Disc Golf's Unsung Heroes Share Their Stories | THE BUZZ Disc Golf

Disc golf has been revolutionizing lives worldwide, but its rich history and growth are often overlooked. Filmmaker Dennis Warsen is changing this narrative with his latest project, Disc Golf: History in the Making. This documentary aims to showcase the sport's pioneers and innovators who have shaped disc golf into what it is today.

Warsen has traveled extensively to gather insights from legendary players like Dan "Stork" Roddick, who is not only a renowned player but also ranked as one of the top three players in PDGA history. The film will also feature conversations with today's top professionals, offering a unique glimpse into their experiences and the challenges they face.

One notable guest in the documentary is Bill Nye "The Science Guy", a name synonymous with science education. His inclusion adds an interesting perspective on how disc golf has evolved as a recreational activity that combines physical exercise with scientific principles.

Warsen's journey began with collaboration from major stakeholders, including the PDGA (Professional Disc Golf Association), the Disc Golf Pro Tour, and the World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF). This partnership not only ensures the accuracy of information but also provides credibility to the project.

Filming for Disc Golf: History in the Making started in November 2018, with a crowdfunding campaign launched on Indiegogo. The goal is to raise $110,000 by May 27th, 2022. Once completed, the film will be released on February 15, 2023.

Warsen's passion project is also a labor of love for Flatball Film LLC, a production company based in Oakland, California. This organization has produced numerous films, including the feature documentary Flatball: A History of Ultimate, which can be found on Amazon Prime.
