Meet Zoë Winfield: A Disc Golf Champion Breaking Down Barriers

Zoë Winfield is a shining star in the world of disc golf, and we're thrilled to feature her as our first member spotlight. With a wealth of experience on and off the course, Zoë has become an inspiration to players of all ages and skill levels.

We caught up with Zoë at her home in Nottingham, England, where she shared her incredible story of how she discovered disc golf just four years ago. It was during a tournament on Koi Samui, Thailand, that Zoë's partner Will Woodward introduced her to the game. She was hooked from the very start and has since become a regular participant at local courses, including Sherwood Pines in Nottingham.

As a busy person with a demanding schedule, Zoë appreciates the flexibility of disc golf, which can be played at any time, even just for 20 minutes. "I love that it can fit into my life whenever I want," she says. Whether it's a quick round or an organized tournament, Zoë is always up for a challenge.

One of the things that sets Zoë apart from other players is her dedication to growing the sport and making it more inclusive. As the chair of both Nottinghamshire Disc Golf Club and the UK Women’s Disc Golf Association, she's worked tirelessly to create opportunities for people from all walks of life to get involved. "I want to show everyone that disc golf is not just a game, but a community," she emphasizes.

Zoë's love for disc golf is contagious, and she's built an incredible network of friends around the world who share her passion. From Finland to New Zealand, America to Iceland, she's made connections with people who have become like family to her. "Disc golf has given me so much more than just a sport," she says. "It's given me life-long friendships and memories that I'll cherish forever."

Of course, no conversation with Zoë would be complete without talking about some of her most memorable moments on the course. We were thrilled to hear about her experience representing Great Britain at The 2021 European Disc Golf Championships in the Czech Republic, where she met new friends from all over the world. Another standout moment was being featured in Jomez's "Women Who Crush" series, which showcased her incredible skills and enthusiasm for the game.

As we wrapped up our conversation with Zoë, it became clear that she's more than just a talented player – she's a true advocate for disc golf and its values. Her message of inclusivity, perseverance, and community is one that resonates deeply with players everywhere. As she so eloquently puts it, "We are all connected together, just like the links of the Chains." Thank you, Zoë, for sharing your story with us – we can't wait to see what the future holds for this incredible disc golfer!
