New Disc Golf Course Opens For Business in the Soo
Basically disk golf is still pretty much the same as the “Frisbee” golf courses that were built around MI during the late 70s and 80s. Except that back then we basically threw Frisbees "Frisbee" being a trademark of the Wham-O Toy Company, into baskets that were set up along the parks simulated golf course.
They still use the same disc golf target – they’re metal baskets with chains hanging over it that were invented back in the 70s. But the disks used today are more sophisticated both in design and function. So now, instead of heading to the park with a couple of basic Frisbees, there are a wide variety of discs involved caddied in backpacks or bags.
Redesigned and renamed, the discs now are divided into three basic categories: putters, mid-range discs, and drivers. But the game basics are still the same, you make your way around the golf-like course following a map, trying to reach each target in as few throws as possible and you keep score by hand on a golf-like score card.
It’s a walk through the woods along with a hike up and down the bluff overlooking scenic Sault Ste Marie so you’d be smart to take along some bug dope. The discs you can rent or buy in the Lodge. You can find all the details and download the course map and scorecards from the official city of Sault Ste Marie website.
The Soo Rocks because there is always something fun to see or do here in the Summer.
