Contrary to its name, a new disc-golf facility in Fort Morgan, Colo., has city officials feeling positive about the impact of this growing sport for their community.
The Pessimist DiscGolfPark opened in September 2015 at the city’s signature 300-acre Riverside Park. It complements Fort Morgan’s existing Optimist Disc Golf Course at the other end of the same park, and burnishes the city’s growing reputation as a destination for disc golf.
The Optimist course was so named because of the involvement of the local Optimist Club in its original development years ago. There had always been a dream of adding another 18 holes at the park, and the Pessimist name was set aside for the day that dream became reality.
