Heart goes out to Paul Mcbeth. Dude is such a great champion. No shame in 2nd place today. If we know anything about Paul, it’s that he’ll stay hungry and be back contending next year.

I wasn’t able to consume any of the DGPT All Stars coverage yesterday, but am seeing a lot of hate and negativity regarding the coverage. My thoughts? Let’s throw more frisbees and less shade.
Here's the backstory on Jeremy Koling's recent anti-racist gesture on Jomez. If you think the conversation on race and disc golf should continue, please RT.

We're looking at disc golf one year removed from its massive boom, and we've got good news:
It's still powered by rocket fuel. 🚀
More courses, more rounds, more enthusiasm – check it all out in our 2022 Disc Golf Growth Report!
First time at The Memorial I watched Feldberg, during practice, park hole 2 at Vista with 5 dif styles shots. Huge eye opener for me, who as a rookie, could hardly park that hole with one style of shot. Not one of his shots was a forehand. Dude was a straight up backhand master.
Even after all these years, I still honestly believe that I’m going to find “the answer” whenever I’m practice putting. I’ve had fleeting glimpses of the answer, so I know it’s out there. It’s simple and should be easy to remember, but just seems to eventually escape every time.
As disc golf grows and marches towards mainstream, it’s important that we don’t lose too much of the spirit of the game. It’s bound to happen to a certain extent, but it doesn’t have to. Do your part to keep the spirit alive. Play fair, be kind and have fun.

Waco has me saying wow over and over. From Kona just straight dominating FPO to local hero Gavin Rathbun holding his own and then the whole Nikko/Cale battle. What a weekend for the

This is so on brand for Brodie. Guy loves to pop off without really knowing what he’s talking about. Engagement over everything, truth and facts be damned.
What an impressive young man Gannon Buhr is. Not only does he have a great come from behind win today, he caps it off with an incredibly well spoken interview from the winner’s circle.
Talk about a flex!

I hit the road after the semis at the 2014 Worlds and missed watching the Paul v Rick playoff in person. And now, after attending Worlds (for work) this year, I flew home Friday and missed witnessing Conrad v Mcbeth.
While I was in Michigan I bought a few discs. Got back home to find my town had just installed a disc golf course. I soon played my first ever round of disc golf.
That was 20 years ago this July.
Pretty amazing how quickly the

has evolved in the Jeff Spring era. Everyone has benefited, from players to fans and really the sport as a whole.
Maybe it’s just me, but it bothers me hearing Brian Earhart promote/talk Discraft product during the
@DiscGolfProTour
press conferences/broadcasts. When he’s got the DGN microphone in one hand, he shouldn’t be waving the Discraft flag in the other.
Elevated basket problems.
Nice birdie from No. 1 Pellissippi State.

Did I say on the live broadcast that Matty O has 288 career PDGA wins? Possibly, but who cares. For the record, it looks like Stafford was his 69th PDGA W. Either way he’s a damn legend!
I don’t have all the answers, but I do know that we’re all human. Let’s give ourselves some grace when we need and let’s have conversations without hateful rhetoric.

I’m not gonna pile on Nikko. Based on the footage, it certainly appears he crossed the line. Aside from the bots, we are all human here. We all have moments good and bad, and in cases of Nikko and other professional athletes, their moments are on film for the world to see.

Eagle McMahon, after losing to Kyle Klein in Colorado earlier this season by 1, successfully pays him back today by winning by 1 in Klein’s home state of Michigan at the

Played with Albert Tamm at the Portland Open. Incredibly nice person, respectful competitor and the dude is huge! Unfortunately no bazooka sightings during our round. Looking forward to watching his progression this season.

National Tour I played in was 2008 Memorial. During a round at Fountain Hills, I threw 7 discs in the water, including 3 on hole 1.
I don’t know if the range finder person was a volunteer or is on staff. Don’t really care. I like knowing the distances and realize that something like this can happen. Shit happens.
