Laid it up right next to the basket. Don Kleppe just nailed a birdie shot from about 200 feet out. Nope, he wasn't playing golf. Disc golf is the game. Kleppe was shooting a round at the 18-hole course he helped create and build at Huntington's Rotary Park.
Disc golf is a sport that is catching on fast.
There are at least 1,000 courses around the world, and it's even become part of the 2000 World Games as a competitive sport. Like most disc golf courses, there's no charge to play at Rotary Park, although some courses ask for donations to assist with maintenance and new equipment. To play, all you need is a disc and the motivation to hike some rough terrain. The eight-inch discs cost about ten bucks. Sometimes, you can even find lost discs on the course.
