Two years ago, it was a dream, an idea that, if realized, would bring something new to Jefferson County as well as visitors to the county’s Ogeechee Crossing Park. That something new is disc golf. Players throw a flying disc toward a target. The number of throws a player uses to hit the target are tallied; and, the player with the fewest throws wins.

Henry Hamilton, owner of Adrenaline Heaven Sports, designed the course and will be the tournament director for the first disc golf tournament at Ogeechee Crossing. This inaugural match will be held Saturday, Oct. 30, and is a one-day event.

The targets at Ogeechee’s disc golf course are elevated metal baskets, the most common target. 

As in ball golf or club golf, players must make consecutive throws from the point where the disc from the previous throw lands. Different obstacles such as trees and water challenge the players throughout the course.
