Help 2020 USAMPC Champion, Elliot Zettas, give away his 18 Veteran Baskets
After Elliot won the 2020 USAMPC Championship in Emporia, Kansas, he informed Dynamic Discs that he wanted to help grow the sport by giving away the 18 Veteran Baskets he had just won.
Contestants had a little over a month to create a Shark Tank style pitch and then present to Elliot why their disc golf community needs 18 Veteran baskets. After the amazing response and seeing everyone from pastors to cheerleaders to government officials, we want you to pick the winner from Elliot’s top 5 choices.
Here is how you can help Elliot select the winner:

The majority of courses in our area are heavily wooded and can often be discouraging for beginners, casual groups, and families. The few courses that do offer a better experience are often overcrowded, especially during good weather. Our proposal is to create a course that will ensure the land and design is the right fit for beginners and casual players.
Our campus houses 5 group homes for teenagers in the juvenile justice system. When our campus was closed to visitors due to COVID-19, we all needed more ways to unwind without leaving campus. Being able to get outside is healthy for the residents and staff – add in a simple sport (that can be enjoyed solo or in a group) and you’ve got the makings of therapy that can happen outside office walls and set schedules.
It’s 75 miles to the nearest course which only has 5 baskets and 18 tee pads. Sierra County is a poverty-stricken region of New Mexico with few options for exercise and recreation. However, residents from young to old are active and eager for an outdoor activity that is accessible to all. Our weather allows for year-round play. The golf course location is adjacent to Middle and High Schools. We just need disc golf.
Blanchard serves a massive rural community with over 1,400 children ages 5-18. Unfortunately, Blanchard is a one red-light town of just over 3,000 individuals. There is very little to do in the town of Blanchard or the surrounding area, besides school and Church. Most of the adults commute 30 minutes to an hour for work. The closest disc golf course is 30 minutes away.
Our course will be right in the middle of 3 schools and a retirement community. The course will be beginner friendly in hopes to attract students and senior community members to the sport of disc golf. Along with being beginner friendly, we plan on putting in professional tee pads for more advanced players that are looking for a challenge. Our course provides a fun, new course for local disc golf players in the area.
