DECATUR — With the grass still wet from the night before, disc golf enthusiasts gathered at the Nelson Park Disc Golf Course to compete and celebrate the life of local player Cody Drew.

“When we learned about losing him the first thing that came to mind is what can I do to not only help his family gain closure but at the same time, do something to memorialize one of my best friends,” said Damon Morstatter, vice president of the Decatur Disc Golf Club. “I figured it’s something that he would want me to do and it’s really one of the only things that I can do.”

Dozens of disc golf players from around Central Illinois competed Saturday in the third annual The Fam Cody Drew Classic tournament, a sanctioned event by the Professional Disc Golf Association.
