National Disc Golf Day

National Disc Golf Day started back in 2016 by two people passionate about disc golf. Jason Wilder was a PDGA state coordinator for Minnesota. He teamed up with Throw Pink co-founder Sara Nicholson to petition for the ‘holiday’. With input from disc golf legends Dan “Stork” Roddick, Jim Palmeri, and Tom Monroe, the group decided on the first Saturday in August as the day to celebrate and recognize disc golf.

There were a several reasons why the first Saturday was chosen. First, the American Flying Disc Open was held in August 1974. That was one of the first competitions in the U.S. First prize for the event was a new car, a 1974 Datsun B210.

The second reason August was chosen was because it was the month that “Steady” Ed Headrick patented the ‘Flying Disc Entrapment Device’, or disc golf basket, in 1977. It was a celebration of the month that gave us two important events in disc golf history.
