THE HISTORY OF DISC GOLF IN LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA
Disc Golf was introduced to
the Lafayette area in the summer of 1996. Since many of the current players weren’t
around back then, I thought I’d give a brief history of how it all started.
Would you believe it all
started at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green? Well sort
of…it seems that Greg Gautreaux, who is now the Athletic Program Manager of
Parks and Recreation for the City of Lafayette, saw some students playing a sport which they called
“Frisbee Golf”, throwing these odd looking “frisbees” into a basket with
chains. That was back in the old
days…ya’ know the late 80’s and early 90’s!
