Just read something on Zonedriven about Dave being on Conan's show for 7 minutes or something like that. Should be cool to see ;)

Just popped up out of your hole, I see? :) Look around... PDGA homepage, Other topics, etc.

Thanks for the info Matt. I only cruise tournies, equipment, players and clubs in my spare time :D

From what I have just heard there is only one person on wiht Feldberg and that is Robin Williams. there will also be a band.

Awesome !

No doubt goint to watch or tape this one for the library!

As per the the other thread, David was bumped to Thursday now.

Good story about putting with Conan making his and David missing his. Then of course Conan had to throw discs into the balcony :D It is too bad that Robin Williams wont be there now though. I wander why they bumped Feldberg?

Too many peeps scheduled

dang it I stayed up late for nothing :mad:

Get it. Love it.

rw is always too all over the place... set my dvr for tonight as well.

ce

have mine set as well. but with the rain we were getting I got woke back up around 4:00 so watched it than when I should have went back toi sleep :D

Per Jenks...

Cause Robin was gonna take alot of time and left Dave with only 3 minutes. they gave him the choice and he said he couldnt do it in 3 minutes, so we'll get the full 7-9 minutes tonight...

Also look for Nate and Avery standing by the baskets to stop the crowd from getting nailed...

Too bad, I guess Av, Dave and Junbug will have to deal with another night at the Ritz-Carlton and eat sushi and get driven around town wherever they want to go for another night...

Livin' the dream...

DVR has actually caused me to watch more television. But when you think about it your not wasting as much time because you can fast forward through the commercials therefore you can watch more shows in less time.

Can't wait to see how Borg represents us.

Per the poll, I think Conan might mention something. It doesn't help that it is in San Fransisco though. But I think for the most part Conan will just be goofy about putting and not keep on that topic.

I hope they don't call it a pole hole

Last night's trip to Napa Valley was hilarious... I want that big wine glass.

I have this crazy feeling that Conan will spend more time making fun of Frisbee golf than anything ... :mad:

Hopefully, this appearance will really help boost disc golf into mainstream culture, this is a huge break for professional disc golf !!!

bunghole :D

yeah, the Napa bit was funny, especially to me when they got the Pinzgauer stuck (which is **** near impossible, considering it's basically a 6 wheel hummer with portal axles and all that). The wine glass and the spitting and the straw and general berating the guy who gave him the tour, it was some great TV. I never stay up for Conan, but ****, he's funny this week.

when are they gonna get a real disc golf superstar like Hawk on TV?

The show opens with a joke about the guests smoking pot... I wonder if that was aimed at the discers. Hope not.

That was great. I'm pretty sure Conan foot faulted on his jump putt.

That... was HIGHLY amusing. That was great. I loved it degenerating into just chucking putters to the crowd. Conan was really getting into it, and seemed to have a knack for putting disc on chains.

Can anybody (Jenkberg? Nate?) give an accurate estimate how far away were the baskets out in the crowd? They looked to be 60ish but I can't tell for crap on TV. Maybe they were only 40 footers?

I'm mythtving the episode. I expect someone else will have it up on the internet before I get my lazy butt around to transcoding it into a web friendly format.

The camera adds 20 feet :D

Very nice job, Dave! It almost makes up for the pain I felt from the performance on the other side of the bay tonight :(

great publicity. once the crowd saw it was more than a joke, it turned out good.

Thank you David, Conan and the broadcoast compnay for promoting discgolf and having a good time with it.

Good job Dave. I would have been too nervous to even speak up there.

-Scott Lewis

Looked like lots of fun.

Watch it here:
www.discgolftv.com (http://www.discgolftv.com)

We supplied NBC with footage, but they were in a hurry and were unable to use it.
Congrats to David for representing our sport in a great way.
I'm sure YouTube will have the same footage up a few days after DGTV, but how much will You Tube contribute to the overall Disc Golf Scene. Want the sport of DG to grow???? Support DGTV.

conan - waiting!

What a champ, Dave , great job. It was very amusing and promotes disc golf in a positive way. Imagine trying to make a putt under those circumstances. Good Job guy's
Mini Thumber

That was a good thing for the sport. Might get some newcomers now that they have a disc.

What was on the disc's, stamp wise that the crowd got?

Thanks for the link, Timmy!
Conan was really pumped up!
Thanks to Dave and DGA for all the great work!

Just one suggestion:
Dave handled himself well under all that pressure. He was calm and accurate. However, although he was introduced as a Champion, Dave walked out in an old polo and old jeans - not really like an athlete or a champion.

TV is, of course, a visual thing. People see something on TV and expect that it was intentionally presented to viewers in a certain way. If Dave would have worn warmup pants and a DGA or HuckLab polo, he would have commanded more respect. He appeared very casual - just like anyone else who walked off a course. Please don't get me wrong. Dave was great. I just think he could have dressed more professionally.

At least they weren't 1970s cut off jeans... you know the ones...

We all know those cut offs .....
:(

Well if you know Borg at all, That is what he always looks like, when's hes not on the course...

We are a sub-culture of non-conformists...what would you expect?

non-conformists?

conformity is all over the disc golf course anywhere i go.

Wish he still had the beard so him and Weir would look alike

At least he didn't come out in a wife-beater and sweatpants like some DGers.

ENough common sense to realise that last night was an opportunity for the entire world to be introduced to disc golf . And our chosen representative ( a mighty fine one @ that ) walks out in a pair of jeans. :mad:

I would have chipped in the cash to pick up a pair of dockers or something . It was still a fun segment. This is a gigantic opportunity for disc golf . That crowd was going nuts!!!

And our chosen representative ( a mighty fine one @ that ) walks out in a pair of jeans. :mad:



So did every other guest.

To tell the truth, I didn't even notice the jeans till you pointed them out. I did notice the polo wearing clean cut disc golfer though.

And no jokes about stereo typing us.

People just need something to complain about, what's new it's the dis board

So what was the disc mold/plastic and what stamp was on it?
There was a ton of them laying on the table back there. Did everyone that was there get one?

Are any of the discs Conan was signing as the credits rolled up on eBay yet? I'd like to have one of those. :)

I didn't notice anything worth comlpaining about. That was a great segment.

Well, maybe one thing: I thought a chicken-wing was an OVERhand wrist flip. :D

And our chosen representative ( a mighty fine one @ that ) walks out in a pair of jeans. :mad:

Would Tiger Woods show up in a pair of jeans ???

I dont know let me give em a call

No hippie jokes was cool.

I had a smile on my face the whole time while watching, it was good to see our sport reflected in a good light. People were cheering and laughing which means we are one baby step closer to mainstream :D

Tiger actually wears shorts...

Great job Dave!! Show was awesome! Very Funny!!!

You know, you make a splendid point. I can imagine all of the nay-sayers out there: "This isn't a real sport, that guy was wearing jeans! God, what a bunch of clowns."

Seriously, do you HONESTLY think that anybody other than somebody looking for reasons to nitpick is going to notice that? If somebody is looking to nitpick about a pair of jeans, that person wasn't going to try it out in the first place. Your point is completely absurd.


-Chris.

You have no idea how many times people have turned their noses up at even mentioning disc golf . This sport has major issues to overcome before we are viewed in the eyes of the masses as legitimate. An opportunity such as this was an excellent time for our STARS to shine. And shine Feldberg did. Do I think it is an issue that he showed up in jeans, hell no. Could he have appeared a little more professional , yes... That is my only point . CJO, I do a fair bit of DG promotion on several levels, and disc golf is a hard sell. We have more negative issues than we do positive. When it comes to dealing with the public, we all have to be salesmen. Would you show up to a job interview in a pair of jeans ? No.

The point is , to the rest of the world we are a bunch of rednecks playing fetch with ourselves. A concious being would have paid a little more attention to their appearance , if only for the guise of professionalism.

How can some people can sit there and get all worked up because of what Dave wore? If you ask me, more people involved in our sport should dress even that nice. Maybe he was comfortable putting in jeans over slacks. Dave did a fine job and our sport was fortunate enough to have the oppurtunity for such exposure. I would like to know about those orange Aviars also.

I think they were blowfly's or something.

correct, they were blowflys so when they hit someone in the audience, they wouldn't hurt anyone.

Was there a special stamp on them just for last night?

Thanks for the link. I have to say the jeans thing bothered me too while I was watching it, but I really enjoyed the bit. Maybe next time he can sit down and give a real interview. One small putt for Dave and Conan, one giant leap forward for the sport!

This is what i think everyones approach seems to be wrong why only show putting. Come on who is going to want to get out thier and play if all they see is someone throwing 30" putts. Im 16 and how i get my friends intrested is not showing them me putting but driving. Who is not going to want to go out and play if they see someone throwing a disc 460 feet or so. We need to show more of what disc golf really is to get people intrested.

he could be like most DG'ers and showed up in a tye dyed wife beater and wholy shorts. NIKE driving through the park looking for an alternative sport to sponsor....sees tye dye and decides to sponsor beach volley ball instead :confused:

If he would have gone out in a suit, people would be complaining that he looked way to formal for the show.

I thought what he wore was appropriate. When PGA guys do interviews, they are in khakis and thier collared shirt - just like what they play in.

He looked like he was ready for a round of golf, however, didn't look like a bum or a hippie or anything close to the sterotypes we are commonly associated with.

I was'nt even gonna post anything on this but I'm sitting here in disbelief that this is even an issue being discussed. I thought his appearance was fine and he represented us all very well ! Thank you Dave, Good Job! :)

Yeah Dave did a great job and his appearance was fine...Conan had a pimp suit on.

That was a great appearance by Dave. Thanks to all involved in this for promoting the sport in a good light. Conan is a funny m'fer!!! I laughted hard at his reaction when his sidearm/tomahawk attempt went through the chains. :)

... and to the jeans bashers ... get a life. His purpose was to spotlight disc golf, not himself. I doubt there was a single person in the audience who was turned off from disc golf and the message because of the jeans Dave wore.

It would not have done any good for Dave to come out in a suit and tie.

Conan was dressed like that and he ended up throwing his jacket on the ground and rolling his sleeves up.

Dave did a great job and was dressed more than appropriate.

The point is , to the rest of the world we are a bunch of rednecks playing fetch with ourselves



1. pretty sure the word "redneck" has never been associated with disc golf.

2. there was a basket there, and they were shooting at it.

3. what did you expect out of a few minutes? the piece came off good, and hopefully will lead to DG getting more publicity.

Don't worry about NIKE they are not interested in Disc Golf, I work 4 blocks from their Headquarters here in Beaverton Oregon, and when suggesting they set up a 9 hole course on campus several PR people said it would not be worth their time. Trust me NIKE is so into so many other sports that we are not even close to being on their radar, now if .5 billion people in China start playing I think they will step up to the plate.

Ditto, I had no problem with the jeans and really didnt even notice them but can you imagine him doing that in clothes like Conan was wearing??? umm no that would just be ridiculous.

This whole clothes thing is overlooking the whole point anyway..

DG got some excellent exposure and they had fun doing it. Nothing negative whatsoever can come out of this.

Feldberg was wearing jeans??? What was he thinking, that is very selfish of him to ruin our reputation, on national TV, just so he could be comfortable. This is the biggest travesty our sport has seen since player ratings. I say take away his innova sponsorship and ban him from DG for good.

:D

I cannot even believe this CRAP that I am hearing about what Borg wore on Conan!!! Cant you people just be pumped that he even got the CHANCE to be on a HUGE show like that??? Ill tell you what!!! I though he did a great job and thought his attire was very appropiate........Case in point Conan got sick of his jacket and long sleeve shirt so he THREW it off so her could get more into it!!!

This sport is not going to be affected by Borg wearing jeans on Conan it will be affected by the people who have nothing better to do than complain about what he wore on the show that may have gotten us the lucky break we need!!! I mean it might not have gotten us anything but I can promise you if someone saw that show that wants to drop alot of money on the sport now the final thing they think about before doing so will not be what Dave wore on the show or the fact that he was wearing jeans and his Sponsors collared shirt!!!

I thought the show was amazing and I think Borg did a great job representing Innova and our sport!!! The crowd was going WILD once they started sending the discs at the baskets in the audience!!!

All in all it was a great thing for the sport of DG and anyone who wants to nit pick about what Dave wore on the show can shove it in my opinion!!! Im sure there was talk about what he should and shouldnt wear and im sure they came to a decision on what he did wear!!! So untill anyone else can get on the Conan show and wear what they think is right I would just be happy we got the exposure and dont complain about it especially if you had NOTHING to do with it!!!

Thanks Borg for your great representaion of our sport!!!

Hopefully there will be more great chances like this for DG in the near future!!!

Ok. That was the single most ignorant comment I think I could have read on this stupid jean bashing thread. Get a life deathbypar. Two thumbs up to Borg and Conan for getting us some exposure.

It was sarcasm.

Do you really think that anyone would actually think like that? If so then you need to get a life and not take everything on the board so serious.

I was poking fun at the whole situation dude. Notice the :D I too think that the jean bashing ridiculous, obvious to some, I guess not to others. :o

The woman on Wheel of Fortune just said her hobbies were

"extreme sports,,,hang gliding..frisbee golf......"

which one?

younger brunette...I stopped watching :Djust heard the words "frisbee golf" from the other room

I thought Dave looked like a typical non-aggresive SF street beggar. He looked like he belonged!:)
C-ya at Master's Cup!!

... the piece came off good, and hopefully will lead to DG getting more publicity.

I am kind of just playing devil's advocate here but why is everyone so excited about mainstreaming disc golf? I, for one, really enjoy getting to play without having to shovel out green fees every time. I like having the sport mostly played by a core group in my area. The sport is only going to get more expensive and slower the more people gravitate to it. Yeah, I would enjoy having more courses that I could visit but as soon as anything goes mainstream in a capitalist society the bottom line becomes the $$$ and everything else becomes secondary. I think it's perfectly appropriate for Feldberg to show up in jeans, the sport is all about comfort and fun, not conforming to dress code!

Considering your casual fun is at the expense of volunteers who have worked countless hours and contributed cash out-of-pocket, perhaps including yourself, molding and shaping public property (typically), the game isn't truly free as it is. Keeping your fun "secret" from others in the community whose tax dollars have supported the effort also doesn't seem fair does it? Devil's advocate of course.
