JUST weeks after the opening of the new disc golf course in Victoria Park, the attraction has sparked discussions about the possibility of initiating Ballarat\u2019s own club.<\/p>\n

Having garnered a significant amount of use from locals and tourists, visiting South Australian representative for Australian Disc Golf, Ryan Nicholson, said he was stunned to meet so many people using the facility.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe course is really impressive, it\u2019s Victoria\u2019s first 18 basket course, pretty much all of the other courses in Victoria only have the 9 baskets,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis course has 18 permanent baskets plus an additional nine to make an ultimate layout for new players and large events.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I visited, I was blown away that there were so many locals already playing and of course it\u2019s only been a couple of weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

With high levels of involvement, Mr Nicolson said the City should consider setting up a dedicated disc golf club for Ballarat players to join.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really positive to see because there\u2019s already a good Ultimate scene in Ballarat which is like a sister sport to disc golf so that will tie in well,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom my experience, I started Mount Gambier Disc Golf Club and we started that before we even had a permanent installation but having a course in the ground ready to go would be really exciting.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of those locals who enjoy the course should look to firing up a club and start running regular local competitions.\u201d<\/p>\n
