As fall colors begin to paint the trees in Carver County, locals aged 10 to 15 have the chance to add some flying colors of their own into the mix with a beginner-friendly disc golf class. Carver County Parks is throwing an after-school program into the recreational ring, aimed at teaching the basics of disc golf – and I'm not just talking about how to fling a Frisbee without hitting a tree.
The hour-long sessions will take place on Thursday, Oct. 23, from 3:45 to 4:45 p.m. – a perfect window for those who can spare a slice of their afternoon post-education hustle. "Toss, Aim, Score! Learn Disc Golf After School" promises to cover everything a budding disc golfer needs: the rules, technique, proper etiquette, and yes, even the discs come provided. For only $12, the youth of Carver County can snag this chance to get outdoors. Chaska Disc Golf Course will be the playing field for these lessons.
What's even more convenient is that the rendezvous point for all these potential disc golf stars is just outside Chaska Middle School East – making it a simple stroll to the course under the guidance of the instructor. The county has made signing up a breeze with registration open both online and through the official Carver County Parks app. For those ready to take a swing at this, let me go ahead and give you the direct line to get in the game: you can register for the class at the Carver County Parks Facebook Post.
Disc golf, for the uninitiated, is a game in which players throw a disc at a target; it uses rules similar to golf and has grown in popularity over the years.
