It's no secret that the Caldwell Public Library and the Lynx consortium library members lend much more than just books. In fact, some of our highest circulating items aren't books at all. I love highlighting our activity and outdoor kits. It's always a pleasure to see a patron try a new craft or game they may not have otherwise been exposed to and all it takes is a library card!
I've dabbled in disc golf for years now ever since the city of Nampa installed a course at West Park. It's only in the last year or so that I've really tried to learn the game and refine my technique. Initially, I just grabbed whatever discs were laying around in the garage. Later, when I received a basic set of disc golf discs as a present, I realized it takes some specialized equipment to really get into the game. That's why I'm excited to introduce you to our Disc Golf Outdoor Activity Kit.
Our disc golf kit comes in a very convenient disc bag and includes three basic types of discs: a driver, midrange, and putter. Also included, is a basic rule sheet to get you started. It's a perfect set for any beginner that can get you out and playing without having to invest in your own discs. We're also not the only Lynx member to circulate a disc golf set, so if you want to bring a friend you may want to look into checking out another kit. Be advised, not all Lynx library members allow their kits to circulate through our courier system, so you may have to visit their locations to checkout and return your kit.
We live in a great area for the game. Caldwell has a fantastic 18-hole course at Mallard Park, and Nampa has a total of five 9-hole courses around the city! The best part, every course is a public park so there are no fees. Disc golf is a great lifetime sport, and an easy way to get out and increase your physical activity. It's a deceptively simple game that can be enjoyed by young or old anytime of the year.
