Staunton Club Holds K Family Day, Plays Disk Golf
by Lucinda Cooke

In November, members of the Staunton Kiwanis Club and their Sponsored Youth CKI Club at Mary Baldwin College got together for a Kiwanis Family Day for fellowship and a round of Disk Golf at Staunton's Montgomery Hall Park. The Kiwanis Disk Golf Kourse was organized several years ago by the Staunton club and the Park and Recreation Department as a means to attract families and groups to the park for a different kind of outdoor activity. Disk Golf is played with a specially designed Frisbee-like disk which is thrown over a course that is set up much like a golf course and is scored like golf. The disk ultimately ends up in a low basket. Since the course opened, it has attracted tens of thousands of players and is a popular location for tournaments. Although Staunton club members and CKI members were novices at the sport, they enjoyed the day with a good deal of coaching from an expert and a lot of laughs along the way.
