Spring Fling Success!
By: Orange County Department of Parks and Recreation
On Saturday, April 15, 2023, the Orange County Department of Parks and Recreation celebrated their third annual Spring Fling Disc Golf Tournament at the Orange County Disc Golf Course with specialty frisbees to celebrate. Joe Falin, parks and recreation supervisor, created a specialty logo for this particular event. “ We ’ re doing a theme throughout the entire year where our mascot, the woodchuck, is hopping and going into other mascot ’ s logos, ” Falin said. “ The woodchuck got into the disc logo and now he ’ s gone into the rabbit logo this year. ” So far this year, there have been 364 rounds of disc golf played and over 100 players have played at the course.
However, this was the first year the Easter Bunny made an appearance resulting in the highest disc purchase in program history. “ The Spring Fling is unique with them being able to purchase their own egg and get a gift, ” Falin said. The Department was able to opt for higher - end plastic that was top of the line because of the bonus eggs players were able to purchase. At the conclusion of the tournament, the Easter Bunny passed out eggs containing modifiers for the final round of the tournament such as taking a stoke off the final score, getting a do over driver, or taking 10 steps forward from the tee box at the start of any hole. If you didn ’ t get your chance this spring, you will definitely want to play this fall in the annual Turkey Toss Tournament. Where will the woodchuck will appear next?
