mission of Limber lift
To prop up individuals in our Calgary and surrounding area disc golf community. To see them succeed in personal growth and in growing the sport.
Details
- Individuals selected will be known as Pinecones!
- Limber Lift will be on an annual cycle. Each selected 'Pinecone' will be nominating 3 individuals who they feel, may fill their slot best at the end of the year.
- In partnership with Wild + Pine, Limber will be seeding and planting a Limber tree for every birdie made by a 'Pinecone' in tournament play for the year!
- These players will also be helping the community in Calgary in many different ways! From voulenteering at tournaments to running workshops. Grow the sport!
- These players are not selected to win tournaments but to be great ambassadors for the sport and the community.
2023 Limber Pincones
Jackson Pease - Well known in the community and already runs one of the most sucessful weekly leagues in the city (Glow Doubles Friday at Baker!) with a focus on inclusivness, charity, and growing the sport in Calgary. One of the up and comers in Calgary and we quote "one of the furthest throwers in the city, if not the province"! We lookforward to you being a Pinecone this year!

Thanks for being a part of Limber Lift.

Super stoked to have CJ on the Limber Lift this year!

Involved with the CDGC Women's League. She really enjoys playing ourdoors and brings a real wold mother's perspective to the disc golf community. Yay Cayley!
