The Agriculture Committee of the Greater Clinton Area Chamber of Commerce would like to invite businesses, groups, clubs, organizations, etc. to be a sponsor of the Ag golf tournament. Last year, the committee raised enough money to give away three-$1,000 scholarships to college students from Henry County, and we have set the same high goal for this year. The Ag Committee is asking that you consider being a hole sponsor for $100 and participating in our golf tournament again this year. The deadline to be a hole sponsor is Friday, July 7th, as we must allow time to make sure we have signs for everyone. If you would like to know more info on being a sponsor or entering a team in the tournament, call 660-885-8166.
Clinton Disc Golf Tournament; Modern disc golf started in the 1960s on campuses and city parks. The rules and terms are very much like traditional golf. Disc golf started as frisbee golf using trees and such until organizers decided to formalize the sport. In the 1970s a ‘Whamo’ toy inventor redesigned the frisbee into a disc that can fly much farther. They also designed the catch baskets that are used today. The game took off with over 18,000 courses worldwide with over 14,000 in the USA. Hundreds of courses are added each year. The DGA (Disc Golf Association) was formed in 1976. The sport is still growing both at the amateur and pro level. The Clinton Front 9 was put in Artesian Park in 2011 and the Back nine in 2021. These courses were sponsored by the Tony Komer Foundation and the Clinton Tourism Committee. Successful small local tournaments have been held at our local course but on Saturday, June 24 our first Regional Tournament will be held. The tournament will host Pros and several levels of amateurs. You can get more information by going to Udisc.com or Discgolfmonkey.com. Spectators are welcome. The parking lot for the course is west of the Artesian Swimming Pool, South of Hole #1.
