How would you like to shoot a dozen and a half birdies (or maybe more) in the same round? Instead of a driver, a 5 iron and a putter, you’ll be using something like an “over and under,” and the “birdies” will be disks made of baked clay or some modern substitute. The game we’re talking about here is called “sporting clays,” and it’s often described as “golfing with a shotgun.”

If you’ve never tried the sport, which has been kicking around this country only since 1980, here’s your chance: Lackawanna College is sponsoring its second annual sporting clays tournament at Rock Mountain Sporting Clays in Springville.

The tournament, on Saturday, September 15th, will benefit the college’s petroleum and natural gas technology programs and also scholarships at Lackawanna’s New Milford center, where those programs are based.
