PATRICK PARK DISC GOLF COURSE Contact: www.facebook.com/PatrickParkDiscGolf There has been rapid growth in disc golf the past view years and Yorkton sits right at the heart of the growth. Locally, Patrick Park Disc Golf Course is the venue to experience the sport. Opened in June 2011, the nine basket course has proved a challenge for experienced disc golfers with trees to manoeuvre through from almost every tee box, and yet forgiving for beginners since the course does not have hazards where discs can be lost. The original nine at Patrick Park is a par-27 and covers 2379-feet. The experience was expanded in 2015, through an initiative spear-headed by local players, and supported by the City, to install a set of nine alternate tee boxes, which afford players an opportunity to play a ‘back-nine’ with new approaches to the existing baskets. The ‘back-nine’ is a par-33 and extends the course by 3037-feet, by utilizing some new disc golf features, in particular several mandatories, specific features a player’s disc must pass around in a particular direction — left-or-right of the marked feature. To promote the growth of the sport players are encouraged to come out Tuesday evenings from May through until September. It is a night for players of all skill levels, with more experience players more than happy to help beginners get a feel for the sport. Similar fun nights are planned for other courses in the immediate area; Whitesand and Saltcoats Regional Parks, Sandy Beach on Good Spirit Lake, Good Spirit Provincial Park, Bredenbury, Melville and Springside. Plans are also underway to host a few night rounds; LED lights are attached to discs, with the baskets also lit. Such an event was held as a Halloween treat the past two years, and participants had so much fun additional night rounds are likely to occur this summer. For those with a competitive edge the Grain Millers Trilogy Challenge will be held in Yorkton, Sunday, August 27. For those wanting to make a weekend of it the Cornerstone Credit Union Cup will be held in Springside, August 26. Both tournaments are part of the Parkland Association of Disc Golf Tournament Series. The PADG has a very simple Mission Statement: To promote the sport and recreational benefits of disc golf across the Parkland Region, and tournament events are part of that effort. A full list of tourney events can be found at www.dulok44. wixsite.com/parklanddiscgolf That said the new Association does represent a growing number of courses — all within an easy 125 km radius drive of Yorkton. As the snow melted in the spring of 2015 there were only three courses in that area, Benito, MB, Kemoca Regional Park at Montmartre and Patrick Park in the city. By the time the 2016 season came to an end there were 18 courses installed and playable in the region, with four more expected to be installed early this disc golf season. “These events are going to be very beginner player friendly, but participants will earn points toward year-end recognition,” said PADG tournament chair Trevor Lyons. Lyons explained that it is hoped each course in the PADG will host one event as part of the series. “We’re pretty excited about the series as a way to get players visiting area courses, which is great for tourism, and as a way to promote the new courses locally,” he said. Other tournament events already scheduled include; Fort Qu’Appelle – May 20 Katepwa Provincial Park – May 21 Melville – June 11 Living Skies Realty Ltd. Tournament at Stockholm – June 18

Home Inn & Suites Open – Bredenbury – June 24 Asessippi Beach & Campground MB - July 15 &16 Sandy Beach on Good Spirit Lake – Aug. 5 Kelvington Disc Golf Course - Aug, 12 (tentative) Cornerstone Credit Union Cup, Springside – Aug. 26 Grain Millers Trilogy Challenge, Yorkton – Aug. 27 And, more events will be announced as the season continues. For those unfamiliar with the sport disc golf it “is a flying disc game, as well as a precision and accuracy sport, in which individual players throw a flying disc at a target. According to the Professional Disc Golf Association, “The object of the game is to traverse a course from beginning to end in the fewest number of throws of the disc. The number of disc golf courses doubled in the eight years from 2000 to 2008. The game is played in about 40 countries around the world.” The golf discs used today are much smaller and heavier than traditional flying discs, typically about eight or 9 inches (20 or 23 cm) in diameter and weighing between 90 and 180 grams. Discs used for disc golf are designed and shaped for control, speed, and accuracy. There is a wide variety of discs used in disc golf and they are generally divided into three categories: putters, allpurpose mid-range discs, and drivers. To stay connected with disc golf head to Facebook, search Disc Golf Courses of the Parkland and join other enthusiasts. And for more information email padg.yorkton@gmail.com
