In the wake of the terrible weather related tragedy that occurred earlier this year in Moore Oklahoma, the PDGA would like to offer our most sincere condolences to any and all affected by this historic deadly storm.

The Little River Disc Golf Course was in the direct path of the tornado and suffered catastrophic damage as a result. The businesses and homes that surrounded the park are gone as well. We are all sure there is much work to do in the months ahead as the citizens of Moore rebuilds following this tragic event.

The PDGA is pleased to announce, as part of a joint effort with Innova Disc Golf and Team Twisted Flyer, that we are pledging our support to help rebuild the disc golf course in Moore. “It is important that the citizens of Moore, Oklahoma have a place where they can recreate as they go through this long rebuilding and healing process. Disc golf will provide them with this outlet and we are pleased to help them in any way that we can”, stated PDGA Executive Director, Brian Graham.

"I know the people of Moore will face many challenges from this event. When the time is right to replace Little River DGC, Innova will be ready to help" said Harold Duvall. Joe Rotan of Twisted Flyer, who is leading the disc golf support effort added, “With everyone worrying about bigger issues right now, I don’t want them to have to worry about replacing the course. I want them to know there is an army of support behind them."

PDGA members and disc golfers wishing to lend their personal support should sign the petition to rebuild the course.
