Many “06880” readers know what a disc golf course looks like
Many others have seen one at Sherwood Island — even if they had no idea what it was.
Plenty of readers know both: that last week’s Photo Challenge offered an overhead view of one of the disc golf “holes,” at Connecticut’s first state park.
Janine Scotti’s image showed a basket with chains above it. When a “disc” (Frisbee is the trademarked name) hits the chains, it drops below. There are now over 8,000 courses, in 54 countries. (Click here for the photo.)
These readers knew one — or both — elements of last week’s Challenge: Rindy Higgins, Ellen Greenberg, Rich Stein, Chip Stephens, Clark Thiemann, Janet Amodio, Luke Garvey, Molly Alger, Wendy Crowther, Ralph Balducci, Brad French, Howard Potter, Laure Goldberg, Jalna Jaeger, Amy Schneider, Seth Braunstein, Janet Avon, Diane McCoy and Bruce Salvo.
Okay, sports fans: Here’s this week’s Challenge. If you know where in Westport you’d see this, click “Comments.” below.

FUN FACT 1: The name “Frisbie” comes from the Bridgeport-based Frisbie Pie Company. In the 1950s they supplied pies to Yale University, where students started the fad of tossing empty pie tins stamped with the company’s logo.
FUN FACT 2: Staples High School had one of the first “Ultimate Frisbee” teams in the nation. Click here for details.

Longshore?
grey?
Maybe Greys Creek????
Grey’s Creek I see the stone marker on the left.
Interesting that everyone knows it’s a drone shot of one of our waterways. But only the first commenter — Richard Craig — got it right. This is the view of the tidal inlets at Burying Hill Beach. All the others are good, valid guesses.
But wrong.
Since you said “Sports fans”, I thought it might be such a venue.
That was just a reference to the disc golf photo …

Ooops! A dollar late and a day short.
