It's a fall fling

Published: Monday, Oct. 13, 2008 | Page 1B

High winds couldn't keep disc golf enthusiasts away from this weekend's Northern California Series Disc Golf Championships tournament at Johnson-Springview Park in Rocklin.

Fashioned after the traditional game of golf, disc golf requires players to use flying discs instead of balls and clubs and throw them at a target above the ground.

"It's a cheap way to have a good time outdoors," said tournament organizer Jenny Kinsley.

Weekend championship tournaments also were played in Orangevale and Auburn.
