Women’s Global Event + Salty Queens #1 💛

This weekend we (Patrick & his amazing team) hosted the 8th edition of Queen of the Hive — Utah’s contribution to the PDGA Women’s Global Event — and honestly… my heart is so full after this one.

Every year this event reminds me why women’s disc golf matters so much to me.

Not just the competition.
Not just the scores.

The community.
The support.
The way women continue to show up for each other over and over again.

And this year especially… that feeling was everywhere.

🌎 What is the Women’s Global Event?

If you’re new here… the PDGA Women’s Global Event (WGE) is a worldwide celebration of women in disc golf 💛

Women all across the globe compete in local events during the same weekend, while also being connected through one giant international event and global leaderboard.

It’s one of the coolest weekends in disc golf because it reminds us that even while we’re playing locally here in Utah… we’re part of something MUCH bigger 🐝🌎

Queen of the Hive VIII also served as the kickoff event for the 2026 Salty Queens Series 💛

🎁 Player Packs & Community Support

One of my favorite parts of women’s only events…. the player pack 💛

Our AM players received:
🐝 A women’s hat with a ponytail opening.. LOVE
🐝 An event stamped disc… even lightweight!
🐝 LMNT Hydration Powder, and Tasty TOO!
🐝 A WGE bag pin…It’s kinda cool to be a part of something so big!!!
🐝 and The CUTEST Team Thunder Puss bee sticker !!!! ( I love my TTP stickers, they’re always sooo adorable!)

And this year, even the pros received the WGE pin, Team Thunder Puss sticker, and LMNT hydration packs too ✨💕

None of this happens without community support.

Huge thank you to:

…for continuing to support women’s disc golf and helping make events like this possible 💛

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

When the community gives, it creates ripples 💛

Because our Ladies Night tags were donated this season (thanks again Guppy 🥏✨), She Throws SLC had extra funds available to help support women at the start of their season.

We were able to give away an entry into Queen of the Hive VIII last week at ladies night, to Brittney Armentrout — who went on to take 2nd place in FPO this weekend 🔥

We had also planned to do a CTP giveaway for a PDGA membership during the event. But when we realized there were only two players without active memberships…

…we decided to skip the CTP and simply give memberships to both:
💛 Kelsie Axtell #328573
💛 McKenna Park #328571

Welcome to the PDGA ladies. 😘

That’s the kind of thing community support makes possible.

Small acts of support turn into opportunities, confidence, and more women getting out to play 🐝✨

🌎 Utah Showing Up on the Global Stage

One of the coolest parts of the Women’s Global Event is getting to see local players stack up against women from all over the world.

And Team Utah absolutely had some things to celebrate 💛

✨ Katie Tews currently sits 35th out of 178 players in FPO
✨ Charlotte Christensen is currently 15th out of 61 competitors in FP40
✨ Hannah Dooley landed 21st out of 186 in FA1

Seeing Utah women represented across global leaderboards is such a cool reminder that the women in our local community are out here doing amazing things 🐝✨

But the coolest part?

These standings are still changing.

There are additional Women’s Global Event weekends happening next week, meaning players around the world still have more opportunities to compete and shift the rankings. Players can even compete during BOTH weekends and appear in the rankings twice 👀
