I don’t even know where to begin…Luv Dubs 2026 was an absolute dream. 😭💖

From the moment we started setting up to the final putt, the entire day was filled with laughter, connection, and that special kind of chaos that somehow only Luv Dubs can create.

🥰 Let’s Start With the People

Because truly… this event is NOTHING without all of you.

Huge shoutout to Kati & Jacob - Team Hollaback Bunch and Matthew & Anna Milliman - Team Sexy and We Throw It, for showing up early to help with course setup — you’re all absolute lifesavers.

And Lisa from Team Chain Reaction… showing up with breakfast AND a giant bag of Sour Twin Snakes?!
This girl knows the way to my heart 💀😂
That bag was so big I was literally sharing sour sugary goodness with players during my round 2 golf cart drive-bys.

And then…

I don’t even have the words for this one…

Matthew Davis of Team Jas-Berg’s Cuddle Party — your tinkering magic made it possible for us to award not just 1st place… but 2nd and 3rd across divisions.
You didn’t just make awards… you made them SHINE.
You are an actual wizard 🧙‍♂️✨

Community Support = Everything

Massive thank you to Ben & Jacob with Another Round Disc Golf for bringing the shop (and the cutest doggos around 🐕‍🦺🐕🐶💕) to the course so players could use their vouchers on-site — over $1200 in prize vouchers went out!!

And to every single person who:
showed up
offered help
rolled with the chaos
or gave us grace when we had to turn you away from your hopeful casual round

I see you. I appreciate you. I love this community so much 💕

Across all divisions.

Seeing teams up there together… smiling, celebrating, taking photos…
Yeah. That was one of my favorite moments of the day 💖

🏆 Congratulations to our Luv Dubs 2026 Podium Winners!!!

💘 The Heart of Luv Dubs

As many of you know… I don’t go many disc golf places without my disc golf besties by my side — and Luv Dubs is no exception.

Charlotte & Patrick…
I don’t even want to imagine a Luv Dubs without you two.

This event takes months of planning. Okay… let’s be honest… I definitely started planning next year’s event in little ways months ago. This event takes the entire year to plan, and it’s always on my mind — and you both are always there:

brainstorming ideas
building wild projects
making last-minute runs
solving chaos before I even notice it

Covensens for life 💖

💕 And One More (Sorry Not Sorry 😭)

Alex… Mr. HuckBuddy…

A million thank yous would never be enough. You make this event possible. Full stop.

Every crazy idea, every build, every “what if we tried this??” moment… you’re there.

As much as you say this is “my” event…
I see you in every part of it.

Luv Dubs wouldn’t be what it is without us as a team, and I can't wait to see what we create for the 10 year Anniversary.
Love you so much HuckBuddy 💘
