It’s one thing to have a love for disc golf and play during every spare moment of the day, but it’s quite another to invest blood, sweat, tears, and a ton of money into a disc golf retail business. While you might have a major sporting goods store in your area that carries a small selection of discs, a dedicated disc golf store is entirely another beast.
Since the disc golf community is like one big family, it only makes sense that you’d want to support the retailer that’s closest to you. How you can do that often goes beyond just buying a disc here or there, as we’re about to discover.
The Basics
One of the hardest things to do as a disc golfer is knowing which disc mold or plastic type you’ll like. If you’re lucky, you might be able to head to your local disc golf shop to see what fits your hand and if the staff have any recommendations. If there aren’t any disc golf shops in your area, you can still play a part in creating one! Reach out to your local major sporting stores and ask them if they carry disc golf equipment.
Don’t be afraid to take your friends with you either, whether they disc golf or not. The success of a small business often comes from word of mouth, so a great customer service experience will probably go a long way in your book even if you aren’t super obsessed with the sport.
Communication Is Key
One of the best ways to help support a local disc golf store near you is to help them help you. They can only guess which discs, bags, and apparel might be most appealing to the local community and if there’s something you want to see don’t be afraid to tell them!
In the end, the impact you can make in your community by supporting your local disc golf shop is greater than you might realise.
