Only in Emporia, Kansas would you show up at a middle school and see a permanent 18-hole course built around the property, and not be surprised at all to see it. This town thrives on disc golf, and Emporia Middle School was the perfect host for the 2016 Pro Worlds Field Events this afternoon.
Long Drive
*The Long Drive competition is not a true distance competition that is eligible for any World Records as it is not a WFDF sanctioned event.

The PDGA Amateur & Junior Disc Golf World Championships (Am Worlds) is still and always been considered a family reunion of sorts. It’s a chance each year for hundreds of amateur disc golfers to reunite with the friends and fellow competitors they’ve met over the years, all while competing on amateur disc golf’s biggest stage. One of this sport’s greatest pulls is the sense of community that surrounds it; the feeling that you are part of something inexplicably bigger than the sport itself. If any event were to be the shining example of that concept, it’s Am Worlds.
