SWCC Disc Golf Club hosting free indoor disc golf tournament

The Southwestern Community College (SWCC) Disc Golf Club will be hosting an indoor disc golf tournament at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 22, in the SWCC Student Center gymnasium in Creston.

Entry to the tournament is free and open to the public. Beginner and experienced players are welcome. The first 25 students (college and younger) who participate will receive a free golf disc featuring the SWCC Disc Golf stamp. Prizes will be awarded to the top scores.

The majority of the course for the tournament will be in the gymnasium, but will also snake through the halls, stairs and surrounding rooms in the student center. Players are encouraged to bring their own putters to use.

This is the fifth indoor tournament hosted by the club in the last four years. The last event, held Dec. 7, had 25 participants from the college and community.

The disc golf club is open to any SWCC student, faculty or staff member interested in the game of disc golf, but as mentioned, the tournament is open to everyone. The purpose of the club is to increase awareness of the game, improve playing skills and understanding of the rules, and among other things, play disc golf.
