Maximo Mayhem

Saturday June 14th

Hey Benton,

Thanks again for putting on a great show. You da man!

I really liked the format and I had a great time despite some sketchy golf. Guess I should have paid attention in class. Speaking of that…

I also wanted to tell you thanks for doing the clinic. Crystal, the girl came up with us, especially enjoyed that. She’s only been playing a few months and has the golf bug big time. I think she really took something away from that. Con also said that Terri spoke highly of it during their round. I like to hear what’s inside the head of players as good as Medina.

See ya next time.

Butch

Disc golfers keep eyes on the basket
The course at Maximo Park invites
enthusiasts to enjoy this fast-growing sport.

By WAVENEY ANN MOORE, Times Staff Writer
Published January 16, 2008

ST. PETERSBURG

Visitors to Maximo Park can't miss the people
carrying plastic discs and bags slung over their
shoulders. But they might wonder why they are
darting in and out of the woods.

These are disc golfers, an estimated 10,000
of whom live in the Tampa Bay area. Ken Climo,
the sport's 12-time world champion,
is from Clearwater.

As for Maximo, its 18-hole course is
considered one of the most challenging
for beginners.

"You could call that a technical course
because there are a lot of palm fronds and
very narrow fairways and lots of trees or 'rough.'
 And you can't beat the scenery. The 18th hole
finishes on the waterway looking toward the
Skyway bridge," said C.R. Willey, a Seminole
landscaper who has been playing the sport
professionally for more than 20 years and
holds four world titles.

Many a time, said Willey, 44, he's ended a game
at Maximo by catching that evening's dinner.

Disc golf resembles traditional golf. Players
throw their discs to each hole, but in disc golf,
the "hole" typically is an elevated metal basket.

As in little-round-ball golf, players must take
their shots from wherever the disc lands, which
at Maximo, means navigating the park's dense
trees and shrubs.

St. Petersburg parks director Clifford J. Footlick
said the course is about 7 years old. The city built
the course at the urging of disc golfers, he said.

"It's the only one in St. Petersburg. There was
one gentleman who actually purchased the baskets
for us. They set it up. They designed it. We
helped with some of the labor," Footlick said.

"We've just been thrilled with it. In fact,
I'd like to find another site. It's very popular.
It's usually really busy on weekends."

Willey, who conducts clinics at schools, said
most courses in the United States are in public
parks and are free for players. This area's only
pay-to-play course is in Dunedin, he said.

The region has seven courses and 15 within an
hour's drive, he said, adding that people
actually move to the Tampa Bay area because
of the sport.
