Just last week, the esteemed PGA Tour came to the historic Greenbrier Resort here in southern West Virginia near the New River Gorge and played some golf.

The tools of the trade- disc golf discs

We hoped some of the players would make it over for a little white water rafting, but no.  Didn’t happen.

Actually, the rafting was just a plot to trick them to play disc golf with us.

Hmmm, flying discs, you say?   Yup.  We have a great disc golf course and, yeah, it’s 18 holes. We don’t charge a thing to play it.  The game is a blast, and it’s physically accessible for all ages and athletic ranges.
Okay, the key facts to the game are that the players must keep track of how many throws they take.  The object is to get the target, which is a basket that your disc eventually (hopefully) lands in.  The player who completes the course in the fewest number of throws wins the day.

Like golf.  But with flying discs. And don’t call it a frisbee (that’s a whole different post).

You can stop in Songer’s Outfitters Store and get a map of the course.  Oh, and having discs for each player helps, though it’s not necessary.  We sell them in the store.

If you’re going white water rafting on the New River with us (or even -GASP- with another outfitter), stop by and play around.  We’ll meet you on the first tee.
