With a shotgun start and Queen's "We are the Champions" playing, disc golfers dispersed for 18 rounds of disc golf at Kimball Pines Park on Thursday.The players took aim at 18 baskets, each seeking to rattle chains with an "ace" at the newly expanded course.Largely destroyed by a 2011 straight-line wind storm, the disc golf course at Kimball Pines has returned to some of its former glory thanks to volunteer efforts and funding through a 2020 parks millage.'The county didn't have the funds to take care of the park, so tons of blood, sweat and tears have been put in with work through volunteers," said Kevin Baldwin, a disc golfer who runs the league.
