AT A GLANCE:

Islander Matt Coe first started playing disc golf when he lived in Vancouver, B.C.

“I got bit by the bug, man.”

When he road-tripped across Canada to move back to the Island he and his partner stopped at disc golf courses along the way. One difference between P.E.I.’s courses is that they’re more out of the way - in Vancouver, there were many courses set up in public parks.

A downside to this is that players had to be careful they didn’t accidentally hit standard park-goers with their discs. But if a course is designed with this issue in mind, it can be an easy way to have more disc golf courses, Coe said.
