My hope is to inspire people to just get out there and play disc golf. I plan to share things that help my game grow while showcasing Dynamic Discs in the process. Question: Do you think short form videos (YouTube Shorts or Instagram Reels) are a must for success or will high quality long form videos be enough? I have plans for different types of videos (series) but wanted to hear your thoughts.

We compare how people see PDGA Ratings versus how people see DUPr ratings and their relevancy.
Should new players avoid distance drivers? We answer a listener's question about sticking with fairway drivers while building better form.
Too many missed putts… or just too many basket types? We break down the debate on whether the PDGA should mandate one basket for the pros.
With these two fast growing sports one is leading the way. We talk about why we think pickleball is exploding and what disc golf can learn from it.

The Disc Golf Pro Tour (DGPT) has announced a new scores and stats platform for the 2024 season, transitioning to a service powered by PDGA Live and StatMando. This change aims to enhance the integration of new features, stats, and analytics into DGPT's Scores and Stats and live broadcasts on the Disc Golf Network. The platform will debut at the regular-season opener, moving away from UDisc Live, which had been the provider since 2016. This new endeavor represents a deepened partnership with StatMando and PDGA, promising advancements in disc golf scoring and statistics.

I met Tyler very early in my disc golf career and I was always impressed with his sense of humor and creativity in his work with DGA.
I came across a video called Hilarious & Cringe-Worthy: Top 15 Disc Golf Commercials. In this video I saw a couple of ads produced by Tyler and it occurred to me that it had been a long time since I had spoken with Tyler.
In this episode Tyler and I have a casual conversation about our work in disc golf and his new project, The Kindness Mob.

A few months ago Gannon made a post on his social media that he was leaving Prodigy before the end of this contract. Later Prodigy sued Gannon for breach of contract.
After a few months the lawsuit has been dropped and fans of disc golf are left debating whether it was Gannon or Prodigy that came out on top.

I came across an article back in November of 2021 about a Ribbon Cutting ceremony for a new disc golf course at Georgia Southern Armstrong. The article mentioned a new disc golf club that was open for students to join.
I thought it was interesting for a college to be supportive of disc golf and posted on the disc golf answer man Facebook page to see if anyone happened to live there that I could contact and ask some questions about the new course.
Someone commented that Wes Johnson was in the photo from the article and that he was hired on as a disc golf team coach. I thought this would make for a great interview to find out what is going on with this college and hire a disc golf coach.
I reached out to Wes and he said that the program was in the very early stages and thought it might be better to wait until later to talk about the program. I reached out in June of this year and Wes said the coaching has gone great and that his students played in their first tournament.
I asked Wes to be on the disc golf answer man to learn a little bit more about how this program got started, how he put together a coaching plan, and what it is like coaching students about disc golf.

In this episode I have a conversation with Craig Kitchens from Idio Sports. Back in 2018 Craig got the idea to make a disc golf shoe and then 3 years later he had a prototype. He had people like Nate Sexton testing the shoe and then soon after started a Kickstarter campaign with a goal of raising $119,000 and ended up raising over $260,000.
I remember hearing about these shoes back in mid-2021 and to be honest did not think much about it. I had seen other companies try to make disc golf shoes including Dynamic Discs where I was part of the decision making process for the shoes. A disc golf shoe is no easy task. Disc golfers are rough on shoes.
I wanted to learn about Craig and Idio sports and what his plan is to make sure he can make a quality disc golf shoe.
We dive into the journey of idea to the actual shoe and we also learn about Craig and some of the challenges he faced in a previous business and the lessons he learned that he brings with him to his disc golf shoe company.

Eric answers a question about the importance of release angle especially as you develop more power with your throw.
When your round is going bad do you change up your game plan or stick to what you did in practice?
Hot Take (sort of)
If you are not throwing understable discs for your forehand throw....you are the problem and not your discs.

A question we often get on the show is people inquiring about how to get a disc golf course in their area. Who do they need to talk to? How do I work with the local disc golf club? How do I approach the local Parks and Recreation Department?
Pacific Upshot Consulting saw a need locally to help disc golfers grow a disc golf community and is now doing it just about every where.
In this conversation Jon walks us through some of the process to finding a piece of land, working with disc golf clubs, talking to municipalities, and promoting your course.

We talk about his recent contract with Infinite Discs and what that means for his forthcoming line of discs, how the people around him influence his thinking, and why he works on staying positive through all the noise out in the world.

The video used for this episode was recorded by me while I was in Kansas City in 2016. Admittedly Eric has an unorthodox throwing style and it has changed over the years. So before you dismiss his ability to teach throwing, take a listen because the fundamentals of throwing a backhand throw are in this show. He knows he has an unorthodox throw, but that is not what he teaches.

I want to try something different. Different in that from time to time I am going to bring you content from outside of disc golf. But it will be from sources that I believe will benefit your disc golf game. And this one is on Mental Preparation.
Coach Brian Klepacki from Critical Bench talks about Mental Preparation for Sports and Athletes. He talks about mental toughness in other sports but I really think his advice on being mentally tough can translate over to disc golf.

On today’s DGAM Daily we have Eric and Tina Oakley on the show and continuing with their 2 perspectives series on putting. This time they talk about picking the right putter and being confident with you putting.
If you were to ask someone which is the best putter you are going to get so many different answers. Bead..no bead..microbead. Deep dish or shallow...and on and on. It really comes down to what you are comfortable with. This is one of those things that you will need to practice with a few different putters.
Picking a putter you are comfortable with gives you confidence. You need confidence to make putts. You think Ricky Wysocki walks up to an 80 foot putt and tells himself he will never make that putt? NO WAY. He is telling himself that he has practiced that shot over and over and can make it. That is why your mindset is so important in every area of your life and in disc golf.

On this episode of DGAM Daily we have Robbie C and he talks about practicing putting with a purpose. This is something we often mention on the show. Practicing with intention. Too often I hear about people going out and just doing field work. Well, what is happening during that field work? Are you just emptying your bag? Are you just unloading your putter from 80 feet away. If you think this is going to level up your disc golf game, you need to think again.

On this DGAM Daily Eric and Tina Oakley share some insights on focus to improve your focus.
Picking a spot on the basket to really focus on. Some people pick the pole or maybe a link in the chains. Routine is the key. Every time you step up to putt in a tournament you need to rely on a routine that you have established during your practice time.
