Bethel Community Center Doubles Tournament held at Cornerstone
Church Disc Golf Course in Duncan Falls by Matthew Dotson

does that for us, this is our second year.
So we hope to make this tournament
an annual event, the first Saturday af-
ter the fourth of July. Everything that
we collect here goes to support Bethel
Community Center in Zanesville on the
corner of Ontario and Putnam. We do
an afterschool program for children,
a summer camp for children, we do a
monthly food box for all of those who
are in need, we also do all of the holiday
dinners, we serve around 100 people
each holiday with a home-cooked meal
cooked by our board and employees
and we have entertainment.” stated
Angie Morosko of Bethel Community
Center in Zanesville.
Cornerstone’s eighteen-hole disc
golf course was established in 2020
and has cement tees that really help
when trying to get the right leverage to
launch a disc a good distance. There
are veteran targets on the course that
may take a little more practice for new-
comers to the sport. Dogs are allowed
on the course as well which stretches
along the church grounds and up into
the woods behind the church. The
course is open to the public and is
listed on udisc.com, a popular website,
and app used by people to score their
matches.
