“At the bridge’s midpoint, my phone rings at interstate radio volume through the car speakers. I let out a few choice expletives regarding the frightening decibel level. It’s Nate Heinold. He can meet 15 minutes earlier than expected.

Tournament directors aren’t often household names, but Heinold comes close.”

Ultiworld Disc Golf’s Patrick Aubyrn played a round at the newly-redesigned Northwood Park Disc Golf Course with 2019 PDGA Pro Worlds TD Nate Heinold to get the entire story behind the transformation of the property and the expectations for what Heinold hopes is the best Worlds on record.
