The good Shepherd and I embarked on a voyage to play the disc golf course in South Vineland Park. Â We had a hard time locating the park, apparently the park doesn’t have a mailing address, so attempts to map it to the car’s GPS proved impossible. Â So we had it map what we felt was the street where the course would be found. Â This of course took us a great distance out of the way (also known as very lost). Â
Luckily we did enjoy another fine lunch as Sugar Hill Subs. Â So despite being lost, tempers never did flare. Â While driving there the heavens opened up and let loose a downpour of biblical proportions. Â With little to no visibility it seemed that not only would we not find this legendary course; even if we did locate it we’d be rained out. Â Luckily we were able to weather out the storm (with headlights off almost the entire time dummy), and eventually find the park.
The 18 hole course was amazing. Â And the heavens cleared during the the 2nd basket, giving us a most glorious day to appreciate this newfound course. Â This proved to be a most challenging course, with the distance to the baskets being much greater than what we’re accustomed. Â Another notable challenge is the narrow lanes that one is faced with. Â There’s times where you must navigate a 300+yd forest opening that’s no more than 5 feet wide. Â An extremely daunting, but rewarding task.
The changes in elevation brought a new dimension to the great game of disc golf to us rookies. Â It’s something that must be seen to be truly appreciated, on a drier day I will have to take some photos to share. Â The Shepherd took a nasty spill down on of these treacherous slopes that I speak of. Â While and extremely funny sight to behold, there was no shame in the slip. Â For I almost had several spills myself.
An extremely impressive disc golf course, one that must truly be given a try.
