Say Hello To Disc Golf, Devens!

After a slow start on Friday evening, our disc golf demo exploded at about 7:30. All of a sudden we had people everywhere and discs were flying in every direction. It was great to see and thankfully no one got bonked in the head!

There were a bunch of kids and their parents and even a few random people that wandered over to see what was going on. Most people seemed genuinely excited about this "new" game and were filled with questions and comments like, "Yeah, I've heard about this thing. Cool." Almost everybody I talked to wanted to know when the course would be finished and wanted to be sure we let them know. So, that was nice to hear. We even collected our first $13 in donations.

Many thanks to Rob and Steve Walker and Steve Berthiaume who brought their baskets and discs for all to use. Thanks also to Mark Mudgett who donated a box of used discs and a t-shirt to the Club and lent us a basket to use even though he couldn't stay. Mark had a prior commitment but wanted to help out anyway. What dedication! :) Mike Connell went above and beyond donating a buttload of new plastic (and I'm talking NICE new plastic), some minis, stickers, and a t-shirt. Wow! Thanks very much, Mike! And thanks to Brian's wife for bringing over some snacks to keep us going.

All in all it was a fun evening that reaffirmed my belief that disc golf is here to stay at Devens!
