The first intramural disc golf tournament of the year took place Sept. 23, at the Cain Sports Complex.

Matt King won first place with a score of 34 points for the eight-hole round.

"This was my first time to play disc golf," King said, "but I liked it and will probably be playing the rest of the tournaments this year and coming back next year. I liked coming out and beating two of my [fraternity] brothers and one new guy."

The tournament attracted only five participants, none of whom had any experience in disc golf prior to this tournament. All of the players picked up on the game relatively quickly, despite their inexperience and windy conditions.

"[Disc golf is] good stuff, I really like it," sophomore Justin Simpson said. "I'm definitely playing this next year too. The wind kind of sucked though."

The wind carried the discs away from the holes, making it more difficult for the players to be accurate. The water hazard on holes seven and eight caused one player to lose a disc and stroke to the pond.

The next disc golf event will be Oct. 19 at 5:00 p.m. It will be hosted by the Outdoor Adventure Club and will meet at the Morris Recreation Center (MRC). For more information about intramural disc golf, contact Michelle Wentzel at the MRC.
