It took about seven years to get permission to build the Dee Havig Disc Golf Course and another four years of play for a frolfer to score a hole-in-one. On Sunday afternoon Jay Dickerson, the man responsible for designing the dream course to become a reality, threw the perfect shot.
Dickerson was nonchalant about the shot, but others were thrilled watching the first hole-in-one thrown on the course during a Park County Disc Golf Club outing.
“I was yelling and jumping up and down,” said top tier player Collin Kifer. “Meanwhile Jay had just a grin on his face.”
Dickerson isn’t counting, but has played at least 100 rounds on the county’s only permanent course on the Northwest College campus. He was playing in a foursome including Kifer, Dean Woyak and Ritchie Whaley.
“In the span of three seconds my thoughts went from “that came out nice” to “that looks good” to “ahhhhh!” Dickerson told club members in a group chat.
Through the years Dickerson has proved to be one of the top players in the club and has a personal record of 7-under par on the 18-hole course. He designed the course so that two of the holes are just outside his office. He is an associate professor of biology at the college. In 2022 he won the Student Activity’s inaugural Kick-Off Weekend disc golf tournament, which has 31 members according to the club’s Facebook page.
