Women in Disc Golf Shine as Two Communities Rally Behind USWDGC Fundraising Efforts

In a heartwarming demonstration of camaraderie and dedication, two communities have joined forces to empower women in disc golf. The Northwest Arkansas Ladies League and the Louisville Ladies Disc Golf Club are both working tirelessly to support their members as they prepare for the 2025 United States Women's Disc Golf Championship (USWDGC) in Manitowoc, Wisconsin.

Kristin Reeves and Cassie Boblitt, co-founders of the Louisville Ladies Disc Golf Club, have been instrumental in organizing fundraising efforts. The club's initial goal was to cover entry fees for every woman from Kentucky who wanted to participate in the USWDGC, but they soon realized that their reach should extend beyond state borders. They opened up their fundraiser to any women participating in their series tournaments, ensuring that no one would be left behind.

Meanwhile, Brenda Moose and her team at the Northwest Arkansas Ladies League have been working diligently to raise funds for entry fees, as well as travel and lodging expenses for their members. Their Summer Putting League and Winter Putting League events were a huge success, with $1 from every entry fee dedicated to the USWDGC fundraiser. The league also hosted a triples tournament, which raised an impressive $3,000.

Both groups have been able to cover entry fees for all participants, thanks to the generous support of local businesses and organizations. The Northwest Arkansas Ladies League has secured custom team jerseys for their players from Good Bird Disc Golf Apparel, while the Louisville Ladies Disc Golf Club is planning a WGE event in 2026 and considering hosting a B/C-tier women's only event.

Kristin Reeves emphasizes the importance of consistency and community involvement in achieving success. "We wouldn't be registering 19 women without first getting them addicted to disc golf," she says. Brenda Moose adds, "It's not just about the money – it's about building connections and creating opportunities for women to thrive."

As these two communities continue to rally behind their members, they serve as a shining example of what can be accomplished through dedication, perseverance, and collaboration. Their story is an inspiration to all who are passionate about promoting inclusivity and empowering women in disc golf.

For those looking to replicate this success in their own communities, Kristin Reeves offers the following advice: "Start by building a safe space for women to come together and play disc golf. Be consistent, work with local clubs and businesses, and never give up on your vision."
