No chaos. No disasters. No questionable decisions. Just Pete, a disc, and a peaceful moment beneath the summer sun.

At least that's the plan.

Because if we've learned anything this season...Pinecone Pete's version of "peaceful" usually doesn't stay peaceful for very long. 😅

In the very first year of the A'Dorr'able Dogs Dubz, our local disc golf community came together to raise over $1,000 to support the incredible work of Pet Tales Rescue!

Events like this are a reminder that disc golf is about more than birdies and aces. It's about community. It's about showing up for our neighbors. And it's about using the game we love to make a real difference right here in West Michigan.

To every player who registered, donated, spread the word, or simply showed up to support the cause.....THANK YOU! Because of you, local animals in need will receive care, shelter, and a better chance at finding their forever homes.

But the work doesn't stop when the last putt drops.

If you'd like to continue supporting Pet Tales Rescue or consider adopting a new disc golf buddy, please check out their website here: https://www.pettalesrescue.com

When it comes to tackling tighter fairways, there is one disc that Calvin Heimburg reaches for more than any other and that is the Innova Eagle.

The Eagle is Innova's original professional-level fairway driver, offering a reliable flight at higher arm speeds and plenty of shot variation. This Calvin-tweaked eagle is flatter, stiffer, and more overstable. Just how Vinny likes ‘em.

Get yours today before they are gone!
