Episode 36 features the 2009 United States Disc Golf Championship, from Rock Hill, SC. We’ve got three tales from the demanding Winthrop Gold course, starting with a look at how players are tackling the ever-evolving fourth hole. We follow that up with an early round summary, and finish with a look at the final round, including coverage of the top cards on some pivotal holes. And for those of us who miss the fairway now and then, we check in with Mike Randolph as he offers up a few techniques for helping folks get out of trouble.

The 35th episode of Disc Golf Live video magazine starts out in Southeastern Michigan as regional and national touring players vie for the title at the Great Lakes Open. Our focus then shifts to the national tour and the twin cities area as we take in the Final Nine at the Minnesota Majestic, as well as some old-school freestyle action, both pieces courtesy of Chuck Kennedy. Finally, we trek to South Carolina to view the all-birdies Honor Roll from the international field at the United States Disc Golf Championship.

We titled this one “Dial M for Disc Golf” to acknowledge the four featured locations: Michigan, Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Missouri. We start with our own piece from the mitten, as we explore a festive game locals call Dirty Dollars. (You’ll like the sweet ace we caught!). We shift to New Bethel, Minnesota for a battle between experience and youth as we take in a bit of Billy Crump’s latest Clash DVD, featuring the Blue Ribbon Pines course. Heading East, Steve Dodge out in Leicester, MA, checks in with a fitting homage to Barry Schultz’ winning play at the ’09 Vibram Open.
