“And now, we head to the most epic first tee in disc golf.”
Organizers of the European Disc Golf Festival hosted PDGA staff this past week in Tallinn, Estonia on the hallowed property of the Tallinn Song Festival Grounds.
A year ago, the Local Organizing Committee, led by Director of Operations Matthias Vutt, hosted the European Championships. This year, the EDGF is on the Disc Golf Pro Tour Elite Series. In 2025, the event will hold PDGA Major status.
Before we get into anything disc golf related, let’s start with the basics. If you can name the countries that make up the Baltic nations, you’re already way ahead of most. If you can point them out on a map, consider yourself a part of the geographically elite. The Baltic nations are Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Not surprisingly, they all border the Baltic Sea in northeastern Europe.
