Optimist Club introduces disc golf to their community

What do you plan to do this weekend? While other Optimist Clubs are busy holding bicycle safety days, traditional golf tournaments and getting ready to send kids back to school, the Optimist Club of Washington, Iowa is doing something different: They are holding a Disc Golf Tournament.

The Washington Optimist Club Disc Golf Tournament is a free activity for children and adults. The Optimist Club is giving away discs to everyone who participates and since it is a different sporting event - one that not everyone has heard of - they are  holding a free clinic to teach people how to play before the tournament begins. At the end of the activity, trophies will be awarded in a number of different categories.

It all looks pretty simple and fun for all ages.  Take a look at the video that I found at the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) website. The PDGA is holding a national tournament this weekend. Who knows? Maybe the Washington Optimist Club will spark an interest for a future PDGA tournament in their community.



If you live near Washington, Iowa, please join the Optimist Club on Saturday, July 31, 10 a.m., Sunset Park for the Disc Golf Tournament. It's free and open to the public.
