Jared HT here - On Saturday, August 20, in my little town of Royston (about 25 miles south of Toccoa) I will host a " Day of Disc Golf" to introduce this sport to Royston and the new 9 hole course that we put into the new Wellness Park. Its FREE and Russell Schwartz of Innova will be here to help me with demos, instructions, door prizes and Q & A's . I am inviting everyone here to come play with us. No major bells and whistles but just a Day of Disc Golf.
At this time the course is playable but signs are not in. Hopefully, by the 20th our signs will be in the ground. It is a short course navigating thru the park with the longest hole being 472' . It has ALT pins, Jr and Long tees and the City will have down-loadable scorecards and course details on their website at a later date. Practice basket, bathrooms, water fountain and benches are available.
There will actually be two Days of Disc Golf. Aug 20 Day of Disc Golf is for everyone and on Sept 24th there will be a Day of Disc Golf for those with special needs. I have spoken with INNOVA and I am looking into adaptive ways to adapt this sport for those disabled and/or with special needs. On Sept 24th I will close the paved parking lot off and set up a temp course with Traveler DIscCatchers (thanks to INNOVA for the loaners) This is so those in wheel chairs can navigate freely and play. 50 Emmanuel College Baseball players will be on scene to serve as "Buddies" for those needing help playing the temp course and the regular course. Everyone here is welcome to come out for that day as well whether to play, watch , or help instruct!
If you have questions feel free to call or email me:
