About:

The Big East Tour Association (BETA) emerged as a response to the growing enthusiasm for deaf disc golf in the northeastern United States, particularly within the Big East region of 22 States.

Founded by a passionate group of deaf disc golf enthusiasts and players, BETA sought to create a cohesive deaf community that would not only promote the sport but also enhance the competitive landscape for players of all skill levels.

The inception of BETA can be traced back to the realization that local deaf disc golf tournaments, while enjoyable, often lacked the organization and structure necessary to elevate the player experience. The founders recognized a need for a unified tour that would provide consistent events, standardized rules, and a platform for deaf players to showcase their talents across various courses.

This vision culminated in the establishment of the Big East Tour, which aimed to connect players, clubs, and sponsors under one umbrella.  The primary goal of BETA is to foster a supportive environment for deaf disc golf while promoting friendly competition. By organizing a series of tournaments throughout the east coast region, the association encourages players to compete against one another, build camaraderie, and develop their skills.

Additionally, BETA seeks to support local deaf disc golf clubs by providing them with resources and a framework to host events, ensuring that the sport continues to grow and thrive.  Ultimately, the Big East Tour Association began as a grassroots movement fueled by a shared love for deaf disc golf and the desire to create a vibrant deaf community.

By bringing deaf players together and providing opportunities for competition, BETA has become a significant force in promoting the sport in the Big East Tour Association region, helping to nurture talent and elevate the overall disc golf experience.
