Disc golf in Columbia County

LEAH - The grass on Brian Graham&#39;s fairways is not closely cut, and some of the trees nearby are less than green.<br> <br> The course doesn&#39;t look much like famed Augusta National Golf Club, a short drive away. Still -- just as Augusta is home to golf&#39;s Masters tournament -- Graham hopes people will someday think of Columbia County as home of the majors of a distant cousin of the sport -- disc golf.<br> <br> Disc golf is similar to the traditional game but uses specialized discs instead of clubs and balls. The discs are equipped to fly various distances, and players fling them from a tee box, hoping eventually to reach a basket goal.<br> <br> The game -- also called Frisbee golf -- emerged in the mid-1970s. The trees, shrubs and terrain of a disc golf course provide challenges for the players to get around.<br> <br> Graham wants to move the Professional Disc Golf Association its international headquarters from Toronto to Wildwood Park in Columbia County. He figures the move could mean $1.8 million annually in tourism money for the county, which could play host to professional and amateur tournaments held at championship courses.
