Overview

In the spring of 2020, many disc golf courses across the US temporarily closed. Virtually every major sporting event and league around the world was cancelled due to Covid-19…but then something magical happened.

Disc golf came back stronger and more popular than ever. More new players discovered the game in just the last two years than in the entire history of the sport combined! Disc golf now has 10 million+ players around the world and Disc Golf: History in the Making has traveled the globe documenting how peoples lives are being changed by the game, and pays tribute to the pioneers whose lives changed the game. Please Join us.
