Sylvia Voakes
is legendary proof that disc golf is a sport for
all ages. During a span of two decades, she has amassed 57 PDGA titles.
She has taken six world singles titles, one by a record-setting margin of 114 throws.
Sylvia is the first woman to win a PDGA tournament competing against
the men of her own age division. She has been a continuing presence on the Pro Tour
while balancing an active family life. She won the Player of the Year
in 1993 and accepted the Jim Olsen Sr. Award in 1995. Sylvia is a consistent
representative of disc golf spirit. Sylvia's local club has bestowed
her with awards for promotion and volunteerism. Her organizational skills are a driving
force for prestigious Bowling Green tournaments. She is the PDGA State
of Kentucky Coordinator. Sylvia's positive attitude on the course sets an example
for us all, teaching the value of letting a bad shot become history,
and moving to the next with a fresh perspective. Her smile is a loving reminder that there is indeed a "Frisbee Family."
