Have you heard of disc golf, but not sure what it is all about? Are you interested in giving it a try? Do you want some exercise and outside fun before the long, exciting week of MMS activities gets going? Disc golf is a great, fun, outside activity that everyone can enjoy. No experience is necessary for this session. Sign up, come over to the course, and you'll get a chance to learn how to play, and then give it a shot (or more appropriately, a throw). We'll provide the necessary equipment, you just need to come and provide the enjoyment!

How do you get to the course? It's a mile walk or just take an Uber. If you meet up at 6:50 in front of the Blu, you can ask others out there if they're going to disc golf and share an Uber. At a mile away it'll be super cheap and Ubers are easy to get in front of the lobby.
