An excursion into disc golf

Every decade or so I like to get out of my comfort zone and try something new.

About 15 years ago I was at a job where my work friends formed a kickball team to participate in a league and they asked me if I wanted to play. For two seasons once a week I felt like I was back in school P.E. playing a kids game. It was quite fun, but I eventually realized that as a guy in his 40s trying to physically compete with 20- and 30-year-olds, it was a lot of work. Near the end of the second season there was an incident where I was playing in the field and the ball was kicked up high in the air. As I went to catch it, I tripped and fell and rolled. I was laughing before I even got up, and blamed the base for tripping me, even though I personally thought the foul line itself reached up and tripped me up. After that, I figuratively hung up my cleats and searched for less physical pursuits.

A while ago we had some new neighbors move onto the street, and over the course of time in chatting with said neighbors, found out the husband was a passionate disc golfer. I had never known anyone who was really into this sport, so it was an ongoing topic of discussion between us over several months. I was invited to go play, and we set a day.

Now, I am familiar with regular golf, and squeeze in a round or three each year, so I understand most of the basic rules of golf. Disc golf follows many of the same rules and structure, and a bonus: It’s a lot less expensive, especially if one gets to use your neighbor’s extra equipment.

Back during the first term of the Reagan presidency I was in college, and this is around the time someone, probably bored, broke and drunk, invented Frisbee golf. The fad eventually found its way to the little towns in Iowa, and I played my share of this sport. The rules…

A new disc golf course is being constructed in Hidden Valley Park in preparation for a tournament hosted by the Kings County Disc Golf Club on Saturday, Jan. 28.

The construction of the course was the result of collaboration between the Kings County Disc Golf Club and the City of Hanford. Hanford’s Parks and Recreation Department donated the buckets set to be used for the course construction, while the Kings County Disc Golf Club will build the course using the donated buckets.

“Hopefully, people will enjoy it,” said Kings County Disc Golf Club President Connor Rose. “People will see it. Maybe they’ll run into us, and if they do run into us, feel free to ask us questions. We love answering questions about disc golf.”

CULPEPER STAR-EXPONENT STAFF

The brand new PATH Recreation & Fitness Center will open to the public Friday, July 29 across from the DMV in Culpeper.

Located at 19002 Crossroad Parkway along Lovers Lane, the wellness facility includes two full-size, multisport courts lined for basketball, volleyball, and pickleball, batting cages, multisport simulator, and activity room.

These amenities are adjacent to a fully-equipped fitness center that opened earlier this year offering a robust schedule of group exercise and youth fitness classes, yoga, meditation, small group training, and personal training, according to a release from Culpeper Wellness Foundation.

The public is invited to come check it out during a Grand Opening Celebration happening from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. July 29 and July 30.

Attendees can try their hands (and feet) at spikeball, a new sport that is sweeping the nation, according to the release, as well as pickleball, volleyball, kickball and basketball.

The batting cage will be open to try along with adult and youth fitness classes in Boot Camp, Cycling & Kettlebell Strength and Family Boot Camp.

“Grand Opening activities will give visitors a sampling of the many programs that will be offered. We’ve asked lots of kids and adults to share their ‘wish lists’ for activities and we look forward to putting together a schedule that offers something for everyone,” said Tracie Massey, director of the new facility, in a statement.

Upcoming programs will provide an introduction to court sports, and beginner golf lessons on the multisport simulator, which also has bowling, baseball, softball, and disc golf. Art classes and a youth iPhone photography class are planned.

“The expansive space in the new recreation center will allow us to serve more kids in some of our most popular youth programs, such as tumbling and taekwondo. We’ll also be able to expand our physical education program for children who are homeschooled and offer the kids a wider selection of activities,” Massey said.

Day passes, monthly and annual memberships are being offered along with need-based scholarships and free passes for those unable to pay, according to…
