Team DGDG went international over the past couple of weeks!
I was fortunate to represent Disc Golf Design Group while traveling through Scotland and Ireland, where I played rounds at four different disc golf courses and, of course, spent plenty of time checking out the course designs along the way.
First up was my favorite of the trip, Springburn Disc Golf Course in Glasgow, Scotland. I happened to be on the course during a solar eclipse that was visible from Glasgow. Unfortunately, the skies were pretty overcast, but I still managed to get some cool pictures and experience the noticeable change in light while playing disc golf. Pretty darn cool!
Next up were two courses around Galway, Ireland. Eile Mental had some really cool terrain and plenty of potential, although the course could definitely use some additional love and upkeep.
I also played the beginner friendly 12 hole course at Wildlands Adventure Centre. It was super short, but a lot of fun. I aced Hole #1 at a whopping 67 meters. I am pretty sure it was the shortest ace I have ever had, but an ace is an ace!
The final stop was Corkagh Disc Golf Course in Dublin. I enjoyed the layout and had an especially good time playing this one because my son Andrew joined me for the round.
All in all, it was a blast getting to play disc golf while traveling through Scotland and Ireland. Every course offered something different, and I found moments of joy, inspiration, and some pretty cool design features at all four courses.
Hopefully, some of the networking along the way will eventually help Team DGDG land a design project across the pond.
Scotland or Ireland, we are ready! 🇬🇧
