Who We Are

We exist to provide entertainment, community, and light in a family friendly way to anyone who needs it.

Foundation Disc Golf strives to encourage the passion of new disc golf players and maintain the excitement of existing players through producing new, exciting content on our media outlets, providing the latest in disc golf products on our website, and creating a one-of-a-kind in person experience in our retail stores. By doing so, Foundation strives to create a community of inclusive supporters that trust Foundation to be their sole provider of all things disc golf. 


 

Our Core Values

Integrity

We believe in the hard right over the easy wrong. We hold ourselves to a high standard at all times, even when nobody else will notice.

Purpose

Our value and drive is rooted in more than what we create and the work that we do. Colossians 3:23 "And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,"

Ownership

We believe in taking ownership of our tasks and actions and refuse to shift blame on others when things do not go our way. We take pride in and responsibility for our work.

Family

We prioritize our team members inside these walls and their families outside of these walls. People will always come before profits.

Passion

We believe in the impact we can make and bring a contagious enthusiasm as we chase down our goals.

How We Started

Foundation Disc Golf began in 2019 with a simple dream: build an online presence through our YouTube channel and website that could one day grow into a local disc golf store in Lynchburg, VA. What started small quickly grew beyond what we imagined. In 2020, when Brodie Smith joined the company, we realized we had the chance to impact the sport on a much larger scale. That moment sparked the creation of our community, “Foundation Nation,” and shifted our focus toward using media to share the game we love—creating the type of content and coverage we always wanted as players, while also engaging new audiences to help grow the sport’s reach. Today, our mantra is simple: at Foundation Disc Golf, we provide players with everything they need to build their game. And while our goals have expanded, we’ve also achieved our very first dream—you can visit our store in Forest, VA, and see how that small idea became a reality.
