Paul McBeth Spreads Disc Golf Love in La Paz, Mexico

Paul McBeth, a five-time PDGA World Champion, recently traded in his disc golf clubs for a pickaxe as he embarked on an exciting new venture. Along with his team and partners from the Paul McBeth Foundation, he descended upon Rancho El Camino in La Paz, Mexico, to introduce disc golf to an area that had never before heard of the sport.

As part of the project, the group spent their days installing baskets, building courses, and hosting clinics for local children, youth, and families. The initiative was a labor of love for McBeth, who is proud of his Mexican heritage. "It's a huge accomplishment and a dream of mine that I've had for many years now," he said with emotion.

McBeth and his team worked tirelessly to create an immersive experience for the participants. They were hands-on from start to finish, ensuring that every aspect of the project was done with care and dedication. The group's efforts paid off as they witnessed the local youth take to disc golf like fish to water. "They all seemed to love it," McBeth observed. "It was something they had never heard of or seen before, but they took to it quickly."

The clinics were designed to be a gentle introduction to the sport, with an emphasis on letting participants explore and learn at their own pace. The results spoke for themselves as children eagerly returned to the course, eager to show off their new skills.

While the initial project has come to a close, McBeth made it clear that this is just the beginning. He plans to maintain a strong connection with Rancho El Camino, watching over the development of disc golf in the area and providing support as needed. A Kids Club is already underway, with a young girl from one of the clinics at the helm.

The next project will be announced soon, but for now, McBeth's focus remains on nurturing the roots he has planted in La Paz. As he put it, "It's a beautiful place." With his Foundation's commitment to developing sustainable disc golf experiences in underserved locations, it is clear that Paul McBeth's passion project will continue to flourish and make a lasting impact for years to come.
