Emily Beach grew up around the sport, but it took a little while for her to come around to it.
Once she did, she found role models and success and now, in her busiest season yet, Beach is turning in a consistent year competing with the best of the best.
“I started playing competitively in 2013, but my dad has been playing since 1985 so I was born around disc golf,” Beach said. “It took a little while for me to get into the game and I honestly didn’t like disc golf for a while, but I warmed up to it.”

Including a massive time change and a few thousand miles, Paige Pierce quickly went back to work.

A little rain. A little mud. A long hike through the Kentucky woods.
Players needed to handle all three during round one at the DGPT - LWS Open at Idlewild presented by Dynamic Discs & The Nati, the ninth stop on the Disc Golf Pro Tour schedule. Round one experienced a brief delay for lightning but light rain persisted throughout most of the opening round for FPO and MPO competitors.
