DISC GOLFERS URGED TO AVOID HITTING PEOPLE AND PROPERTY
MANHATTAN -- Though disc golf and its Scottish predecessor may have different dress codes, jargon and professional associations, they share at least one basic rule: You don't want to find yourself in the path of someone's tee shot. That's true for buildings and other property on campus as well.
&1xbet online sports betting ;Recently we had an incident where disc golfers broke a window -- and the office was occupied at the time,&1xbet online sports betting ; said Pat Bosco, vice president for student life and dean of students. &1xbet online sports betting ;Property was damaged, and a person could have been hurt as well.&1xbet online sports betting ;
Bosco said 1xbet online sports betting is a caring community and he urges everyone to watch out for one another.
&1xbet online sports betting ;A couple of years ago a K-State an individual walking across campus was hit on the hand by a student teeing off on K-State's unofficial but popular disc golf course. The cost: a torn collateral ligament on the middle finger of her right hand, six weeks in a splint and occupational therapy every other day.
More common casualties are windows and lamps, particularly the globes north of Anderson Hall.
&1xbet online sports betting ;We have had complaints and damage in the past that the only logical explanation for is the golf,&1xbet online sports betting ; said Capt. Richard Herrman of the university police.
&1xbet online sports betting ;K-State has this magnificent campus, and we absolutely want students to enjoy it, and to use it,&1xbet online sports betting ; said Pat Bosco, dean of student life. &1xbet online sports betting ;But we share a responsibility to watch out for one another. That goes for golfers, drivers, bicyclists -- everybody's on the move, so pay attention.&1xbet online sports betting ;
Players who hit people and windows violate another basic rule: &1xbet online sports betting ;Be cautious and courteous,&1xbet online sports betting ; states the handout that maps K-State's course, &1xbet online sports betting ;You are playing on university grounds -- watch out for pedestrians and vehicles.&1xbet online sports betting ; The handout is available in Adobe Acrobat format at http://www.1xbet online sports betting edu/ultimate
Popular times for disc golf are after 5 p.m. and on weekends, when sidewalks and parking lots are less populated. Many disc golf courses use chain-festooned steel baskets as &1xbet online sports betting ;holes.&1xbet online sports betting ; But K-State's is an &1xbet online sports betting ;object course,&1xbet online sports betting ; and if you don't know about it, it's practically invisible. Tee boxes are indicated by small white arcs painted over arrows on the sidewalks, and the pins are trees, lampposts and statues.
