Disc Golf #30
FOR THOSE INTERESTED, THERE WILL BE A 4:35PM CARPOOL JUST EAST OF STONEY TRAIL & TRANS CANADA HIGHWAY WHICH WILL INCLUDE A 25 MINUTE PITSTOP AT STRATHMORE A&W The Strathmore Disc Golf course opened on July 1, 2015 and consists of 18 holes that wind their way through a variety of neighbourhood green spaces. The majority are fairly short and well suited for beginners but you have to watch your disc doesn't end up in one of the many backyards that line the fairways. There is no charge to play. Disc Golf is played much like regular golf, but instead of trying to hit a ball into a hole, players attempt to get discs into a basket in the least amount of throws. Similar to clubs in ball golf, there are different discs for each shot. There are hundreds of discs available on the market which generally fall into three categories: drivers; midranges and putters. It is recommended that you have one of each to start although one could get away with just a midrange (such as a 'Buzz') in the beginning. Frisbees are usually not suitable as they do not fly far enough but they'll suffice if you just want to give the game a try.
