2025 Josh Franklin Memorial Disc Golf Tournament
Honoring Legacy, Inspiring the Future
Each fall, the disc golf community gathers at Chehaw Park in Albany, Georgia, not just for competition—but for something much deeper. The Josh Franklin Memorial Tournament is more than a tournament. It is a tribute. A legacy. A celebration of a life that continues to impact others through the sport Josh loved.
Joshua Franklin was an avid disc golfer, a beloved friend, and a positive force in the Albany area disc golf scene. His life was tragically cut short, but his memory lives on in every throw, every fairway, and every gathering at the course that now proudly bears his name. What began as a heartfelt effort by Josh’s family and friends to honor his memory has grown into one of Southwest Georgia’s most cherished disc golf traditions.
Now in its 14th year, the 2025 tournament continues to reflect the values that defined Josh’s life—community, passion, and a commitment to making the game better for those who follow. His family has been instrumental in using this event to raise awareness, fund course improvements, and bring people together through the spirit of friendly competition.
This year’s event stays true to those roots while pushing the standard forward. With a well-maintained 20-hole layout, competitive Pro and Amateur divisions, and a welcoming atmosphere, we’re proud to host players from across Georgia and the Southeast. Our goal remains the same: to deliver a high-quality tournament experience while preserving the memory of a young man who made a lasting impression on everyone he met.
As we step onto the course this weekend, we remember that we are not just playing for scores—we are playing for legacy. We are continuing what Josh started. With every disc thrown, every good shot celebrated, and every new player welcomed, we carry forward a tradition of love, resilience, and the pure joy of the game.
Welcome to the 2025 Josh Franklin Memorial. Let’s play in his honor—and continue to grow the sport he helped shape. Each player will receive a Josh Franklin T-Shirt, Premium Innova Disc Golf Players pack, and other goodies :)
