An Inside Look Into All Things PDGA With Danny Voss Jul 13, 2023

One thing most disc golfers seem to always talk about is the PDGA. Being that they are the over seeing organization that started the sport way back with the founding member Steady Ed Hedrick, the PDGA is a very important component in how our sport got to where it is today. We wanted to get an inside look into all things PDGA to help educate the players on what they do, how they are organized, and many other topics pertaining to competitive and recreational disc golf at large.

Danny Voss, who is the head of marketing for the PDGA came on the show to help answer all the burning questions we all have about the organization and did an amazing job helping to shed some light on what they do to help not only facilitate the competitive side of the sport but also to continue the exponential growth of our sport.

Collegiate Disc Golf with John Baker May 11, 2023

It seems we are always talking about the pro tour when discussing disc golf these days, but did you know there was a collegiate side to the sport? We wanted to dig into the topic and learn as much as possible from the man who runs the show and who is behind the big dance of the sport, the college disc golf national championships hosted at North Cove Leisure Club and Disc Golf Course in Marion, NC, John Baker. John has an amazing story and ties to the collegiate side of the sport through his days as a student athlete at Augusta University.

Thomas Gilbert Is Bringing His Whole Self To Disc Golf Feb 17, 2022

Being accepted as someone who identifies as gay can be hard. Even with the rise in awareness for the rights of people who identify under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella, additional progress is still very much needed to help educate and promote positive changes to provide better representation for this community.
