This episode begins with a slice of the early action from the final round of the 2010 USDGC. Nate Sexton’s ace on the seventh is just one of many highlights. Next, the Player’s Cup takes center stage as Billy Crump and Liz Carr make the call from this match-play event. Then it’s back to Rock Hill, SC and the Winthrop Gold course for the conclusion of the USDGC. Rounding things out is multiple Emmy Award winning producer Derek Hastings’ take on the Vibram Open.

This episode kicks off with action from the first round of the 2010 USDGC, as the history and future of the event are discussed and players tackle the starting hole. We then visit a re-purposed ball golf course in Florida called Pine Oaks as Billy Crump and Nate Doss make the call in a Clash doubles event. We head back to Winthrop Gold for second round action at the USDGC, as players negotiate the watery fifth and sixth holes. To round things out, we head up to Massachusetts as Steve Dodge brings us up to speed on the action at last year’s Vibram Open.

We call this show “It’s a Wrap” since the episode concludes coverage from several events we’ve featured recently: South Carolina plays host to final round play at the President’s Cup, Michigan is the setting for the US Amateur National Championship, and Helsinki, Finland, is the locale for final round play at the Tali Open. And a couple of long-standing supporters pitch in, as well: From the Clash DVD Series, we get some action from the Collegiate Championships, while Steve Dodge kicks in a couple of musical selections from the 2010 Vibram Open DVD.

Our 39th episode kicks off with our own coverage of the 2010 Presidents Cup, an international affair featuring a team of European players gunning to upset an American dream team. We also swing over to Oregon to take in some scenes from Portland's Rose City Open, courtesy of Steve Yang. The Guardians of Recreation chip in with their latest offering, which addresses the Zen of disc golf. And finally, we visit far away Finland for a bit of the action from the Tali Open, created by Juha Alkkiomaki and the Scandinavian Video Mafia.

The stories in our 38th episode range from top tournaments to far-away grassroots efforts at growing our game. On the Am side, we’ve got a couple pieces from the 2010 U.S. Amateur Championship on Michigan’s Toboggan course. From the Pro side, we’ve got action from the just-completed 2010 U.S. Championship, from South Carolina, highlighted by a final-round Ace. From the folks at the ClashDVD Series, we’ve got action from Blue Ribbon Pines DGC in Minnesota, where four great players square off in a doubles match.

We’re calling our 37th episode “As Seen on TV” as we take a look back at some tales from a few years ago. The show kicks off with a tutorial from North Carolina’s Brian Schweberger on throwing the overhand thumber. Next, the ’07 Great Lakes Open takes center stage as we follow final round action on the fabled Toboggan course. Finally, a couple of our stories from the ’07 United States Disc Golf Championship round out the episode.
