New disc golf course open in Jackson

A newly installed disc golf course is now open in Litz Park.  The 18-hole course is located within the terrain of the 37-acre park located on Vera Wagner Drive in Jackson.  Disc golf is played similar to traditional golf with 18 catch baskets on a pole with a suspended chain assembly, and one practice basket.  Players will need to bring their own throwing discs.  Concrete tee pads and course signage will be added later this year. The course was designed by Theo Wenger and John Dodd.  The King Foundation and the City of Jackson helped fund the course. For more information, call Jackson Parks and Recreation at 204-8848.
