Stafford County was excited to host the 2021 Disc Golf Stafford Invitational this past weekend on February 6 and 7. This two-day tournament put on by the Stafford Disc Golf Club brought 161 players with 70 percent traveling from outside of the Stafford region, including Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Washington D.C., and one player from Japan.
The tournament was hosted at Stafford's Curtis Park Disc Golf Course and, for the first time ever, the Gauntlet Golf Club. The Gauntlet Golf Club created a hybrid pop-up course in support of the tournament and created a new partnership with the Stafford Disc Golf Club.
"My team and I believe strongly that our place in this community is to give the residents of Stafford County and its guests a reason to go outside and safely recreate," stated Mike Byrd, New Direction Golf Management President for The Gauntlet Golf Club. "Sometimes it requires outside the box thinking; disc golf is different for us, but we love it!"
