It’s faster than a moderately quick squirrel. It’s stronger than a stiff and blustery headwind. It spike hyzers over trees in a single throw. It’s not a bird or a plane… It’s the new Latitude 64 Spark, Dave Feldberg’s new signature disc. It has a snazzy, sparky stamp and a super heroish name. I can see … Read more
As far as I know, there is no world championship of taking a nice hot shower. There isn’t a new Olympic event that involves sleeping in on a Sunday. No one ever challenged anyone else to see who could be more relaxed after a massage. While I definitely have a sense of accomplishment after … Read more
“In every round of disc golf, you will have to straddle putt at least once.” -JohnE McCray And he’s right. Almost every round, you will end up needing to straddle putt. Out from behind a tree or a bush. To give yourself a line to the basket. Because there is something behind you preventing you … Read more
Last week I summarized some of the highlights of my trip to Emporia for the Glass Blown Open. After hitting publish on that post, I realized that I left out a hundred other cool things that happened.

Months of daily preparation culminated in this little midwestern town. After an incredibly fast week, and a few days to reflect on the experience, I’ve come up with … Read more
When I was a kid, I used to watch GI Joe on TV when I got home from school. At the end of every episode, they had a little lesson designed to keep us kids out of trouble and on the straight and narrow path. They always closed each of those shorts with the phrase, “…and … Read more
Normally, when I tell a non disc golfer about disc golf, I often get polite yet insincere responses. Things like, “Oh yeah, I think I’ve seen that before. It looks like fun.” or “I’ve always wanted to try that, we should go play some time.”. The problem is that those things never, ever pan out. … Read more
As you know from any of my social media accounts, I’m here!!! After months of anticipation and 9 hours of driving, I rolled into Emporia late Saturday night. The place isn’t exactly hopping yet, but I am here a lot earlier than most plan to be here. I have a good reason, though. I hate … Read more
