Xan Jacobs, a freshman animal science major, shoots a disc into the basket at Research Park
•Disc Golf provides
thrifty pastime
gains popularity
among students.
li
■n the ’90s, many ordinary sports
have been altered in order to gain
.the interest of the young sports-
loving population. One of the rising
leisure activities in America is disc
golf.
With the traditional golf-playing
concepts in mind, disc golf is a fast-
paced sport. Such popularity has
spawned the Professional Disc Golf
Association (PDGA), which trains
officials, sanctions competitions and
regulates game play.
The objective of the game is to
complete a course from beginning
to end in the fewest number of
throws of the disc. The player be
gins each hole at a tee box and must
try to reach a basket which serves
as the hole in disc golf. Obstacles,
such as trees and water, commonly
found on the disc golf course, make
accuracy and precision important
skills for a successful run.
Jared McCullogh, a sophomore
general studies major, said there are
more than trees to overcome on the
course.
“Some courses require the play
er to advance across a street,” he
said. “The concrete of the road and
sidewalks then become penalty ar
eas, not to mention the cars. ”
The game is a constant chal
lenge, has a very social nature and
requires good physical and mental
conditioning. It is also very inex
pensive and is a recreational sport
for everybody, regardless of age,
gender or ability.
McCullogh said he enjoys the
game as a stress reliever.
“It is fun to go play with your
friends and forget about classes,
tests and homework,” McCullogh
said. “It is always a stress relief
when you get to talk and chat with
your friends.”
Disc golf courses can range any
where from nine to 27 holes, but 18
is the average course length.
Courses are usually located in
wooded areas. Water traps and nat
urally rough terrain add to the diffi
culty of the game, but courses are
available for play all year long.
Wes Wyatt, a senior speech com
munications major, said there are
not many places available to play
the game.
“Research Park is the only place
in town to find a disc golf course.
The course is an 18-hole course
with good obstacles and game
play,” Wyatt said. “There are a cou
ple of tees in which you must throw
out over water, but all in all, the
trees pose the biggest hurdle.”
Wyatt said he sees many differ
ent people at the park in College Sta
tion, and the diversity of individu
als showing up to play increases
daily.
“Most people probably think
only students go out there to play,”
he said. “I see husbands, wives,
boyfriends who bring their girl
friends and Dads with groups of
kids.”
One downside to the traditional
game of golf can be the cost in
