When airlines captain Michael Coldagelli packs his belongings for the next flight sometime in the future, he'll check for his toiletries, toothbrush, socks, workout gear, slacks, sport shirt and . . . golf discs.
That's because the native of Wisconsin, when he's not prepping for his future in the aviation industry, is a disc-golf aficionado, and the heck with a driver, nine iron and putter in approaching well-manicured greens.
In addition to being a fan of Bronco sports -- especially hockey and baseball -- the double-major, WMU College of Aviation student "loves being outdoors and playing disc golf" at the Kalamazoo-area courses, as well as those around southwest Michigan and back home. The latter is in New Berlin, Wis., a western suburb of Milwaukee where about 40,000 folks reside.
