ARLINGTON — Ten years ago, Dave Muntean grabbed a disc and headed to a nearby park with his teenage sons to play a sport he had learned about.

That first round of disc golf turned into a hobby that has taken him around the country and to Japan to play in tournaments. On Saturday evening, Muntean found himself playing a round of disc golf in the most impressive venue of his career — AT&T Stadium.

“This is a dream come true,” said Muntean, 53, who lives in Tallahassee, Fla. “To be playing my favorite hobby in the best football stadium in the country is incredible. I am just soaking this all in.”

More than 500 athletes, amateurs to professionals, gathered in Arlington this weekend to play the 10-hole course set up on the field and in the tunnels of the Cowboys’ home stadium. Billed as the “Disc Golf Experience,” the tournament aimed to bring attention to the growing sport while giving players an unprecedented opportunity, said Jeremy Rusco, owner of Dynamic Discs, a Kansas-based disc golf retailer and manufacturer that sponsored the tournament.

Created in the 1970s, disc golf has grown exponentially in the past decade, Rusco said. More than 50 courses have popped up in North Texas, he said, mostly at neighborhood parks.

We played "frisbee" golf around my college campus in the late 70's. We had no set course; we used light poles; trees, walls, etc. for the "holes." My roommate threw a frisbee on top of the 3 story library; wonder if it is still there...
