Marion County's new disk golf course, Orange Crush, opened today. The course is part of the Seth Burton Memorial disk golf complex, which was build in honor of Seth Burton, who was killed in a car accident nearly 10 years ago.

The course is considered an advanced course, which compliments the complex's other course that is considered more for beginners.

The Burton family hopes this course will attract disk golf players from around the country, and some are saying this course will host national tournaments by next year. Many of the pros who played today found the course to be very challenging.

Seth Burton's family and friends say this course is a great way to honor him, with his love of the outdoors and physical activity. "[This is] an affirmation out of what would have been a tragedy," said Seth's grandfather, Richard Gladden, "This is good...life continues. Life is good, and this disk golf course is a celebration of that."
