Exploring Edmonton Disc Golf; Profile of Tim Plamondon
Edmonton, AB — Bringing determination and excitement to Alberta’s disc golf scene, Best Version Media delves deep into his athleticism within disc golf.
Tim Plamondon has always been athletic but wasn’t always a disc golf player. Disc golf, for those that don’t know, is a sport similar to golf. However, it doesn’t use a golf club and small golf balls. Instead, this sport utilizes frisbees or flying discs.
“Disc golf requires the focus and precision of ball golf, the athleticism and technique of baseball, and the competitiveness of hockey,” Plamondon explains, “it takes the best elements of each sport and brings them together in a way that feels unique while providing an exceptionally supportive community.”
His first game was an unintentional surprise. Back in 2016, he was introduced to the sport with a friend without intending to. Initially, they would play soccer and golf in rundle park, only to find that it was scheduled at a different time than they had planned.
“When we arrived, it was communicated that soccer golf was at a specific time, which was not. The person mentioned that there was a disc golf course down the hill,” explains Plamondon. “I just happened to have a couple of Aerobie Flying Rings in my trunk, so we went to the course and played.”
