 2011 and 2015, and the European Disc Golf Championships in 2001.

I’m extremely proud of my contribution to the Poimena Disc Golf Course in my hometown, Hobart. This has been a 20+ year love affair, involving course re-design, landscaping, events, promotion, and setting up the Hobart Disc Golf Club.

 

Looking Forward

I play disc golf recreationally at my home course, Poimena, and enjoy a position on the committee of the Hobart Disc Golf Club.

To complement my quieter moments playing disc golf, I love to hurtle down mountains on my mountain bike.

One of my goals is to set up a disc golf course at my favourite place to ride, Maydena Bike Park.

Thank you again for stopping by my store.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

All the best,
Richard
