disc golf  DISC GOLF  -- New sport!
  Disc Golf Course, Tompkins-Cortland
  Community College (TC3), Dryden, NY

  Friday, June 11
  10am Singles (check-in at 9am); and 2pm Doubles

Join us for Disc Golf's introduction to the Games at the new TC3 Disc Golf Course!

Disc Golf is played much like traditional golf. Instead of a ball and clubs, players use flying discs. The sport was formalized in the 1970's,and shares with "ball golf" the object of completing each hole. Disc Golf involves throwing the disc into a "Pole Hole" chain basket in the fewest number of “strokes” - in the case of Disc Golf, the fewest number of “throws”.

The format for this event will be an 18-Hole Singles competition in the morning followed by a Doubles competition in the afternoon.

Discs will be provided for those that do not have one.
Instruction can be provided beforehand by the Disc Golf staff.

Partners for the Doubles Competition will NOT be assigned by the event coordinators; you must register and name a partner.
