Disc Golfers of Michigan's First Annual Summer Barbecue

  
Travis Newville, Admin of Disc Golfers of Michigan 



 August 10th, 2013 marked the first annual get together for the Facebook community Disc Golfers of Michigan. It was day full of family, barbecuing, swimming, and of course disc golfing. Disc golf is a great stress reliever, and is also a good workout. Socially, disc golfing is an excellent way to meet new people. The sport of disc golfing is one that is growing rapidly, and if the Disc Golfers of Michigan can help accommodate the growth of a great sport, then they will do what they can. Even if it means bribing their community with food.

Food really was an after-thought the day of the first annual Disc Golfers of Michigan Summer Barbecue. A group of five discers braved the wilds of the Reed Park disc golf course. Everybody shot well and had a good time, and nobody lost a disc.

The little get together was small for the first annual Disc Golfers of Michigan Summer Barbecue, but Ryan Minikey, creator of Disc Golfers of Michigan, is hoping that the event helps his Facebook community grow. Everyone is welcome to join the Disc Golfers of Michigan community, and always for free.

Disc Golf: More than just a trend

Disc golfing has been around for a long time, but it wasn't until the last decade or so that the past time began making headway as a sport and not just a hobby. In fact, the Professional Disc Golf Association is making sure that everyone has a chance to get to know this great game. Other non-profit community groups, such as Disc Golfers of Michigan, are solely dedicated to promoting the sport in their community, and encouraging people to get outside and try new things. You don't have to be a top tier athlete to play disc golf, but at the same time the sport is a great workout.


Socially, disc golf is an excellent game to play with friends and family. Hanging out at the disc course is a great way to make new friends, too. In fact, Disc Golf Scene, is a social networking website dedicated entirely to the game of disc golf. At Disc Golf Scene you can post scores, meet new players, add rival players, and even trade discs with other players at their Trading Post. Disc golfers are a tight knit community. Most disc golfers only play for the love of the game, and almost always show other "discers" respect on the course. Disc golf has come a long way from the days that people thought it just an odd trend. It is now a professional sport.
