Brian Giggey, Chris Grazioso, and Nick O’Connor join us to talk how Belchertown, MA, is creating the town's first disc golf course, Quabbin Valley Disc Golf (QVDC).
Disc golf is one of the fastest growing sports in the country. This is due in large part to the minimal costs associated with playing the sport and developing courses. Disc golf is also a lifetime sport enjoyed by people of all ages and provides a full body form of exercise.
