HUBBARD, Ohio - You've likely heard of a golf shop, but how about a disc golf shop?

Disc golf is a sport growing in popularity, and now the Mahoning Valley has it's first retail shop dedicated to the sport.

"Disc golf is very closely related to traditional golf, but instead of hitting a ball with a club we are throwing specifically designed disc, and we are throwing it into a target - a basket," explained Owner Luke Shelton.

On Friday, the Chamber helped celebrate the opening of Pure Fight Disc Golf in Hubbard with a ribbon cutting event.

The shop offers discs, bags, and gear, as well as information to register for tournaments, learn more about the sport and improve their game.

The shop also offers an online store.

The Valley is home to several disc golf courses and clubs. Including courses in Youngstown, Austintown, Boardman, Canfield, Warren and Lake Milton.

With so many new courses and players, Shelton said, the area sorely needed a place where people could come to learn more about the sport.

"Disc golf has changed the lives of so many people around me. The positivity, camaraderie, and health benefits will make an impact on all who play," said Shelton. "Pure Flight Disc Golf will be there to help achieve those goals."

The shop can be found at 6178 Youngstown-Hubbard Rd.
