Jackson Sullivan has a practice round yesterday ahead of the South Island disc golf championships at Waiora Scout Camp. Disc golf has had an upswing in popularity around the world over the past year, as physical distancing has influenced what people can do. The South Island championships, which begin at Waiora Scout Camp today, have attracted a record 118 competitors. Like golf, holes have par between three and five, although it is played over 27 holes as opposed to 18. Auckland’s Jackson Sullivan would contest the title, while Queenstown duo Mikey Yu and Hemi Te Awhitu would also be among the top contenders.
