Armed with a microphone and TV camera, Shaw TV reporter Simon Hiatt joined Saskatoon Disc Golf Inc. out for a special round of disc golf at William A. Reid Park in Saskatoon’s Fairhaven neighbourhood.

On June 29, Gophertown Disc Golf held its weekly league night not at Diefenbaker Park, but at a proposed site for a new disc golf course in Saskatoon.

SDG Inc., is currently working with the City of Saskatoon to install a new disc golf course at Reid Park, but with the help of volutneers SDG was able to set up a temporary course, showing players what the new course could look like.

Thanks to Simon for piecing together a great feature on Saskatoon Disc Golf Inc., and the sport of disc golf in the region.
