Sweet! Do you have a link to his profile? I wonder if he has anymore gems like this laying around...

How about a link to his disc golf related videos on youtube? Nothing like the classic posted here, but some other stuff.

I have a few, nothing like the one from 1993.

If my dad can find the tapes, we might have some stuff he shot at the 93 worlds and early 90s dg stuff from the north alabama area.

Great video! Thanks for posting it.

But, let me get this straight. Disc golf was broadcast on a cable sports station back in '93? With multiple cameras, overhead views, great camera work...etc? I know it wasn't live, but still it was on TV, complete with a big name sponsor and everything.

Fast forward almost 20 years and we seem to be nowhere near getting television coverage. What the heck happened?

Wham-O stopped writing checks.

If all the speculation from the last couple weeks/months is true, the pros could be a lot closer to being back on TV than they've been in a long time.

I like how at the 48:30 mark Climo just stands up from his chair and goes right in to his approach.
Great video

Don't know what you're talking about exactly...

But, DG on TV would be niiiiiiice.

Actually Discgolfplanet.tv might be producing four shows that will be shown on regional sports networks next year.

Also Houck calls turnover shots "Roll Curves" I love the old vids.

When Millennium first started, the Midrange was the Aurora. It came in MF, MS, and MR, with the F=Fade, S=Straight, and R=Roll. Not sure if the MR was ever in full production, or just prototypes.

Crazy Announcer "Crazy" John Brooks at the 25:00 mark. Enjoy that hair too.

 

[Tokyo]

It was nearly subliminal and lasted less than a second but it will haunt you until the end of time.
