3 years ago I lost my husband, and the best disc golf buddy ever. The man I fell in love with the game with. We didn’t have much money but loved the game so much we started buying a basket a year (the cheapest possible) and started cutting trees and building a course. I was crushed when he passed!!!  We only had 11 holes in at that time. I couldn’t do ANYTHING for months after he passed but it was the love of disc golf that got me going again, continuing to build the course alone was like therapy for me. Fast forward to today, I have 22 holes in. I know he looks down on me and is so proud of what I have accomplished. I have met so many new disc golfer friends since he has passed. I love to have new friends come out and play at my course (sage creek, Memphis ,MI). It’s an amazing feeling to have people come out and appreciate all our hard work and love for the game. Getting new people into the game is also a great feeling. Friends and neighbors who have never saw a disc golf basket or heard of the game are now hooked on disc golf and love it. The mayor of Memphis has been out to play my course, and has expressed interest in me designing a 9 hole course for the city at the park along the river. Also working with a friend that has been in talks with the Columbus county park about putting in an 18 hole course. Grow the sport!!! If you build it they will come! :)
