This video comes from the Umphrey’s McGee’s sUMmer school at Full Moon Resort in Big Indian, NY on August 6-10. The Big Idea for the Umphrey’s McGee-centric Mobile Disc Golf Experience at sUMmer school was to not only provide a recreational outlet for patrons and artists alike, but a platform to jump deeper into the depths of the Umphrey’s McGee song catalog.
The 6 hole disc golf course, with a variety of vantage points and shot selections ran one common theme — everything Umphrey’s McGee! Each hole, complete with signage depicting the intended flight path, par, length and elevation was named after an Umphrey’s McGee song. Below the hole signage was informational signage that was a series of quotes by band members that gave some insight into the song. While each explanation was different — song naming, lyrics, key signature, creative process — the goal was to provide a sneak peek into the creative process of the band’s song making and composition. Wayfinding signage was also present throughout the course, moving users from hole to hole where they would find Umphrey’s Facts along the way — explaining and providing a more “behind the scenes” look into the world of the band. Umphrey’s Fact ranged in topics, from song statistics and numbers of employees to re-worked songs and their passion for disc golf.
Our Mobile Disc Golf Experience helps make the sport more accessible to the general public through temporary course setups and free disc rentals at music festivals and other events. Our practice basket at the booth enables patrons to familiarize themselves with the sport, while the 3-6 hole courses provide the opportunity to try the sport out for yourself! Our vending booth offers a slew of Innova discs and literature in addition to Explore Disc Golf’s apparel line. Look for us at several more music festivals this summer, and contact us at info@explorediscgolf.com to bring disc golf to your next event!
