Hi all. I haven't been on in a while (staying busy working and tossin' discs [when I can]).
If you've never played disc golf, I'd love to introduce the sport to you. It's a very affordable (FREE) alternative to "ball golf" (the game from Scotland played with clubs and dimpled golf balls).
Anyway, here's a link to the Wilkes Disc Golf Club:
http://WilkesDiscGolf.org/


The video on the "About Disc Golf" page is a great video on the basics of disc golf. Give it a watch. You'll learn a lot and get to see how fun it can be.
Feel free to submit the contact form on the WCDGC site if you have any questions about disc golf. I'll be the one replying to those messages.
I look forward to working with the public land managers we're currently within negotiations with to set up WILKES COUNTY'S FIRST EVER PUBLIC DISC GOLF COURSE!
Hope to see you out disc golfin' soon!

We also have a tournament next Saturday in Yadkinville for those interested in playing or seeing the game played, live!

lol. I do not play it but was gonna say that there is a course or whatever you call it at the Yadkin County Park here in Yadkvinville. The park is located off the Unifi exit and behind our YMCA. I see lots of people playing when my kids are at the Y or sporting events at the park.

yep. played there many times now. just today actually - with my best round ever (+5; 59). it's a great course. i look forward to Wilkes having our own course. there are 3 private courses in Yadkin. one private (that I know of) in Wilkes - the owner, however, will not return any of my phone calls (he's a family Dr. here). oh well, we'll be playing in Wilkes by end of summer (i hope).

There is one here in High Point off Johnson Street. I had never played before, I thought it looked lame, after playing I can honestly say I like it wayyyy better than regular golf, had a blast.

Wow, a disc golf place in Wilkes? Played in in Boston a bunch of years ago with my kids. It was a gas....nice walk through the woods and the kids kicked my arse.

The Wilkes County Disc Golf Club is currently working with the Army Corp of Engineers to create Wilkes County's first public disc golf course at the lake. It's in the planning stages now, but we're currently looking for members, sponsors and supporters; see our raffle ticket ad on this site (right side - random) or visit our website:

Forgot to mention this...  Purchase a copy of the Record of Wilkes tomorrow to read more about disc golf in Wilkes County... there's a full page article planned for publication in tomorrow's  edition. Thanks to Rebecca for the write-up; can't wait to read it! My mug may even be in it... lol...

Johnson street is nice. Yadkinville is still the best around for my money. My kids love Salisbury because it is short and open (not a lot of trees). I can play it by myself in less than 20 minutes.

Ashe County Park in Jefferson has a disc golf course....

Salisbury in less than 20 minutes? Wow... that's short! Never played there, but if it's that short, it might be worth playing to try for some aces!
Hopefully heading to Ashe this weekend to watch the High Country Throwdown. Big Jerm will likely be there to try to repeat his win from last year.
Never played Ashe, but hear it's a challenge.

I play 2 or 3 times per week in Ashe. It is a very challenging course! I started playing last year and I am totally addicted. I had my best round ever yesterday a +2 from the white tees. I am very excited to see that Wilkes County will be gettin a course! Since I work in Wilkes it would be awesome to go play after work during the cooler months when the days are shorter and there is not time to drive up the mtn. Thanks Lance for getting this going...I am sure you have put a ton of effort toward this. And if you want to hook up and play a round in Ashe just holla at me! Mark

We also have a small group at Peace Haven (on Byrd Ridge Rd, North Wilkesboro) every Monday at 6:00pm.
If interested in playing disc golf or learning what it's all about, come check out the small group. We go over basics and then play 19 holes every monday.
Never played? We have loaner discs that you can borrow.

I am bringing myself and a couple of others out this next week. Looking forward to it Lance. Thanks for putting something together for us. Wilkes County needs things like this.

Enjoyed seeing and reading about the sport. Glad it is now in Wilkes. Our family can take up another sport and let bowling rest awhile. At least until colder months.
