When a player steps up to the tee at the USDGC in a do or die moment, many might wonder what’s going on in that player’s mind. Odds are good that Disc Golf World Tour broadcaster Avery Jenkins has a pretty good idea.
Jenkins, who was named DGWT co-commentator early this season, brought his 18-year pro career to the World Tour mic with commentating duties that include Facebook Live sessions, DGWT Wrap Up Shows, player interviews, and more.

So with the start of the season right around the corner, I look back at a year and a Disc Golf Season unlike any other that I've experienced before. My 2015 started off with the amazing life-changing moment of becoming a father to the most incredible baby boy, Arian Jenkins in February. His arrival made me truly reevaluate my life and reschedule my entire Disc Golf Season around my pride and joy...the one that now calls me "Dada".

It’s been an incredible 2014 Discmania Deep in the Game Tour as it’s been the most extensive Disc Golf Tour that I’ve ever been a part of in my 15 years of touring and traveling throughout the world. It was a continuous adventure the entire time as it was reliving the Disc Golf Tour that I knew so well but this time it was all about providing the guidance for the young 22-year old German Phenom, Simon Lizotte, as it was his first time traveling ...
I said it last year and I'll say it again this year -- I need to write my yearly review during the winter months before going too far along into the disc golf season.
My recent month-long trip to Asia, which included stops in Japan, Taiwan, Thailand and South Korea, put me behind on a few projects, including disc golf articles. I have a lot to write about but very little time to do it. I need to stay on to of my blogs before I ...

2009 Year in Review - It Keeps on Getting Better!!!
The 2009 Season has undoubtedly been my best year ever, and it keeps on getting better.

I won the US Doubles Championships with my good friend David Feldberg the weekend before the USDGC to become the 2009 ...
Desert Sunset - Primm, NV
So the Big D in the Desert distance event was more then expected. Val and I arrived early into Primm, Nevada on Thursday afternoon along with Cary Trotter and Andrew Rich, whom drove 19 hours the day before just to make it down to the event. We drove out to the dry lake flats to get in some early throws and practice our distance technique. We were soon joined by the current world distance record holder Christian Sandstrom from Sweden who ...

I shot some amazing rounds, including a hot round to start the year off in Vegas and my career best round of 1088 the last round in Phoenix. I am just ...
