Young Disc Golfer's Big Win Brings Joy to Community

Every year, our promotions aim to give back to the community that supports us. To avoid any potential bias, we invite one of our younger disc golf players to pick the winning ticket. This year, Mikey Stonestreet Jr., a talented young golfer from Canton, Ohio, was tasked with this honor. As he took the stage, it was clear that he was thrilled to be involved.

As we pulled out the winning ticket, the excitement in the crowd grew. When we announced that the winner was from the host state, anticipation reached new heights. We called out Daniel Schmidt's name, but unfortunately, he wasn't present in the room. Despite some good-natured jokes about re-picking, we assured everyone that we would contact him shortly.

Before making the call to Daniel, Mikey's father, Mike, approached us with a beaming smile on his face. It turned out that Mike and Daniel are league partners every week. We spoke with Daniel shortly after, and he was overjoyed by the news. He expressed his gratitude to Mikey for picking the winning ticket and promised to find a way to repay him.

In a heartwarming gesture, Mike and Mikey will personally hand-deliver one of the nine baskets to Daniel. This act of kindness has earned them an unforgettable spot in their community's history. Daniel plans to keep the delivered basket as a keepsake and is considering adding the rest to his local course or even proposing a new one.

As we spoke with Daniel, he mentioned that this moment was one of the happiest days of his life, surpassed only by the birth of his two children. The bond between Mikey and Daniel has brought joy not just to the community but also to their families. It's a testament to the power of kindness and good sportsmanship in our disc golf family.
