FRISBEE IN ONE
Dubbo Photo News was on a job near Sandy Beach when we came across John Pluck taking shots at a target with his frisbee.
He had one practise shot to warm up for our photographic opportunity, then effortlessly scored a “hole-in-one”.
“We probably do it each weekend and through the week sometimes,” he told Photo News, remarking that it’s a great, low impact activity where people can get out in nature and enjoy the serenity.
“100 per cent, yeah, it’s really nice to be amongst the big trees and the green grass, it’s lovely.”
On getting a hole-in-one while the pressure was on him?
“It definitely felt good.”
Harry Orr was also having a crack – he normally spends his winters refereeing multiple junior rugby games over the course of a Dubbo weekend and says frisbee golf is conducted at a far less frenetic pace.
“It’s great, it’s nice and relaxing, you can chill out and take things at your own leisure,” Mr Orr said.
He said there’s a time for full-on contact sports and other times where it’s just nice to chill out and take it easy, while still getting the manifold benefits of open-air activity.
WITH social media a sea of criticism and 2020 a year most people already want to forget, it’s a humbling moment when people work at being positive rather than trying to tear things down.
Hilda Newstead is part of Gilgandra Country Women’s Association (CWA) Evening Branch and this week she sent an email to congratulate Dubbo Photo News and staff for just being here.
“Happy 15th Birthday, what an achievement by the Pankhurst family,” Mrs Newstead wrote.
“You all look a very happy bunch of people who enjoy bringing the Photo News to the people of Dubbo and district. We thank you and staff for your continued support to us for publishing our C.W.A Market notice each week in the Diary.”
Gilgandra’s CWA Evening Branch will commence their market again on August 1.
Everyone at Dubbo Photo News hopes their market day will be a success after a four-month spell.
