Anyone interested in learning about disc golf, one of the fastest-growing sports since the early 2000s, should head to New Quarter Park in Williamsburg this Saturday for a special session from 10 a.m. to noon hosted by York County Parks and Recreation.
The 18-hole disc golf course at New Quarter Park has a park supplies office on-site where players can pick up equipment to participate.
Park professionals will be on-site to answer questions and offer instructional tips while you try your hand at the game, which combines the concept of disc throwing with the hole-by-hole stroke format of golf.

From the tournament staff: “The main purpose for holding this tournament is to build the family spirit amongst the CTC’s and their students, and to allow all involved to gain the most valuable experiences possible in a completely safe, ego-free environment. For those of you who have limited sparring/tournament experience, this is the perfect time and place for you to learn and to gain some of that experience! So, we invite you all to come to meet your fellow CTC family members, relax, learn, enjoy, and have a great time at what will hopefully be an annual event!”
