The sport of disc golf is popular around Mid-Michigan, with several courses to play and practice on. The growth has reached the point of having a next level, with the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) hosting events..
The Ichabod Crane Open, a PDGA event hosted in Laingsburg, helps bring the game of disc golf to the Lansing Area. Hosted by PDGA member Alex Moser, the event provides an opportunity for local competitors of different skill levels to come out and compete.
