The Bulloch County Disc Golf Course is a hidden gem located near the animal shelter.
Hole 4 is considered by locals to be one of the more treacherous holes.
The woods on the Bulloch County Disc Golf Course are beautiful. "Its nice to look at, but you do
not want to be in the middle of it," said disc golfer Alex Smith.
On the left of this photo is Teddy Smith. Teddy is 21, and works at the Comfort Inn and Suites.
His brother, Alex, is 25. Alex is a guitar teacher and currently has his own band.
Teddy lines up his putt. "I try to focus in to make sure I aim for one chain," Teddy says.
Alex throws a sidearm at max power. "I have been working on my sidearm for a couple of months now.
I am definitely starting to see results."
Alex throws a backhand drive. "I am always more confident throwing the disc backhanded.
Even though I am facing away from the target, it just feels more natural."
Teddy and Alex Smith look for their lost discs. A lot of time playing disc golf is looking
for lost discs.
Hole 7 on the Bulloch County Disc Golf Course. "Instead of holes like they have in 'ball golf,'
we have baskets.' The goal of our sport is to get the disc in the basket in as little throws as
possible."
Alex in obvious turmoil after an errant drive. "It hurts to watch the flight of the disc when you know its bad," says Alex.
Alex looks for his disc after his drive. "It is just part of the game," says Alex.
Each hole has a distinct fairway designed for the flight of the disc. Each course has 18
holes as regular golf does.
Alex throws a drive. "Whenever you throw a bad shot, you have to know it does not define
your game. Thats how you create a bad round for yourself," says Alex.
Teddy throws a shot out of the woods. Unlike regular golf, it is expected to make your way
out the woods in disc golf.
Alex putts toward the target. "drive for show, putt for dough, at least thats what the internet says,"
Alex tells.
Alex lines up the putt. As in regular golf, putting is most important in winning the round.
Teddy watches his putt fly. In disc golf, the longer the putt, the further you can miss.
Teddy in pain after missing the putt. This putt was for par and started a downward trajectory
on his round.
Teddy lines up his shot on a tunnel hole. One of the hardest shots in disc golf is to throw the disc
straight.
Alex focuses in on the timing of his release. "If I could just get my timing down, I can beat anyone out here," says Alex.
Alex's drive lays on the ground in the woods. As in real golf, you never want to be off the fairway,
