After a long trip across the country following the USDGC, Steve Mills and I made a trip down to the great state of Texas to play some late season tournaments throughout the south. We stayed with our good friend Robbie Bratten at his apartment in Houston. We planned on staying there throughout the week and traveling to the tournaments on the weekends. I had planned to play a few Supertour events in the coming weeks such as The Corpus Christi Open, The Oklahoma Open and ...
2008 USDGC - Morning Fog over Winthrop Lake
On Monday morning following the USDGC Doubles event, the Clash DVD crew drove out to Hornets Nest Disc Golf Course to finish the Clash taping that we tried to complete on the previous Friday but couldn’t due to the rainy weather. Billy Crump organized the competitors for this video - Barry Schultz, Eric McCabe, Brian Schweberger, Michael Johansen, Kevin McCoy and myself for the first of its kind - Worst Shot Doubles at Hornets Nest. It was formatted ...
So I arrived in Charlotte, NC on Wednesday night before the start of the USDGC Doubles Championship. I made the 8 hour drive down from Ohio with my friend Steve Mills and pulled up to Billy Crump's house to spend the weekend. Feldberg, Climo and Schultz just arrived that day as well, early enough to get some rounds in at Winthrop Gold, Renaissance and Honests Nest in preparation for the Doubles event. The Doubles Teams were Feldberg and I, Schultz and Schweberger, Climo and Brinster, ...
So we arrived into Boston after returning from Sweden where we spent the last two weeks on the EuroTour. The Swedish tournaments were amazing and had some consistent finishes in both the Stockholm Open (5th) and the Scandinavian Open (4th). Our good friend Tim Walsh picked us up and provided us with a place to stay with his family throughout the weekend.
On Thursday (July 24) I celebrated the big 3-0 and spent the day playing doubles designed for the top four players in National ...
On our travels back to the East after the Big D in the Desert, Val and I played back to back tournaments in Kentucky. The second event being the Disc 'n Dat Bluegrass Open, one of my favorites due to the courses and the travel vicinity to my parents home in Ohio, an annual tournament that I used to play every year when I lived back home. It is also great to see some old friends that I have not seen in years, great time ...
The week started out as I was called out for an earlier then expected tee time at 9:20 am, which was definitely a later start then last year when I had to warm up in the dark of the morning. I came out the gates and birdied 8 of the first 10 holes, I was on a roll. It reminded me of the start that I had during the 2005 USDGC when I birdied the first 10 holes, a feat that has not been accomplished ...
The anticipation grows as we draw closer toward the start of the 2007 United States Disc Golf Championships. It is going to be my 8th year in attendence and I plan to inprove my career best finish from last year, which was 4th, and finally win this prestigious event. It's all about the title, even though it also comes with a $15,000 dollar check. Competitors from all over the world come to Rock Hill, South Carolina to challenge the best players in the world on ...
After a grouling week in the Northwoods of Wisconsin at Highbridge, we headed for Chicago for a flight to Stockholm, Sweden for a 3 week Eurotour. The flight only took 7 hours until a quick layover in Amsterdam were we met up with our good friend Arthur Haverkamp to catchup on things seeing that we have not seen him in over a year. Then onward to Sweden where we were picked up by Anders Kallstrom. We were invited to stay at the Kallstrom household throughout ...
After returning from Japan on late Monday night, we began to prepare for the World Championships that were set to begin on that Wednesday. We stayed in a chalet lodge at the White Cap ski resort with Climo, Brinster, Burl, Feldberg, Melody, Peckham, Philo, Val and myself. On Tuesday Dave and I practiced Granite Ridge, the only course that we would be playing twice during the actual week and then for the semi-finals on Sunday morning, earlier that day then headed over to the World ...
A restful and relaxing time was spent at my parents home back in Ohio, we caught up on much deserved sleep and gave our bodies some time to heal. I got back to the basics and started back to training in the very backyard where I first learned to drive and putt, it brought me back to a time when I focused more on just the true enjoyment of just throwing discs. I also got to visit with friends and family whom I have not ...
