PDGA Radio News

De Laveaga disc golf course is on everyone's bucket list, thanks to people like Marty Hapner, a Hall of Famer and former TD of the Masters Cup in Santa Cruz. We chat about history and the upcoming pro tourney.

Grant and Jen track down Dynamic Disc Open's course designer (and so much more), Eric McCabe for a preview of the always-anticipated tourney in Emporia, Kansas. Note: You're gonna see lots of "new" this weekend!

It's the week of the inaugural PDGA Champions Cup. First, Grant and Jen welcome Michael Sizemore and Carlos Lozano from presenting sponsor Bushnell. Then, it's tournament director Robert Leonard talking about the iconic W.R. Jackson course.

Award-Winning Tournament Director Doug Bjerkaas has designed disc golf courses of all shapes and sizes... so we're talking about the evolution of disc golf course design this week on PDGA Radio.

For the first time, it's hard to write a worthy description for an episode. That's how much we love hearing from the legend, PDGA #003 Dan "Stork" Roddick. If you know, you know. If you don't, you will. We talk history, Stork's nickname, and the Disc Golfers' Code.

Grant and Jen talk about Viva-ing Las Vegas, then get a little experimental with an unscripted, unplanned, lunchtime chat with Drew Gibson, his Sunday caddie Makayla Allen, Henna Blomroos, and Eveliina Salonen.

Jeff Jacquart tells Grant and Jen how to pronounce his name. More importantly, he shines a light on what it takes to put on an event like the Las Vegas Challenge, which Jeff has directed for 23 years.

We don’t care what the groundhog forecasts… at PDGA Radio, Spring is already here. Jeff Spring, director of the Disc Golf Pro Tour joins Grant and Jennifer to talk about the upcoming season and the event that will kick it off — the All Star Weekend.

Drew Gibson drops knowledge on disc design (and reveals who would play him in "The Drew Gibson Story" Hollywood blockbuster.) Then Grant and Jen recap what it took to win Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year in 2021 to pump you up for the 2022 season.

Back on the air... or back IN the air. PDGA Radio is back! Today, get to know your new hosts, Grant Zellner and Jennifer Allen, as we talk about the off season, the "silly" season and PDGA news including some rules updates for 2022.
