So many have come here including Paige Bjerkaas Shue. Also Bill Boylan was amazing as a friend of disc golf and somehow there should be another tournament on that classic track
Norwegian here, who played in the 2012 worlds. Love the courses in the Charlotte area so much. Thank you so much for this film and thanks to everyone who made it possible.
This is great. I started playing disc golf ate the age of 44.i discovered it when I moved to Hatteras Island, NC Now, I live close to Asheville and I try to get in at least 3 rounds per week. It's one of the main things that my 9 year old son and I enjoy doing together. I love this video.
My first time playing disc golf was at Horizon park just this past year. I had no clue it was the first course in NC. This was a well put together documentary.
Grew up on Brent Rd. Kentwood and Jim Markov molded me into the great golfer I am today. Played the summer doubles from 09 to present day and won the Am in 2012 and in 2017 shooting best average for open.
Wow. This was incredible. So many amazing people have been involved in this sports' history. I'm sure it took an extreme amount of courage to talk about disc golf in a serious manner back then. God bless you all for displaying it. Now let's go kick some ass
Excellent film! As someone who has travelled and lived briefly in NC, I can totally appreciate so many things this film calls out. Not only Charlotte, but Connelly, and Horizons!
I drove down from Northern Va to play in this tournament. What an experience. The people who hosted and ran this tournament made it what it the incrredivble expereince it was. Thank you.
Wow! Fascinating story, really spells out how much sacrifice went into making the organization that made it possible for us to enjoy this amazing sport. Great work putting this together.
Amazing story, thankful for that "generation"! As that era retires, (I was mentored by them) I sure do miss learning, listening and working w/ them....more and more everyday! Funny story about professional Bmxers and disc golf, the only other riders who played disc golf, other than myself, were from North Carolina, Greenville to be specific! I am from Washington, was lucky to have found disc golf and NC style courses in the PNW courtesy of Scott Papa!
Thanks Aaron. We need these memories captured now. I hope it helps to preserve the sprit of the game I feel in love with as it grows and changes. Your work is important!
As a recent transplant to Asheboro, NC, I really enjoyed this! I've been playing almost two years and love the sport, and look forward to all that NC disc golf has to offer! And can't wait to see the DGPT Championships atHornets nest this weekend!
I've only been playing 3 years, and so I appreciate this very much. Thank you for such a quality video! That being said, I'm surprised that there wasn't a single mention of the ladies side of golf.
Donovan, thank you so much for your comment! This is the first I have really thought about this. I know I didn't interview any experts of the women's field on NC disc golf but it did come up briefly in conversation and for the most part, on a local level, NC women's disc golf is still very small and growing more and more in the past few years. But it definitely could have made for a good mention especially in the "NC Point Series" chapter since in 2018 when this documentary was recorded and originally debuted, that was the first year that the 'Open Women' division was included in the Point Series. Thank you for noticing this. I think this is a great "10th Inning" opportunity for this documentary and I hope to learn more about NC Women's disc golf now. Cheers!
Outstanding performance gentlemen! Purpose is to be had by all, to find it and actually live enjoying and loving every single day is the challenge I solved through disc golf ! Your leadership and steadfast pioneering I most likely would have been doing what so many others do..... God Bless you
This was such a great watch - so cool to see the history at all the courses where I grew up (Raleigh) where I went to college (Burlington) and where I live now (Charlotte) - Thanks so much for making this!
Hi Aaron! I love this video and the process they talk about how to start up tournaments! I hope to someday be a tournament director/course designer! The way they explain everything in a great and meaningful way says so much about their passion for achieving and being the pioneers of the sport! 🥏
Born and raised in WNC. This documentary is very touching. I love it.
This needs to be on ESPN. Great work.

I've won Yadkin County Am and Sneeky Pete Advanced and love NC disc golf PDGA 7892

As someone who had never heard of disc golf until they moved to NC I gotta say thanks!
I’m only 15 min in but I just wanted to say thank you for making this. It is absolutely fantastic.
Thank you for all the work through all the years! I love NC and I love disc golf! This was great!
TY from a Native Charlottean for the past 50 yrs, have only gotten into disc golf in the past 15 yrs or so but very cool story
Glad you enjoyed it! Next time you see any of these guys out on the course, give them a handshake!
As a Durham native, this was really cool to see. Well-done. Thanks for this.

Awesome! I moved to NC from CA in 2014. Delaveaga and Golden Gate Park were my gem courses. I enjoy NC disc golf. Great documentary.

Elaine, your smile says it all !
I've been playing 35 years but I'm new to North Carolina. So I loved this lesson on the history in the state! Great work!!

Update: I played there in July and had an absolute blast. Have watched your film at least 3 times now!
Thank you so much for your support! I'm glad you enjoyed NC disc golf once you were able to play!
I played Laurel Springs in 1993 and 1994... Lost 3 discs there. Two Hammers and one Roc.
this was really nice. very informative and well made.

I just stumbled across this and I have to say it was amazing. Very interesting. Shout out to my boy, Robert Leonard
Great film! I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to play in NC
Great job. I cant wait to visit NC and play all these fantastic courses.
This was great work! So informative and interesting.

Really fantastic documentary and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep it up and I hope you continue to get better and give Ken Burns a run for his money!
Thank you for the kind words! Lots of Ken Burns influence in this style of documentary. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Great to see Rivers. He eas 15 when I played with him at Laurel Springs
RIP R.L smith... Can't wait till it and Eastway return!
RL Smith was visually one of my favorite courses to walk and play. Picturesque greens and fairways. Hopefully back soon better than ever!
I miss RL Smith 😔
Proud to be a tarheel.
Jim Palmieri shout out 🥏😍
Alamance County saved the National Amateur in 1995??? After Laurel Springs closed
