PDGA Radio News

On the eve of 2022 PDGA Pro Worlds, Grant and Jen sit down with David Greenwell, who has competed in 40 straight world championships. (Yes, that's all of them!) Bonus: Jen also gets a green-side interview with the mixed pro doubles champs.

Basically, Grant and Jennifer spend about 90 minutes trying to keep up with Crazy John Brooks. Come along for the ride!

First, we chat with Nate Heinold, PDGA board president and TD of this week's Masters and Junior Worlds. Then Andi Young and George Sappenfield of the Disc Golf Hall of Fame join us to talk about HoF history and the new class.

First, Grant and Jen have a long, casual convo with Cale Leiviska, pro player and designer of The Preserve (hosting the upcoming DGPT event). Then, we catch a moment with the US Am champion, Ilkin Groh, who's already back at his 9-to-5.

If you saw "Flatball" – the Ultimate documentary – you are acquainted with this week's guest, but you may not know it. Dennis "Cribber" Warsen joins Grant and Jennifer to talk about his next exciting film project.

Some are calling this a "week off." Not for Grant and Jen, nor for our guest Allen Risley, Tourney Director of the upcoming Challenge at Goat Hill Park. This convo covers a lot of ground.

From the International Disc Golf Center in Appling, Georgia, Grant and Jen first remember "Old Man" Wallis with a chat with his son (and PDGA board member) Wilbur Wallis... then we get the first interviews with the first PDGA Champions Cup victors.

Guest Tim Barr is the director of disc golf at Milligan University, one of the first scholarship-offering collegiate disc golf programs in the United States. Plus, the 2022 College Disc Golf National Championships – a PDGA Major – are this weekend. Lots to talk about.

The Queen of Discs, 5x World Champion Elaine King joins Grant and Jen in the midst of her Texas swing of disc golf tournaments.

Todd Lion of the PDGA's Event Support Team talks "rules" with Grant and Jen (specifically, that Mando rules update from last week). We also spend a quick moment talking candidacy for the Disc Golf Hall of Fame, and the fact that the criteria was recently modified.

Scott Stokely hosts dozens of special needs clinics each year.

Scott Stokely is 52 and spent more than a decade away from the pro tour. This week, he’s back at the Las Vegas Challenge. How? Why? And what does he expect will happen? — Plus, another “return” to discuss – the PDGA World Rankings… sort of. Grant and Jen discuss.

In the international spirit of the Olympics – and to help us respond to a great listener question – Grant and Jen welcome PDGA International Program Director Brian Hoeniger to the podcast for an interesting and insightful look at the PDGA’s global initiatives.

Sarah drove 1,000 miles to join us. Seriously. We talk about her experience making the PDGA Rules School video series (on PDGA.com) and whether or not a pop-up PDGA rule book is a good idea. We answer a listener’s question about a rule (without visual aids). Plus, Sarah’s hidden talent is three seconds you’ll probably replay a few times.

Touring pro Kona Panis joins Grant and Jen to chat about exciting developments in her career, what she's looking forward to in 2022 and to answer some lightning round "Quick Qs."
