Johnson refers to the "angle of Hyzer" on page 57 of the book, and notes that it was named for H.R. "Fling" Hyzer. In the cronological history section of the book, Johnson notes that in June, 1967, H.R."Fling" Hyzer leaves his North Central Team for a new Wisconsin team. These are likely Guts teams, and the term likely is derived from the Guts rule for the angle the disc must be under when crossing from one team's field area to the other's. Hyzer has come to mean something entirely different to disc golfers. This origin of the word is citable, regardless of Johnson's intentions or invented lexicon. The origin appears to have nothing to do with disc golf. Its use today does. [[User:Burjwahzeh|Burjwahzeh]] ([[User talk:Burjwahzeh|talk]]) 18:06, 3 March 2009 (UTC) |

:I think the word as it pertains to disc golf seems to clearly merit it's own wikipedia page rather than the redirect at present which definitely did not answer my question at all, until digging into this talk page.
