Disc Golf Heritage Hits Home Run at Lemon Lake Flight Center

The Lemon Lake Flight Center in Crown Point, Indiana is now the proud host of the Disc Golf History Exhibit, a collection of rare artifacts and memorabilia that has been making waves in the disc golf community. This incredible exhibit has traveled far and wide since its premiere at the 2015 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships in Pittsburgh, and its new home is sure to delight disc golf enthusiasts from all over.

The Lemon Lake Flight Center, run by Jay and Deb Svitko, is no stranger to hosting major disc golf events. In fact, it has been named as the first-ever PDGA Regional Development Center (RDC), a program aimed at providing training and education on PDGA initiatives and events. This prestigious title makes Lemon Lake an even more suitable home for the Disc Golf History Exhibit.

The exhibit itself is a treasure trove of disc golf history, featuring dozens of rare discs, full-color displays detailing the evolution of the flying disc, and one-of-a-kind artifacts such as "Steady" Ed's first prototype Pole Hole baskets. These items are on loan from esteemed sources like the Disc Golf Hall of Fame and the "Steady" Ed Memorial Disc Golf Museum.

A significant portion of the funds used to create the exhibit display and traveling cases came from none other than "Steady" Ed Headrick himself, who had his ashes incorporated into special edition discs after his passing in 2002. These unique discs are still being sold today, with proceeds going towards the Disc Golf Foundation's "Steady Ed Memorial Fund".

For those interested in bringing the Disc Golf History Exhibit to their own town, a Request for Proposal (RFP) has been put together by the Disc Golf Foundation and PDGA. The RFP outlines basic requirements such as housing the exhibit for 4-6 months, securing a viewing area of approximately 100 square feet, and providing a certificate of property insurance to cover the artifacts and display.

With its new home at Lemon Lake Flight Center, the Disc Golf History Exhibit is sure to be a hit with disc golf enthusiasts from all over. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, this incredible collection of rare artifacts and memorabilia is not to be missed.
