Tonals ready to ring in Stockholm, SK.

Trevor Lyons, who co-designed the Stockholm disc golf course with Calvin Daniels putts at the #3 tonal target at the course which winds around the ball facility in the town.

Stockholm has long been known for its excellent ball diamond facilities.

The area will soon also be known as hime to another sport — disc golf.

“Our Council had a presentation on disc golf late last fall, and we like that it was an outdoor sport/recreation that was something all ages could participate in,” said Mayor Fran Herperger.

“We turned over the idea to the Ball Diamond Committee, and they were interested too.”

Ron Banga said a course was a good fit.

“We have a great area we are already maintaining, but it doesn’t get used for ball for a long a season as it could,” he said. “When the idea of incorporating a disc golf course in the same area, we thought it was great as it gives our community another recreation opportunity, one that should be available from spring thaw to after the early snows.”

This spring Calvin Daniels, who made the initial presentation last fall to Stockholm Council, returned to the community along with Trevor Lyons, one of his disc golf buddies, and they undertook design of the new course.

“It’s a great space,” said Daniels, who is also interim chair of the recently formed Parkland Association of Disc Golf (PADG). “Lots of trees to throw threw and around, which is great, and we even managed to incorporate the diamonds, which are considered out-of-bounds, so an errand toss will cost players a stroke.”

While there are still some numbers to be placed, the course is playable, so give it a try.
