Last month, I had the opportunity and pleasure of travelling to Casablanca, Morocco 🇲🇦 to meet with Tariq Benchrifa, the founder of the Moroccan Disc Golf Federation.
The impetus of the trip was to donate some discs and the first known portable basket to kick start efforts to grow the game in Morocco. We were also able to work together to get the first UDisc dot listed on the map and teach the first known clinic in the country's history!
The Dynamic Discs Scout Basket came from the generous support of the Calgary Disc Golf Community (CDGC). Thank you! Other discs were donated by MDG Media from Belgium and training manuals from Uplay Disc Golf.
We are so lucky to have what we have here in 🇨🇦 and amazing to be able to share a few of our resources in budding communities around the world that really need it. I've experienced first hand the instant smiles and tears of joy (literally) to those that receive them.
Those few discs also often represent more than the entire week's worth of disposable income for a hardworking local family.
Thanks to the generosity of our community, we have taken approximately 1,000 discs to Guatemala, Mexico, Colombia, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Kenya and Morocco in the past three years.
Our duty to grow this sport and community is global.
I will continue to do this as long as I’m travelling and disc golfing.
Next stop - Bogota, Colombia! 🇨🇴
If you have some unused discs, just wanting to take flight in another country around the world, please contact me. Happy to collect them on behalf of our global partners.
Even better, on your next journey, leave some discs and truly change lives (including your own) around the world.
