πŸ’‘ Spotlight: Using Impact Reports for Real Course Upgrades πŸ› οΈ

Have you shared the impact of disc golf at Thorpe Park yet?

Organizers at White Spruce in Ontario, Canada, presented their annual fact sheet to Brampton’s Parks and Recreation department. The numbers helped convince the department to invest in the course’s long tee pads, upgrading them from worn-out rubber mats to well-constructed turf tees!

“They didn’t realize how much traffic we actually get through the course and were extremely excited to help us,” said White Spruce Course Ambassador Wesley William Watt.

Communicating these outcomes to local players is keyβ€”after learning how UDisc data drives course improvements, more club members signed up to track their play and support future city collaborations. πŸ“ŠπŸ™Œ
