Paul McBeth Foundation helps grow disc golf in Mongolia with support from GRIPeq and PDGA
We are proud to announce that GRIPeq is a Gold Sponsor for the Paul McBeth Foundation’s first-ever project in Asia. The project aims to solidify and potentially expand the only disc golf course in Mongolia, introducing the sport to a whole new region. With the help of experienced course designers and local ambassador Sukhbold Gombojav, we hope to bring excitement and inspiration to the people of Mongolia.
With over 1.5 million people, Ulaanbaatar is home to nearly half of Mongolia’s population, which makes this course project ideally situated to have a lasting impact in the region. Gombojav believes in the power of sport to combat societal issues and improve communities.
“Sports activities create energy, confidence and a healthy lifestyle,” he said. “They are safe and are socially and economically efficient by being sustainable to all.”
For projects in regions where disc golf is still in its infancy, it is vital to have a plan for spreading and sharing experience with local organizers, and one of the most pressing challenges is access to disc golf expertise and teaching. That’s why the PMF team heading to Mongolia will also include both a disc golf teacher and media support to help address this need.
This additional support isn’t possible without incredible partners, which is why PMF has drafted Kansas City-based disc golf bag manufacturer GRIPeq as a Gold Sponsor. “Grip Equipment is proud to support the Paul McBeth Foundation and its efforts to promote disc golf on a global scale,” says Dick Parker, Director of Sales and Community Engagement at GRIPeq.
We believe that this project will leave a lasting impact, and we can’t wait to see the sport grow in this beautiful country.
