Love is in Bloom at Disc Golf Center as Couple Ties Knot

Spring arrived in full bloom at the International Disc Golf Center (IDGC) in Appling, Georgia, making it an idyllic backdrop for a unique and unforgettable event. On this picturesque day, love was not only in the air but also between two lucky souls who decided to tie the knot on one of the world's premier disc golf courses.

Steve Soucie, a seasoned player with the number 12477, and Lori Lale from St. Thomas, Ontario, had first fallen under the spell of each other as well as the IDGC during their visit in 2010 for the Tim Selinske US Masters Championships. Their affection for both the facility and each other led them to return a year later, not just to play but to also get married within its serene outdoor setting.

The ceremony took place at Hole #1 of the "Steady Ed" Memorial course, an iconic part of the IDGC. The natural ambiance was further enhanced by the chirping cicadas serving as a lively choir, while disc golfers, members of the Disc Golf Hall of Fame, and staff from the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) were in attendance to witness this special moment.

As Steve Soucie exchanged vows with his bride Lori under the archway entrance of Hole #1, the atmosphere became even more electric. The officiator's final pronouncement of Steve and Lori as husband and wife was met with a thunderous applause from the crowd, followed by cheers and congratulations for the newlyweds.

In a charming gesture, after celebrating their union with a kiss, Steve and Lori changed into their golf attire to play a practice round together. Their first task post-wedding? For Steve, it was returning to the Hall of Fame Classic in style; for them both, presenting PDGA Executive Director Brian Graham with a special wedding disc as a gift for the IDGC's wall of commemoration.

In an era where disc golf is gaining popularity and its enthusiasts are known for their camaraderie, this wedding at the IDGC stood out not only for its unique setting but also for the love that was palpable in the air. Congratulations to Steve Soucie and Lori Lale on their special day!
