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.
We should see much less snow than what was forecast to fall just 24 hours ago.
What had been five to eight inches of snow expected is now about two inches, according to the National Weather Service in Sterling. And for some — like Stafford County where a snow “hole” is forecast, there could be little to any accumulation.
A 26-year-old Stafford man was pulled from a wrecked car Tuesday and was taken to a hospital, where he later died.
The victim, Sean O’Driscoll, was driving a vehicle on Shelton Shop Road, near the Stafford Regional Airport, which struck a tree and collided with a fence. He was extricated from the vehicle and was taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries.
