KJones Goes Big

Kevin Jones dominated the responses for the top moment of 2020... from a knee.

During a skins match filmed by GK Pro at Maple Hill, Jones slipped on the tee pad only to watch from the ground as his disc slammed the 530-foot 16th.

"Kevin Jones. From hitting that ridiculous (and painful) ace to winning the DGPT, I think it's fair to say the best Disc Golf moment of 2020 was KJ himself." — Kenton B. / Facebook

>>> Honorable mention for another out-of-this-world ace

Jones was all over the replies from this mind-blowing ace to winning the 2020 Disc Golf Pro Tour Championship.

But he wasn't the top response from Hornet's Nest...

"The moment that a 19 year old calmly hit a tester putt to beat the best woman in the world and win the Tour Championship, on ESPN, in front of a generation of future players." — John N. / Facebook

Disc Golf Gets the TV Treatment

Disc golf returned in 2020 post shutdown with unprecedented coverage as the Dynamic Discs Open sparked the return to action after a near three-month hiatus due to COVID-19. It was all documented in post-produced coverage on CBSSN.

But that was just the start for disc golf on network television.

The 2020 DGPT Championship would air later in the year on ESPN2 and was on top of the daily ratings for the channel.

"The growth of coverage and increased audience during 2020... what ended up being a shortened season resulted in our sport showing historic growth!" — Tony S. / Facebook

"By far the epic nail biting comeback from Hailey King at the Pro Tour Finale to push into a sudden death playoff. You can’t possibly have better coverage that kept you at the edge of your seat." — Brant W. / Facebook

"National prime time TV coverage of the DGPT Championship and the massive growth of the sport this year. Never seen so many people on the course. Disc golf is no longer an underground sport! " — Kevin B. / Facebook

There were so many that simply said discovering or re-discovering the game this year.

"Actually discovering disc golf." — @whipper757 / Twitter

There were so many bright moments that prevailed in a trying year and, with light at the end of the tunnel, 2021 is looking to be another solid year in disc golf.
