SUMMARY:

 

Matthew Brazil passed away in February of 2020.  Matthew was instrumental in growing the Disc Golf sport locally over the last 10 years.  His passion for the sport is indescribable and the Hitzman-Optimist Park Disc Golf Course was one of his favorites.

 

While the US Disc Golf Foundation has been accepting charitable donations in Matthew’s name since his passing, this is a way to honor him locally, remembering his infectious laughter, bright smile as well as the way he inspired, encouraged and challenged players of all ages to elevate local Disc Golf.

 

Family and friends will pay for the plaque to be placed at Hole Number One.
