My love note: Why people play regular golf is beyond me. It’s expensive, boring, you have to dress
like you work at Vanguard, and you get sunburnt. But disc golf, especially at Sedgley, is a chance to play in the woods. Built in 1977, it’s one of the nation’s oldest functioning disc golf courses. I’m sure a lot of people don’t know about it, or could find it for that matter. That’s the beauty of it. You’re playing in the city, but you would never know it. You’re surrounded by nature, which is surrounded by a city, which is surrounded by a delicious candy-coating.
