Our Journey

Share the Love Disc Golf  was started by Joel Miller in 2021 as a way to get outdoors and share not just a love of the sport and outdoors, but of Jesus! Joel is a father of 5 and long-time disc golf player. In 2021, Disc Golf was the fastest growing sport. It’s a great way to be active and foster community while maintaining social distance. Joel’s non-denominational church, which has always had strong children’s ministries, supported the work and a concept began to take shape.

Growing up as a disc golfer since high school, Joel rarely saw events or training for young disc golfers coming up in the sport. He wanted youth to learn about the sport and also about the skills and techniques it takes to play the sport. So STLDG got together and started talking to some Tulsa Disc Sports Association members. They got help from Oklahoma Disc Golf Foundation for resources and began figuring out a youth program!

Each event has a putting challenge during sign ups/check in. There are markers at every 5 feet and the player will be able to earn points. a point for every foot basically. At the end of the year, the player with the most points can win cool prizes like a new bag, basket or cart. This gives kids more incentive to want to practice and improve their game while giving them a good sense of competitiveness and fun!

The events feature training from different TDSA members and local pros regarding skills and etiquette! Kids can learn new techniques and immediately put them into action! At the end of each mini tournament, there are family friendly food and refreshments, awards to promote pride in newly acquired skills and
10 minutes to reflect on the love of Jesus.

Share the Love Disc Golf also hosts adult events and tournaments for the more seasoned and serious disc golfer that are great fun!
