Disc golf discovery in Texas

Posted April 22nd, 2010 by Sheila Scarborough

Springtime disc golf at Old Settler's Park (photo courtesy Sheila Scarborough for the Round Rock CVB, The Sports Capital of Texas)I was shooting some video for my local Round Rock TX tourism organization when I discovered that one of our parks (just a few miles down the road from my house) has a world-class professional disc golf course.

Since it is springtime here in Central Texas (complete with amazing wildflowers) I shot a photo of what has become the “Sports Capital of Texas” symbol – a Texas flag folding chair – amongst the bluebonnets and next to one of the disc golf baskets on the course for a recent women’s disc golf championship tournament.

Wow, what’s next to discover right under my nose….cricket fields?

Um, yes, there’s a Central Texas Cricket League.

I love my town.

    Wow, that’s pretty cool. I’ve played disc golf in Santa Cruz, CA but didn’t know there were more places in the country to play!
