Sign-up deadline arrives for Pecan Spook-Tacular

(Seguin) — Here’s your invitation to finally learn the sport of disc golf. Whether you are a pro or have never played the game, hosts of this weekend’s first ever Pecan Spook-Tacular are making it easy for anyone to participate.

Extending the invitation to play in this weekend’s disc golf tournament at Seguin’s Max Starcke Park is Robert Garza, co-founder of the Disc Kingz Disc Golf Club in San Antonio. Since starting the group with his brother, David Rios, Garza says the group has been working to encourage more and more people to give the sport a try. He says this Saturday will be yet another great opportunity to come out and see what disc golf is about.

Not only is joining the tournament easy but Garza says everything you will need to play will be made available that morning of the tournament.

“They get a player’s pack so already by paying your entry fee, you are already getting free stuff that comes in your player’s pack. For example, in our player’s pack, there is going to be two custom discs valued at probably $45. Then you have a cooling towel. You will have some custom sanitizers. You will have koozies, stickers. You will have buttons. You will have things like that that come in the player’s pack that kinds of gets you going. So, the more tournaments you play, the more discs you’ll start kind of collecting,” said Garza.

Not only is Garza a disc golf enthusiast but he also serves as a local assistant school principal. Garza says his love for the game offers yet another opportunity for him to reach students and help them achieve.
