As the sport of disc golf has exploded over the last 2 years, due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, the need for more courses has become more of necessity for the sport now than ever before. Jussi Meresmaa, Owner of Discmania & Disc Golf Park, saw the opportunity to help bring more courses to the world of disc golf back in 2005 and has since then developed a turn-key solution to course design that has brought over 600+ courses around the world in 17 years!

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

Show notes

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. So when Thomas Gilbert decided to come out to the disc golf world this winter, we felt it was a perfect time to have him on the show and share his story. We are so proud of Thomas for being brave enough to share his experience and shed light on a topic that is so important not for just the sport but for society at large.

Spoiler Alert: Producing live disc golf coverage is HARD…but you can help! Feb 10, 2022

Show notes

When the DGPT merged with the PDGA we knew that meant big changes for the professional disc golf scene. We wanted to bring two of the top dogs at the DGPT, Sam Gaddes & Brian Cole, onto the show to share their knowledge and experiences working with the new official pro tour of the PDGA and what that means for the professional scene. This episode covers it all from what spectators can expect from the tour in 2022 and beyond, how the tour plans to better accommodate touring pros, and some insight about what goes on behind the scenes when trying to create a live broadcast of a pro tour event. We can't thank Sam and Brian enough for coming on the show!
