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.

This episode celebrates disc golf clubs and their role in growing the sport. Using footage from Abe Arenas, we take a look at how the Fox Valley Metro Disc Golf Club in Illinois came about, and enjoy some footage of their Jericho Lake Ice Bowl as well. We get a look at a new two-course complex in Michigan brought about through the efforts of the Local 101 Disc Golf Player’s Union as we follow the action at their Loco IV tournament. (The battle for the title comes down to the last hole.) Spicing things up, we also have a fresh ace from Louisiana, provided by Joe Todd.

Titled “Way Back Machine,” episode 32 features a trio of treats and some disc golf time-travel. Footage from the ‘97 Great Lakes Open is the foundation for our story of how time has impacted a series of holes over 12 years. We also get to view some great players still on the circuit, along with some long-gone heroes, including world distance record holder Scott Stokely. Checking in from the Tupelo Bay Open are Mike Bozik and Billy Crump. And from Discraft’s Pro Clinic series comes a piece featuring long-throwing Marty Peters called More Distance…Now!

This episode of DGL features a foursome of segments from an earlier season (not yet available on PEGmedia) to bring current viewers some of the gems from our past broadcasts. Disc golf is played all over and this show illustrates that point well. Included are stories from Hawaii (the Zonedriven Hawaiian Open), South Carolina (The United States Disc Golf Championship) and Michigan (the Amateur National Championship). Along the way, US & World Champion David Feldberg dispenses sage advice on grips for driving and mid-range shots.

This episode features exclusive footage of the '08 United States Disc Golf Championship, the most complete coverage available of the most coveted title in disc golf. All the best disc golfers turn out for this event and the course is a unique challenge. DGL #30 includes three segments on the USDGC. Part one is a review of top finishers through round one, when we taped every player in the field on two great holes.

This show begins with a look at action from the ’08 Vibram Open, featuring the production skills of Steve Dodge. Next, our pals the Guardians of Recreation offer up a scenic piece called High Desert Disgolf, then its off to Hornet’s Nest in Charlotte, NC for some of the action from last summer’s US Doubles competition put together by Mike Bozik and Billy Crump. To wrap-up, we’ve got the prime cuts from the youth divisions at last year’s world championships.
