Kingsport Parks and Recreation hosting Disc Golf Tournament

The Kingsport Parks and Recreation Department in partnership with Throwmore Disc Golf will be hosting a disc golf tournament later this month.

The tournament will take place at 2 p.m. on March 29 at the Borden Park Disc Golf Course. Cost is $20 per person and the event is open for people of all ages. The tournament will include the following divisions – pro, advance, intermediate, beginner/novice, ladies and juniors. First, second and third place prizes will be awarded for each division.

Disc golf is played similar to traditional golf, but instead of using a ball and clubs, you’re tossing a small disc down a fairway and into an elevated metal basket. It’s a healthy and inexpensive sport that requires accurate throwing skills, mental concentration and a love of the outdoors.

“Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, our tournament is perfect for players of all ages and skill levels,” said Program Leader Milly Marmalade.
