As winter winds down, most spring sports head into the postseason, the sun starts to shine a bit more, and one team is just getting started: the disc golf club team.

The K-State team this year consists of about 10 active members, but next year there will be a possibility of about 20 players set for competition.

Though it has grown in popularity since early 2005, the sport was actually invented in 1976 by Ed Hedrick, the inventor of the modern day Frisbee.

With the long winter and colder evenings, this season had a sort of damper on it. Now that the weather is getting much warmer and it has been brighter outside, the team can practice to improve its skills for next season.

"The nice weather creates a great atmosphere to relax and have a good time - that is what disc golf is all about." said Patrick Cassity, sophomore in civil engineering.

Team members said disc golf is not like most other club sports; it is more of a relaxing and fun way to get outside.

Though there are a few competitive leagues in the Midwest, the K-State club team is more focused on interacting and making students aware of the sport and team.

"Right now we are focused on re-building, we have a lot of work to do but there are several things we need to do to promote the team." said Joey Collins, senior in mechanical engineering.

Even if the team is rebuilding and not looking to be competitive this year, the future appears bright as the team looks forward to competing and being active around Kansas next year.

"We look forward to traveling next season and being way more competitive with other college club teams." said Collins.

Collins said the team will post flyers around campus this summer for interested players and will begin monthly meetings sometime in May.

There is a disc golf course on campus. The course incorporates light poles and natural elements but does not use baskets for holes.

There is also a course with baskets at Tuttle Creek Reservoir.
