“The sport of disc golf has given me the opportunity to change my life and I want to share that same opportunity with as many people as possible.” – Paul McBeth

The foundation’s first course in Uganda found its home at Ndejje University, a location that radiated enthusiasm for embracing the sport. Situated just 25 miles to the north of Uganda’s bustling hub, Kampala, Ndejje University eagerly joined hands with the Paul McBeth Foundation to breathe life into an 18-hole course, spanning over a generous 25+ acres, exclusively reserved for disc golf. This would also include a dedicated crew of maintenance staff diligently tending to the course’s upkeep, ensuring it remains a top-tier disc golf destination.

The Paul McBeth Foundation’s second course, while bearing similarities to previous PMF projects, arose from a partnership with a local youth organization in the village of Katosi. This commendable organization serves as a sanctuary for over 400+ children, providing them with essentials – sustenance, shelter, and education. Now, alongside these vital services, disc golf has become a cherished addition, nestled right outside their schoolhouse on the serene shores of Lake Victoria.

But why Uganda?

A country previously untouched by disc golf, Uganda’s position in the heart of Africa makes it an ideal setting for the Paul McBeth Foundation’s mission to expand the sport’s accessibility. With the passionate support of two dynamic partners, they’re poised to propel these projects forward, sharing the joys of disc golf with a myriad of individuals. Ndejje University, in particular, offers a gateway to connect with numerous African universities outside Uganda, fostering intercollegiate competitions and a plethora of sporting events that will bring the sport to a wider audience.
