2018 PDGA Jr World Championships • Thursday Night Recap from the Emporia Zoo

The 2018 PDGA Jr World Championships presented by Dynamic Discs take center stage in Emporia Zoo, where Thursday afternoon action has transitioned to a fun-filled zoo experience for all participants. The event showcases more than just golf, highlighting the dynamic discs' commitment to creating engaging experiences for players and spectators alike. Jason and Michael share their inspiring story of how they became involved in the sport, including Jason's win of a six-grant contest through Eagle's Wings, a great organization that supports kids worldwide. This chance encounter with Eagle's Wings was a turning point in their journey to compete at the PDGA Jr World Championships. With a special thank you to Eagles Wings and Terry, the Scout guy, the duo is having an unforgettable time in Emporia, where they enjoy the zoo's attractions and warm hospitality amidst a temperature drop from 103 degrees.
