There was an excellent article about Disc <br /> Golf <br /> in the January issue of the National Park and Recreation Magazine. It was titled "Disc Golf can bring personal <br /> and <br /> community benefits to rural America". You may want to find a copy of that article and pass it on along with this <br /> information below to the PTRC Committee Chairperson. It would be great research and support material for the <br /> committee to review. <br /> Just thought I'd pass this additional information on to you. <br /> Bill Ashton <br /> Minnesota Disc Golf Consultant <br /> Creating a Disc Golf Course: <br /> 1.
