Then I looked for Gary Wolfe on PDGA and he isn't an active member any longer.
Anybody know the story on that?

Don't know if there is a story, but I saw him at Indian Creek DGC just a few weeks ago.

Was he sad that he's not the prodigy anymore?

I was just wondering if he was still around, still played, still alive. Honestly, I have no idea. Didn't even know who he was until yesterday.

Wait did someone say Feldberg left Oregon for Alabama?

A different state that starts and ends with A. Think, why would this guy know that?

Uh... Alaska? How many courses do they have up there?

I think he is talking about Arizona

 

[burdphil]

I think he is talking about Arizona

Oooohhhhhh. My next guess was gonna be Africa.

 

[dehaas]

I was gonna guess Atlanta, or maybe Antarctica?

I like the idea of a real big disc. Over the years I've thrown Jaguars, The Lynx and a Condor. All have been great discs. Compare those to a Whippet and they're much bigger.

One of my best mates has a Condor and when he puts it in his bag he'll sometimes spend minutes looking for a disc when it gets hidden inside the Condor and the side of the bag. It's hilarious-sized.

That's actually really funny.

Jeremy Koling left Discraft probably for prodigy.

Jeremy Koling just jumped on the ship too.
From his facebook page.

For the past 5 years with Discraft I have appreciated and relied on their support. I'll never forget my first family in disc golf. That being said, beginning 2013, I will embark on a new disc golf journey. I don't know the best way to do this so I think I'll list a few of the big events that have led me to where I am today:
In May '06, I played my very first round of disc golf, the sport that has since consumed my entire life.
In October '07, while spectating the USDGC as an amateur who had never won a PDGC event at any level, Kirk Yoo approached me and asked me if I was interested in throwing for team Discraft. Without hesistation I say "OF COURSE!"
In February '08 I was officially a proud member of the team. They sensed my excitement for the game and did something that most companies rarely do and signed on an unproved amateur. The following summer in Kalamazoo, I won AM worlds and was ready to begin my pro career.
Since then I have won Pro Rookie of the Year ('09), won 40 pro tournaments and traveled the country (and even overseas) pursuing disc golf, the thing I love most, all as a member of team Discraft. There is no way to put into words how much I appreciate their support through these past 5 years. I had never imagined a situation where they wouldn't be by my side in my pursuit of this amazing game.
Very recently something unique and exciting has come up. An opportunity too great to pass on. I would like to thank Discraft for all that they have done for me but it is now time for me pursure a new venture and to go in a different direction. 2013 proves to be an exciting season and I CANNOT wait see what the future holds for both me and this amazing sport!

what the hell company has the money to take all the top 10 players?!?!

 

[inscho]

Just as I thought things were dying down before the holidays......

who's next??

 

[smyith]

I am more and more intrigued that more and more pros are leaving . . . supposedly for the same company. If they take on a bunch of the top players in the game and are a young company, I wonder how sustainable is their business model. Are they going to be a non-profit and act somewhat like a players union? Or are they doing this to make money and partner with the young pros to help them accomplish the same thing for themselves?

I am not being a doubting thomas or a negative nancy . . . but I am by my nature inquisitive. Obviously I am basing my own comments on speculation . . . and will reserve the right to adjust my comments and observations based on fact when it is announced what the grand plan is.

I can't wait to hear the supposed news on January 1st . . . or whenever it happens.
