KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (June 17, 2015) - This morning, Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett joined Knox County Commissioner Bob Thomas, County Parks and Recreation staff, Knoxville Disc Golf Association members and Pluto Sports representatives to mark the official opening of the back 9 at Tommy Schumpert Park's disc golf course.

According to KDGA members, the Schumpert Park disc golf course is now the longest and most challenging course in the Knoxville area, and will hopefully be added to the Knoxville Pro-Am tournament.

Information regarding local disc golf tournaments and course locations can be found on the KDGA’s website www.knoxdiscgolf.org. For a map of the Schumpert Park disc golf course visit http://knoxcounty.org/parks/pdfs/disc_golf_schumpert.pdf.
