THE FIRST DISC GOLF COURSE IN UGANDA | Paul McBeth Foundation
Discover the creation of the first disc golf course in Uganda, made possible by the Paul McBeth Foundation. The documentary follows the journey as a team visits a village on the shores of Lake Victoria, where they meet the community and learn about their way of life. They visit the orphanage, school, and church, showcasing the rich culture and welcoming nature of the people. The team also discusses the challenges of bringing disc golf to this new market, including sourcing baskets locally rather than shipping from abroad. Timothy, a local entrepreneur, plays a key role in the project's success, and his community is thrilled to have a fun activity to enjoy together. With its unique blend of culture, adventure, and sport, this video offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of disc golf and its potential for making a positive impact on communities around the globe.
Join Paul McBeth & local players on an unforgettable journey as they introduce disc golf to Uganda at its very first official course!
