Oklahoma Disc Golf Hall of Fame honors career of 362 events, 89 wins
Ron Convers turned 362 events and 89 wins into a Hall of Fame case, but his bigger impact is the Oklahoma disc golf scene he helped sustain for decades.
Ron Convers did not build a Hall of Fame résumé on one hot weekend. He built it over four decades, one event at a time, and Oklahoma is honoring the kind of career that outlasts scorecards. The Blackwell, Oklahoma, veteran enters the Oklahoma Disc Golf Hall of Fame with 362 career events and 89 wins in the Dynamic Discs feature, a line that tells only part of the story.
Convers first started competing in 1992, pulled into disc golf by social connection, a group of competitive friends, one of the earliest courses in the United States, and a Frisbee he traces back to his grandfather, John Convers. That origin matters because it explains why this honor reaches beyond trophies. The Hall of Fame is built to recognize top competitors, but also the people who shape the sport’s culture, and Convers fits both lanes. He is the kind of player whose name keeps showing up in Oklahoma disc golf because he stayed in the game long enough to become part of its infrastructure.
That is the real value of the induction. Oklahoma’s Hall of Fame is not just preserving a list of winners, it is preserving the people who made the state’s disc golf scene durable enough to matter generation after generation. The archive already shows classes from 1996 and 2015, proof that the state has been formally documenting its history for years. Convers now joins that record as a living example of how a player can influence a scene through longevity, results, and presence.
And he is still playing. PDGA records list Convers as an active professional member from Blackwell, Oklahoma, and show his totals continuing to move upward. One current profile lists 363 career events and 90 wins, another shows 367 events and 92 wins, with career earnings above $138,000 on current pages. His 2026 results include a win at the Ponca City Open supported by Innova and a second-place finish at Bois D’arc Woods Toss, which is exactly why this Hall of Fame moment lands with extra weight: this is not a retirement tribute, it is recognition of a career that is still adding chapters.
Convers’s induction says something blunt about disc golf in Oklahoma. The sport’s history is not just in marquee championships or big-arm highlights. It is in the players who show up for years, keep winning, keep mentoring, and keep the local calendar alive. Ron Convers has done all three, and the Hall of Fame is catching up to that fact.
