Video of the week

Disc golf is a fun recreational activity that everyone of all ages can enjoy. The best part about disc golf is that it costs no money to play because most courses reside in parks. However, people in the disc community may not realize the importance of maintaining the course as well as the surrounding area of the park. In this edition of video of the week, I found a video about a disc golf course, in Austin, which may be in trouble.

Pease Park is a popular disc golf course in Austin. The course offers a fair challenge to players and people in the surrounding area enjoy coming to the park to do more than play disc golf. Recently, there has been a problem with the maintenance of the course and the city has a plan to shutdown the disc golf course. The ground is getting torn a part and people have been complaining about hard the dirt around each hole's basket. Also, many trees are getting worn down because discs keeping hitting them. Since the park has not been maintained properly, the city is forcing the park to shut down the course and improve the grounds.

Many people do not think of these issues because they do not work for park districts and maintain disc golf courses. Therefore, it is important for the disc golf community to take this problem seriously and help maintain the park surrounding disc golf courses.
