Disc golfing gaining popularity

by Rebecca Bunger Antelope Staff Writer

Disc golfing is a sport that is quickly catching on in Nebraska. Courses are going up all over the state, including three in Kearney: Centennial Park, Cottonmill Park and Sunrise Middle School all have courses that are available to the public. Sunrise also uses their course for physical education classes. The courses in town are trying to expand the sport by holding tournaments at Centennial Park every Thursday at 6 p.m. and every Sunday at 3p.m. at Cottonmill. Brian Peterson, a lab technician in the UNK biology department, is cofounder of these tournaments. “We’re trying to give back to the community, to the kids that spend their time out on the courses,” he said. “These tournaments are a great way to develop skills,” Peterson added. Teams are drawn randomly, pairing an advanced player with either a beginner or intermediate player. The cost is only $2, mak- Photo by Steph Fielder ing it reasonable for almost anyone to play.

It truly shows that they care about the women of the future,” she said. UNK Alum, JoAnn Scott, director of NCAA, high school and Division I conference relations for NIKE, was the keynote speaker. Her theme was “Live in the Present.” She stressed five main points in her discussion: examine your possibilities; find a mentor; there will be many chal- lenges in your life so don't play the victim; support other women; and always keep learning. Wiebelhaus said, “These five points that JoAnn stressed really put things into perspective for me. They gave me something to think about and I believe that her advice will lead me in my path to success.” “It was amazing to spend the weekend with such wonderful, talented and successful women. Their expertise, knowledge and words of wisdom were very helpful and I will remember this wonderful experience throughout my future endeavors,” Wiebelhaus said. UNK alumus Dwann Holmes-Olson, president and C.E.O. of D&C Multimedia Inc., said image is everything. “First impressions really go a long way.” Tammy Moerer- Urdahl, alum from Fort Calhoun, also stressed the importance of first impressions. “Your smile is everything, it gives you confidence and it makes you comfortable,” Urdahl said. A few tips suggested by Urdahl were to ask open-minded questions, to listen twice as much as you talk and to respond enthusiastically. Howard is pleased by the whole event. “Something I always look forward to is watching the students grow from this experience and seeing their success in the present as well as the future,” she said. “I think this was a very successful year. There were a lot of good connections that were formed between the alums and the students. A lot of learning and fun took place over the weekend,” Howard said. She said, “My favorite part of the whole weekend was being able to look across the room and to see the alums and students talking, networking, and even laughing. Knowing that lasting relationships were being formed this weekend was a wonderful feeling.” Raise $2,500- $5,000 in one week!! Tired of the same old Credit Card and Candy Fundraisers?
