It has been long awaited, but its finally here. Its not like I wanted to season to end, but now that it has it is something to truly enjoy to the fullest. It is always good to give the body and mind a break from the world of Disc Golf. I have to tell you that it wears on me sometimes but it is not something that I am complaining about in anyway because I am fortunate enough to do what I do for a ...
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 ...

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.

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 ...
Another trip back to Japan, this time we were invited to display distance and accuracy at the Dodgebee Championships hosted at a domed baseball stadium two hours outside of Tokyo in Nagoya, Japan. It is some what of a huge frisbee festival presenting some of the best freestyle, ultimate teams, dodgebee, mini and golf disiplines in part of giving disc sports some great exposure to the public. David Feldberg, my sister Valarie Jenkins and myself are part of a very talented demo team consisting ...
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 ...

I will be sure to catch up in the weeks to follow now that I do not have homework to turn in and exams to study for.
So I finally graduated from the University of Oregon after moving to Eugene Oregon four years ago for that very reason, to go ...
It was the first of it's kind held at the newly founded International Disc Golf Center (IDGC) in Augusta, Georgia. It has been in preparation for months and I wanted to be a part of it all, to be at the inagrual opening of the IDGC hosting their very first tournament. I missed out on the National Tour in Bowling Green the week before and could not miss that many classes at school, so I decided if I was going hit eith of the NT's, ...
