The Dellwood Staff

Sean and Sheila Callahan

Sean and Sheila are the owners of Dellwood Disc Golf and the most amazing husband and wife team. In September 2014 they built The Canyons disc golf course, which is the same site as the pro shop, along with the Lockport Township Park District and local disc golf legends (Roy Carey, Steve Matul, Steve Schlack, Steve Olson, Jason Poole and Jose Herrera). On April 1, 2017 the Dellwood Disc Golf shop opened its doors to the public (and since then has had two re-builds that have tripled its size). They have built up the local disc golf community in a way where legendary and unordinary cannot even begin to describe what they have built. Simply put, they are the heartbeat to our vibes (LEL 4:11 6/7/2021).

Ryan ‘Big Cat’ Stilson

Ryan has been on Team Dellwood for a few years but joined the shop staff at the end of 2023. Ryan is your guy if you want to talk about Gateway Discs, cats or Hawaiian shirts! Big Cat plays tournaments in the MPO field and will soon teach lessons out of the shop. So, stop by, dig around for discs and say the password “yacht rock” and you might get a high five.

Auston ‘Lil Flip’ Kap

Auston keeps all us junior boomers in the know. When this cool kid is not in the shop or on the course he’s getting his buddies grounded by trespassing or jumping off cliffs into quarries. Lil Flip is your guy if you want to talk Discmania or mumble rappers.
