Celebrating Women's Achievements on and Off the Disc Golf Course
Date Published
The start of an exciting year for women's disc golf has arrived with a bang! Myrriah Gomez, the first-time tournament director, has partnered with Innova Champion, Legacy Discs, and Pocket Disc to host the 1st Annual International Women's Day Tournament. Scheduled for March 9th at Brent Baca Disc Golf Course in Albuquerque, New Mexico, this one-day C-tier event promises to be an unforgettable experience.
The city of Albuquerque, a vibrant and beautiful destination, has been waiting for a sanctioned tournament for over 10 years. This is the perfect opportunity for disc golf enthusiasts to explore new courses, meet fellow players, and enjoy the city's hospitality. Registration will be open until the morning of March 9th, or until the event fills up, whichever comes first.
Myrriah Gomez, with her background in Women's Studies and passion for disc golf, has cleverly merged these two interests to create an event that raises awareness about both women's achievements and the sport itself. The theme of this year's International Women's Day is "The Gender Agenda: Gaining Momentum," which perfectly aligns with the goals of the tournament.
The highlight of this event lies in its charitable aspect. 100% of the proceeds will benefit Young Women United, a community-organizing project that supports young women of color aged 13-15. This organization works tirelessly to improve access to quality healthcare, education, and reproductive rights for these young women.
As disc golfers and advocates for women's rights, Myrriah Gomez is making a bold statement with this event. The combination of her love for the sport and her dedication to social justice is inspiring, and the special player's pack offered to all female attendees is just one more way to show appreciation for their participation.
If you're planning on attending the Texas State Championships after The Memorial Championship presented by Discraft, consider adding this tournament to your schedule. You'll get to experience the beauty of Albuquerque, support a great cause, and potentially play your first course in New Mexico. Myrriah Gomez invites all women to come for the golf and stay for the hospitality!
