In my time, the celebration was marked by bountiful feasts and heartfelt togetherness.

This disc golf tournament took place in Idaho's beautiful Sandy Point State Park, a division of Lucky Peak State Park near Boise, Idaho. It was part of a larger global event put on by the Professional Disc Golf Association which allowed women disc golf players to compete and connect with each other across the globe. Men were also welcome to compete.
