NATCHEZ – Natchez Disc Golf, in partnership with Visit Natchez, the National Amateur Disc Golf Tour (NADGT), The Educational Disc Golf Experience (EDGE), Natchez Adams Community Alliance, and Natchez Parks and Recreation, successfully hosted the 2025 NADGT Auburn Classic Presented by Visit Natchez – a PDGA-sanctioned XC-tier charity event that directed 100% of net proceeds toward expanding disc golf access for the entire community.
Held on Nov. 29 at the scenic Duncan Park Disc Golf Course, this CEP Charity-Rated tournament raised $2,600 for the local EDGE program to support:
• Installing two permanent 9-hole disc golf courses at North Natchez Park and Copiah-Lincoln Community College – Natchez Campus
• Launching and sustaining youth disc golf programs, including school partnerships, after-school leagues, equipment libraries, and instructional clinics through EDGE
Every registration fee, sponsorship contribution, and on-site donation directly supported both new course construction and the development of free or low-cost programming designed to introduce hundreds of local kids and teens to the lifelong benefits of disc golf.
