SCOTS actor Gary Hollywood took the first shot at the official opening of Scotland's only public Disc-Golf course.

The star of Mrs Brown's Boys joined British Disc- Golf champion Derek Robins and local children for a preview of the course at Rosshall Park and Gardens, Glasgow.

Anyone can try the sport, which, like traditional golf, sees competitors try to complete each hole in as few shots as possible. But, rather than hitting a ball, players throw a disc or frisbee.

To finish a hole, players must land the disc in an elevated metal basket.

The course was desig-ned by Disc-Golf champ Chris O'Brien and funded by Glasgow City Council's Govan and Craigton area committee and Glasgow Housing Association.

Councillor Alistair Watson, chairman of the Govan and Craigton Area Committee, said: "This will be a brilliant opportunity for the community and others to engage in something as the sport is suitable for all ages."

Archie Graham, executive member for the Commonwealth Games at Glasgow City Council, said: "This is an innovative way of getting people active and participating in a sport they can immediately understand and take part in without investing in expensive equipment."
