Pretty Fly Disc Golf
Living and breathing Disc golf
What is your most important goal or dream in life? Mine is to feel good, do something I love and share that with friends and strangers on a daily basis. My answer to this great riddle of life, the meaning of life, is disc golf. Life is short and the little time I have left in it is more important than what have happened earlier in my life. I don´t look back very much anymore. I can´t see the meaning of nostalgia or history. For me, the future is disc golf and you can be a part of this journey too. Welcome to Pretty Fly Disc Golf, an adventure where I will work hard to be a better player, a better tour director, a better ambassador for the sport and spread my love for the sport as far as I possibly can. In 2021 I opened a disc manufacturing business, read more about it here: Momentum Disc Golf

Who is Thor Wallgren?
I was introduced to disc golf on the 18th of July 2014. My friends invited me to a round in Gavle, Sweden. I played horrible, but I liked it. The next day I bought my first golf discs. Only 3 months later I played my first tournament.
The friendly way of the better players inspired me to continue to practice and compete. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. I understood that disc golfers are a special kind of people, both goal oriented and open and kind.
In 2015 I visited Saigon, Vietnam and played with strangers and it was awesome, suddenly I had new friends on the other side of the planet. I went to Thailand and USA 2018 to play competitions and meet new friends. I also began running tournaments 2018, in Sweden. Late 2018 I went to Uruguay to design a course in Montevideo, it is being built now. In 2019 I went to Thailand again and then South Korea for more competition and meet more new friends. My next destination was a small island in Africa, called Sao Tomé in the country Sao Tomé e Principe.
Getting new friends all over the world is really fun and makes me feel that life is really much bigger than me. Disc golf helps me see the world and meet people from all over the world. It makes me grow as a person.
Why Tour Directing?
Disc Golf is a sport and if we don´t play tournaments, we are not playing a sport. Could you imagine football or basketball without matches? How about pole jump or 100 meter dash with out games?
I run tournaments because I think disc golf is about competing, still friendly and like gentlemen, but with the addition to get challenged. It is really fun!
Running tournaments is also getting attention from media and sometimes organizations that want to market their products or services. This is a great way to help disc golf to grow.
Disc golf is about to reach the main stream crowds now. So Pretty Fly Disc Golf will set up more tournaments in the near future. With the help of Momentum Disc Golf I can offer Tour Directors salary for running Pretty Fly tournaments in the season 2022. So, if you want to have a extra income, contact me and we set up a first tournament together, then you can run your own Pretty Fly disc golf tournaments, and make money.
Isn´t it time that Tour Directors get paid for the work they do? Of course it is. I will pay you. :-)
I went to the small country STP in Africa !!!
On October 28 (2019) I left Sweden for a new disc golf adventure in Sao Tomé e Principe, Africa. On this page you can find videos about this trip and the efforts I make to develop something about disc golf in Sao Tomé, the main island of this small and beautiful country.
In november 2021 I went to Ghana and introduced disc golf to the Ultimate community there, link: GHANA ULTIMATE I also returned to Sao Tomé and arranged with a written permission to set up the first disc golf course there.
