Professional Disc Golfers host free clinic for Sand Springs kids
/Charles Page Library hosted a free disc golf clinic Wednesday morning in Sand Springs. Librarian Richard Why and wife Tara hosted the event; both are teammates for FOSSA Disc Golf and play professional tournaments across the central United States.
The Whys have hosted the event annually for several years. The clinic started with a lecture on the fundamentals of the sport with information on local courses and stores.
The Oklahoma Disc Golf Foundation donated free discs to the event. The organization also helps cover tournament fees and travel costs for golfers under the age of 18. Fossa donated hats and mini-markers.
Following the presentation, the golfers moved outside to work on form and learn the different types of driving.
Sand Springs recently installed a new 18-hole disc golf course in Case Community Park near the BMX track and rodeo arena.
