Disc Golf in the News

Neat but ugh... Hate it when we get some coverage like that and they don't show any real flights.
It's great what Zoe (and Dustin) are doing with this. Good stuff. :thmbup:
I have a question, though. The headline on that article says:
"World champion duo builds local disc golf community safely during pandemic".
I checked both of their records on the PDGA site and I didn't see any sort of World championship for either one. Dustin has a nice number of career wins, 13, all B or C tier. Zoe has an even more impressive 32 career wins, including a couple A tiers and multiple State championships.
So is that headline just the media taking some artistic liberty with their article or what?
Steroiding your resume seems to be all the rage nowadays. Thanks a lot, ______ _____.
I don't have any idea...
But they could be World Champions in other things besides MPO & FPO. There are world putting champions, doubles champions, disc mini champions, distance champions, etc...
Plus, I doubt they had any input into the headline.

Tweet these personalities about the DDO, get disc golf on CBS Sports Network talking head shows leading up to DDO:

Please consider tweeting these folk, or messaging them on their instagram, or posting on their Facebook Pages.... Whatever you can. The DGLO Final Round coverage is fantastic and can be used to share an example of what JomezPro (and CCDG) are going to bring to CBS Sports Network. We should be pushing this to give these guys as many excuses in the coming weeks to talk DG as possible.

In the article...
"Last year I was named the 2019 Professional Disc Golf Association Educator of the Year and the fact that I started a nonprofit that was completely dedicated towards teaching and growing the game on a youth and women's level, I would say that that's my World Championship right there," AnDyke said.
Because after 15 years and multiple world championships, Zoe knows what the sport can do for others.

Oak Grove in Pasadena closed again to disc golf due to a unsanctioned tournament that was held unbeknownst to the city.

OMG WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS???
Even before the pandemic I would get folks asking on how to run a tourney (not that I am an expert by any stretch) and first thing I always always always always tell them is to ask first. You never know what the property owner may require for insurance (among other things) in an organized event setting. Totally boneheaded and selfish move. smh

Has some Vast Imbecility,
Mighty to build and blend,
But impotent to tend,
Framed us in jest, and left us now to hazardry?

Okay, so I didn't capitalize the "n" in 'news"...
Found a different DG in the News and posted this...
Yes I am from WI
Yes the doughnuts from Grebe's are that good.

This warms my heart.

And this isn't disc golf. This is what we did in high school 35 years ago when we used our Ultimate discs and the first hole was the flagpole in front of the post office --- in the next little neighborhood about 20 blocks away.
Ohhh.....I think this is VERY much disc golf. At it's purest, striped down. It is the roots of our modern game. It is the game that Steady Ed took and developed. It is what a Frisbee what designed and made for. Any story I hear of anyone going outside and using their imagination to find and engage in play, makes me a little happy inside.
