Despite best efforts, LMST falls to Charlottesville

A different type of golf at Pleasant Grove
The Fluvanna County Parks and Recreation maintains an 18 “hole” disc golf course that is open and free to play at Pleasant Grove.

In disc golf, a Frisbee-like disc is thrown toward an above ground metal cage structure. When the player throws his or her disc into the cage the hole is completed.
