City of Melfort hosting disc golf learn to play day

Jul 7, 2020 | 11:59 AM

The City of Melfort is looking to increase recreation capacity in the community with a disc golf learn to play day.

A workshop will take place at Rotary Park which boasts a three par, nine-hole disc golf course.

Recreation Programmer Shannon Marshall told northeastNOW there will be representatives on hand from the Disc Golf Association of Saskatchewan.

“Disc Golf is an emerging sport in Saskatchewan and is really a great one for all ages, so we wanted to get the community on board and teach them about the great sport,” Marshall said. “It is gaining popularity in the province and there is even now a UDisc golf app and the Melfort course is located on it.”

Inquiries have also come into the city about the disc golf course over the last while making this a perfect time to bring some information on the sport to the area.
