Yep I'm pretty happy that we got another disc golf related story in the news that portrays us (disc golfers) in a positive light. The segment starts at the 30 minute mark.

This weeks episode had one of the caracters talking to their friends in a bar about meeting a date and getting in the date's car and the date explains their love for the car and that they like to drive and blast Dave Mathews. So the character gets out of the car and says they are done with the date.

It flashes back to the character in the bar and his friends ask him "What's wrong with Dave Mathews?"

To which the character replies, "Next thing you know I will be playing Frisbee Golf and taking it way too serious."

Ha Ha.

Pretty silly my thread got merged here, so if you search you have to dig through a thread that spans to 2003. We need some people on here that understand messageboards and how they are supposed to work. This thread is a nightmare. "Disc Golf in media" should be a section, not one giant cluster of 1 thread 8 years long.

"The Bird and the Bee Sides" by Reliant K has a frisbee golf reference in the lyrics.

They ran the piece 3 times this morning during the newscasts.

All 3 segments they ran had different banter after the piece ran and during one of them that was sorta mentioned how different throwers are as they said muscles didn't matter as much as technique for throwing.

That Keith Jackson guy

said some good stuff, but they did mangle a couple of other things I said - they left out the Alpharetta Visitors and Convention Bureau in people responsible for Wills baskets and turned the part about the area adding 12 courses since I moved here into I helped get 12 in the last few years when I only had a hand in 4-5 and 3 directly.

Overall a pretty good story!

Yeah, he's been playing since 1996 - but not in Events - and got his start at the Brent Hambrick course in Columbus, Ohio.

It was a good piece and informative for those who did not know about the sport for the most part - and except for that Keith Jackson

guy wearing the nice Vibram Open shirt the others looked good also.

Justin stuck around and played 18 holes with me, Brad and Chris after the shoot and Justin only lost by 4 strokes to Brad on a course he saw for the first time, and was leading all of us after 8 holes, although he only plays a couple of times a month.

Happened to glance at TV at 8:15 am eastern Halloween morning and saw a DisCatcher and someone Tebowing. (The Tebow one knee praying pose)

It was included with numerous other Tebowing incidents.

Some guy throwing a lid off of a bridge while a guy in a speed boat jumped out of the boat to make the sweet catch. This could be voted play of the week vs the one handed football grab. Go vote!

drdisc · Dec 07 2011, 11:27 PM

That guy is Brodie Smith(?) one of the best Ultimate players at the Univ. of Florida.
He has some amazing videos on youtube. Check out the one with him and another guy throwing a basketball. That bridge/boat shot was seen all over national TV including CNN and The Weather Channel. After he hurts his knees or ankles , he may become a pretty good golfer?

Any word on when the 2011 Worlds DVD will be shipped ?

Here's an interesting nugget that could have wide ranging implications:

If given permission by Wham-O, should we consider changing the name of our sport to Frisbee Golf or stay with disc golf?

wsfaplau · Feb 09 2012, 04:33 PM

Here is another interesting nugget.

I think it might be clever to create some catch discs with a hot stamp on them that simply says, "Beach Ball" and see what happens...

This might be the best TV piece on disc golf I've ever seen...it's got world class players, not one but TWO different ace runs from Barsby, and none of the typical inaccuracies about the sport that often get misreported in these type of segments.
