My 2012 PDGA tournament season started like it usually does, with a trip south to Las Vegas for the Gentleman's Club Challenge.
The event is considered a season opener as many of the top players come out to the desert in search of warm weather and some top-notch disc golf. Plus, it's in the great city of Las Vegas. We're always looking for an excuse to get back to Sin City as often as possible. We're usually here in the spring for the GCC and ...
Avery Jenkins has been carrying discs around for a long time. It would be next to impossible to calculate how many discs he’s carried for how many miles, but a safe guess would probably start at six figures. In May of 2010 however, carrying those discs got a lot easier for him. It was just before the Master’s Cup National Tour event in Santa Cruz when Avery and his sister Valarie were able to test out the Grip EQ Tour Bag on the professional level. ...

Disc Golf has a Pro Tour, and Momentum
By Jack McCluskey

His parents picked up the sport in the '80s, planned family vacations to places where they could catch a tournament on the weekends and bought disc golf baskets for the backyard. Now Jenkins, 31, is closing in on his 10th year of traveling on the pro disc golf tour, making a living playing the sport.

Backhand Grips
Mid-ranges/Putters – Modified Fan Grip
The Modified Fan Grip is mainly used on Mid-Range Drivers and Putters due to the increased depth and rim height on the under side of these discs. This grip provides a firm and more secure handling of the disc as compared to the Power Grip because it allows your fingers to spread out along the bottom side of the flight plate. The Power Grip is rarely used on deep-dish Mid-Range discs or Putters because it creates a loose grip on ...
