Going, Going, GONE!
Nestled in the oak-studded grassland east of Hellyer County Park lies a
unique sport, Disc Golf. You think disc golf -what is it? Well, disc
golf is played much like traditional golf. Instead of a ball and clubs,
players use a flying disc or Frisbee. Like traditional golf, the object
of the game is to complete a hole in the fewest number of throws. The
player starts out by throwing from a tee location toward the hole, then
again (and again, and again). Trees, shrubs and natural terrain
variations provide challenges and frustrations common to traditional
golf.
We're being hosted by Silicon Valley Disk Golf Club. For info:
