City employee Brian Dudar helps to kickstart the sport of disc golf in Yorkton. He goes and does some digging for some blueprints of a course proposal for Yorkton's Patrick Park. Construction crews go to work on a 9-hole disc golf course that enjoys some popularity in its first summer in Yorkton.
"The disc golf facility saw tremendous use in its first year of operation and was well received by the community," says Dudar. He is already making plans to ensure the sport sees even more action next year, based on its success last summer.
"There was great use by the schools and by the general public. Efforts will be made to organize a disc golf club and run a disc golf night similar to what is done with regular golf. Look for that information in April of 2012. The great thing with disc golf is that the course is open year round so get out there and let the discs fly!"
