Limestone City Disc Golf Club<\/span><\/a> at a free event this week where community members will get a chance to see the game in action.<\/p>\nDisc golf is a variation of regular golf with a disc instead of a ball, no clubs, and an above-ground target instead of a hole. The goal is to throw the disc and hit the target in as few shots as possible.<\/p>\n
Bringing disc golf to the township would mean the installation of a fully-functioning course, and finding the space to do so. If there is a notable level of interest from the public, the recreation department will look towards the next steps of bringing it forward to council.<\/p>\n
Recreational Programming Coordinator Susan McNeill notes the department's commitment to bettering the programming for residents.<\/p>\n
\"We're trying bring out some new, fun ways for the community to learn; to stay active, for all ages.\" said McNeill.<\/p>\n
This would fall in line with the recreation departments expanding programming and events, but the possibility of a disc golf course, or any new sports court within the township, could mean some extensive planning.<\/p>\n
Updates on disc golf in the township will eventually arise after thorough staff discussion following the free public event this week. The event will be held between 5-7 p.m. at the WIllie Pratt Sports Field in Amherstview.<\/p>\n
