Five festival days, Europe's only PDGA Major and 14 305 visits to the Tallinn Song Festival Grounds. In June, Tallinn was the centre of the disc golf world. The world's best players battled it out on the famous slopes, fans lined the fairways and music took over the stage in the evenings.
Let's look back at an unforgettable week. Here's the aftermovie, the biggest moments and a look at what's next for the festival.
