The South Hill Community Association is proud to announce their sponsorship of one of the most popular activities in Moose Jaw.
The new 18-hole disc golf course is situated in Paashkwow Park East, in the heart of Wakamow Valley.
Disc golf is played much like golf but, instead of a ball and clubs, players use a flying disc. The South Hill Community Association has sponsored one of the holes, which you will now see marked with their logo.
"One of our mandates as South Hill Community Association is to encourage and support recreation on South Hill. This disc golf course has become one of the most popular activities for all ages in our city," says Crystal Froese, South Hill Association president. "It is great for everyone — and it can be played all year round, even in the winter."
Wakamow has made it easy for anyone to try disc golf; you call the Wakamow Valley Authority office and they loan out sets of discs free of charge. There is also a UDisc Golf app you can download that shows you the layout of the Wakamow Valley course and allows you to keep score.
The general manager of Wakamow Valley Authority, Todd Johnson, was excited to have the South Hill Community Association support the Valley by sponsoring a hole at the disc golf course.
“By sponsoring the course the South Hill Community Association realizes the importance of removing barriers for participation in sports. This free activity needs community financial support to help with course maintenance.”
Wakamow Valley is currently looking for more sponsors with the same community vision and if a company is interested they can call the Wakamow office at 1-306-692-2717 and support this great disc golf course here in Moose Jaw.
