Peepeekisis Cree Nation and Disc Golf Saskatchewan will make history at the 18th Annual Saskatchewan Open.
When golfers tee off Aug. 19th, Peepeekisis will become the first Indigenous community in North America to host a Professional Disc Golf Assoc. (PDGA) sanctioned event.
“It just makes me proud that people are willing to come out and play the course,” said Sasquatch Alley course operator Ian McKay.
McKay and his son Gage were introduced to the sport in 2018.
“My wife, my boys, my girls. We all play disc golf,” McKay said.
Their passion for disc golf quickly grew, prompting them to begin building a course in their home community.
