Disc Golf Course Idea Introduced In Mt. Carmel

Plans are expected to be unveiled next month on a proposed disc golf course in Mt. Carmel. If you’re not familiar, disc golf is played much like golf. Instead of a ball and clubs, though, players use a flying disc or Frisbee.. The sport was formalized in the 1970s and shares with golf the object of completing each hole in the fewest strokes-or, in the case of disc golf, fewest throws. At this week’s city council meeting, city clerk Ryan Turner said he had met with Wabash Valley College president Matt Fowler exploring a 9-hole disc golf course. Turner said he hopes more details on the idea will be presented to the council next month.
