The Spirit of the Game
I have been disc golfing a little more than 3 years. In this short time I have witnessed the Spirit of the Game touch lives and change lives - over and over.
When a fellow-Club member’s young daughter died this year from meningitis, I saw the Spirit of the Game demonstrated in the hundreds of disc golfers who attended fundraisers held by multiple Disc Golf Clubs to raise money to cover the funeral expenses. And I saw the Spirit of the Game from the disc golf manufacturers and retailers who donated items for the raffles at these fundraisers.
On the course I often observe the Spirit of the Game when more seasoned players are encouraging newbies to continue throwing, providing them with positive tips and suggestions, and often giving them discs to throw and discs to keep.
The Spirit of the Game is reflected in the quality and maintenance of our disc golf courses around the world. The volunteers who give freely of their time and effort because of their passion for disc golf reflect the Spirit of the Game.
At tournaments, there are always those personifying the Spirit of the Game by opening their homes to those needing accommodations.
Larry Kirk, who traveled the country this year to play disc golf in 50 States in 50 Days to spread the word about disc golf, exemplifies the Spirit of the Game.
Those who donate discs and those who take them to other countries to spread the joy of disc golf show us the Spirit of the Game.
The Rotary Clubs and other civic groups who donate money for disc golf courses are motivated to do so by the Spirit of the Game.
The Spirit of the Game is everywhere. It happens daily at disc golf courses throughout the world. If you don’t see it much, look more closely. When you do see it, acknowledge those demonstrating it and tell them “Thank you.”
How will you make a positive difference in the disc golf community by demonstrating the Spirit of the Game in your areas of influence?
