Parks & Rec News: Over 100 Participate In Disc Golf Tourney

by Greg Hudson:
On Sunday, March 5th, 2017, the Edmonson County Disc Golf Club held the first of three tournaments scheduled for this year at the Chalybeate Springs Sports Complex. Players had much to say about the new design and improvements made to the course since last fall.

Kevin Mills, president of the Edmonson County Disc Golf Club, said the club has been working with the Edmonson County Parks and Recreation department to improve the look and rating of the course and many of the players have said the course is more challenging, which they like very much. One player commented that the hanging basket (a basket that is hanging from two trees) is the only one that he knows of in this area.

Mills stated that the Amateur Championship at Bowling Green on April 21-23 will be played on four different courses in Bowling Green and our course here at Chalybeate Springs Sports Complex. Last year over 550 players participated on our course from 14 different states during the three day event. Mills also said he believes improvements to the course will draw more people to use the park for all it has to offer.
