US Women's Disc Golf Championship

Q & A Time with Tournament Director Jennifer Knisley

The 22nd US Women's Disc Golf Championship will be held on May 21-23, 2021. Placer Valley Tourism had the honor of speaking with this year's tournament director, Jenny Knisley.

Q: How did you get started in Disc Golf?

A: I was initially introduced to Disc Golf through my husband who was really into it. As someone who loves running events, I became increasingly involved with disc golf through organizing the disc golf events.

I remember when I used to mention disc golf to people back in the day, they had no idea what I was talking about. Now the sport has gained a lot of interest and much more people are familiar with disc golf. Last year, COVID actually helped boost interest in disc golf, since it is a fun activity people of all ages can enjoy outdoors.

Q: As the Tournament Director, can you tell us what your role entails?

A: It’s everything. I oversee the overall management of the event from getting a bid, to getting the courses, sign-ups, and the opening ceremony…all kinds. However, I could not do it all by myself and have lots of volunteers to thank.
