The PADG really appreciates it.”

Zawerucha said it was an opportunity to support a growing group dedicated to outdoor sport and recreation in the area.

“I haven’t played disc golf myself yet, but it’s obvious there is a lot of interest in the sport, with courses developing across the region,” he said. “So when I found out the PADG was seeking a trophy sponsor I was quick to say yes.”
