Iowa State has a fairly good men’s disc golf team. It is consistently ranked in the top 20 and qualified for the National Collegiate Disc Golf Championships again this year, which is not an easy task.

Disc golfers across the country watched broadcasts this weekend of the National Collegiate Disc Golf Championship over the Internet. Going into the final day of competition, Iowa State was 17th out of 40 teams in the toughest division. Way to go, Cyclones.

We disc golfers understand why the older generations who operate school districts, colleges and universities fail to recognize disc golf as a legitimate and up-and-coming sport. They probably think Frisbees are for the beach. However, I would imagine the young journalists at the Iowa State Daily would be more in tune with the student body. Young people like disc golf. It would be nice to see some coverage of the team in the Daily. In turn, I would guess the team likely could stand to publicize its play when it returns from tournaments.
