Disc Golf Rocks — For Mental Health, For the Community, For the Greater Good

In January 2019, I made a life-changing decision to live life on the road, traveling the U.S. in my 2010 Ford Transit Connect. Since then, I’ve driven through 21 states, played over 195+ disc golf courses, and found something deeper than just chains and fairways. I found healing, peace, and purpose.

​

Disc golf has been a powerful tool for my mental health. It has given me clarity in tough times, connection in lonely moments, and a steady path through life’s chaos. Whether I’m walking wooded fairways or wide-open fields, this game grounds me. It’s more than a sport. It’s therapy, movement, mindfulness, and joy.

That’s why I started Disc Golf Rocks (DGR) — to use the game I love as a platform to promote mental health awareness and emotional well-being.

​

But DGR doesn’t stop there.

As I travel, I’ve seen how neglected many of our courses have become. Trash piles up, signage wears down, and the spirit of the game suffers. So I take the time to clean up, removing litter, doing basic course maintenance, and brightening courses with hand-painted rocks carrying positive, encouraging messages. These small acts are meant to inspire hope and kindness, reminding players they’re not alone.

​

Your support helps make this mission possible. Donations go toward:

- Gas and vehicle maintenance for continued travel

- Course clean-up supplies

- Materials for painted “positivity rocks”

- Most importantly, keeping the mental health message alive

​

The 2025 Goal:
To clean up, care for, and mentally uplift dozens of disc golf courses across state lines. Spreading awareness, creating conversation, and making spaces that feel better to be in, both physically and emotionally.

​

Whether you're donating, sharing, or simply following along, you're a part of something meaningful. Together, we can grow a movement that sees disc golf not just as a game, but as a healing space for minds and communities alike.

Because Mental Health Matters. Disc Golf Rocks. You Rock!
