Since moving here and opening the store, I've had dozens of people come to the store and tell me that Ft Gordon would be a great location for a disc golf course. Most of these guys were soldiers stationed at Ft Gordon who told me that there are acres of unused land just begging for a course and that "somebody" should put in a course. They told me that a lot of the time, they are not allowed to leave post or don't have the time to travel to a course, and are stuck with nothing to do on base.
Another ex-soldier told me that having an easy and fun outdoor activity on base would be a great thing for soldiers who are rehabbing at Ft Gordon.
A light went off in my head and I started collecting contact info from a few of the more interested guys and James Meek was one of them. James already organizes the annual Marine Mud Challenge on base and through his connections and an article he recently wrote about disc golf for the Ft Gordon newspaper, FYI, the Buzz Machine has started!
Show your support for a new course by:
- Leaving a comment on the FYI Facebook page (Look for Mar 2 post starting "Disc Golf has been around for a while, but its popularity is on the rise."
- Reading the article.
