The grass is wet, the air is humid and Cessna West Park is full of athletes trying out for the Wichita State University Disc Golf Club.
This year was the largest turnout for disc golf tryouts since its initiation as a student organization in 2014. 21 new and returning players met at 9 a.m. on August 31 to play through the 18 holes the park had to offer.
The players separated into five groups, creating an environment of casual, supportive fun. There were new and running jokes and tips and tricks for different putts.
“It’s a great way to socialize, make friends, and have a good time,” said Kyle Schluben, the club president.
