If playing golf with a club is getting you down, maybe you need a flying disc.
Barrie's Sandy Hollow disc golf site on Ferndale Drive is the most-played course of its kind in Ontario.
City staff want to hear from residents and visitors alike about adding another disc golf course in Barrie.
Disc golf is played by throwing a flying disc at a target called a basket.
The game resembles traditional golf, with nine or 18 baskets on narrow fairways.
The hole is completed when the putt (disc) lands in the basket. The game's object is to complete a course from beginning to end in the fewest number of throws of the disc.
Earlier this year, Barrie city council approved a motion to investigate the feasibility and cost of developing a new nine-hole disc golf course on city-owned land near Park Place in the Bayview Drive area.

Visit Barrie's disc golf website, take the survey, and submit it by August 30.
