If you haven’t checked your calendar lately, let us help: National Disc Golf Day is THIS SATURDAY. That’s right—the first Saturday of August, every year. July’s practically over, and the holiday for disc golfers is almost here.
Wait… National Disc Golf Day is a Real Thing?
Yes. Real. Celebrated. Glorious. Pretty much the best holiday of the year.
National Disc Golf Day was officially established by the PDGA (Professional Disc Golf Association) in 2016 to commemorate the sport’s growth and encourage more people to play. The date—first Saturday of August—was chosen to align with the anniversary of the first formal disc golf course: Oak Grove Park in Pasadena, California, installed in 1975. That makes this holiday as official as any sport celebration gets.
How Do You Celebrate National Disc Golf Day?
Honestly, there’s no wrong way. But here are a few ways to get into the disc golf day spirit:
- Invite a friend who’s never played. (Convert them.)
- Play a solo round and enjoy some fresh air.
- Join a group round and talk trash. Classic.
- Play in a league or tournament.
- Volunteer to clean up a local course or do a disc hunt in the tall grass.
- Watch the PDGA World Championships live on Disc Golf Network (subscription required) or get post-round recaps from Jomez Pro.
Or Start a New National Disc Golf Day Tradition
Why not add some flair to your celebration? Here’s the Discount Disc Golf way to party:
- Bake a disc golf cake (we don’t recommend using minis as sprinkles).
- Blow out a candle for each year you’ve played.
- Smash a disc golf-themed piñata (bonus points if it looks like your favorite pro).
- Build a towering stack of your discs and take a photo. Post it on social media, tag us @discountdg, and use #dgdtower. If your tower is the tallest and doesn’t fall, we might just reward you with a $50 gift card!
