Disc golf gaining interest
While it’s quickly gaining interest, it may not be common knowledge that the Battlefords is home to its very own disc golf league.
Disc golf is much like traditional golf; however, as the name suggests, players throw discs resembling Frisbees in an attempt to sink it into a type of bucket that acts as the hole.
“The club was formed in 2015 by just a few of us local players who were around the course, and we figured we should start running a league and tournaments,” Evan Zimmer, a representative for the Battlefords disc golf league, said. “Since then, we are successfully in our third year of league, and we’ve also run several tournaments since 2015.
“We want the sport to grow, because we want other people to enjoy it as much as we do.”
