"It went very well, very well," Riviere said Sunday evening. "We had about 30 people there and we still have proceeds coming in."

The Madison-based Glide disc golf pro shop set up a booth and is donating 20 percent from Saturday sales, he said.

Disc golf is played in a manner similar to conventional golf with players trying to move their disc along the course with as few throws as possible, Riviere said. They throw a flying disc similar to the famous Frisbee from a "tee pad" toward a basket suspended above the ground.

If the player is skillful, the disc goes into the basket on the first try. If not, they must make their shot again.

Riviere said he wants to restore the campus course which has fallen into disrepair over years of use.

"The course hasn’t had any real work put in since it was put in," he said. "So I’m thinking of replacing some of the tee pads with concrete that will last longer cause they’re warped and some of them aren’t very safe for play.

"Some of the baskets are bent and need some welding work or even to be replaced in the extreme case," Riviere said. "Some of the signs are gone or vandalized, and so need fixing or replacing."

Late Saturday afternoon Baraboo friends Jordan Austin and Nick Hartwig were waiting at the course for some friends and took some practice tosses from tee pads set at various distances into a basket.

Austin said he was out of town and couldn’t attend the Baraboo Re-Open. But he has been playing for years and supports restoring the campus disc golf course.

Trying to put a disc in the basket, called putting, is a challenge, he said, particularly if it’s from a distance.

"It’s tough," he said. "It’s really hard to get a shot down."

Riviere said disc golf is a good way to get a nice walk in the woods.

"It’s just a good time," he said. "Anyone of any skill level can play at any age."
