Episode 43 brings together in one episode a variety of how-to segments created over the 7 years DGL has been in production. To start the first half of the show, Michael Raley provides a primer on the basic backhand drive, and Phil Arthur offers up tips on ambidextrous throwing. Next, Chris Sprague shares his thoughts on the proper swing plane, and Brian Schweberger rounds things out with a discussion of the overhand throw.

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.

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.
