Will McBeth be able to remain as the GOAT of Disc Golf?

I'm kickin' it in Colorado this weekend with the in-laws, and guess what?

I’M SUPER PUMPED to take on a new course - "Palmer Lake (Rockin' the Rails)." Ever tossed a disc there? Give it a look-see on Udisc right here!

I'm practically glued to the screen watching the DGPT on DGN too!

Ledgestone's got me hooked! Just witnessed FPO wrap up Round 2, and MPO's just warming up. Big high-fives to Erza Robinson and Calvin Heimburg for absolutely crushing round 1 at -12. Insanely good disc golf! 🥏😎

THIS WEEK’S SCOOP:

1. Baby McBeth is on the way!

High-fives all around for Paul McBeth and his better half, Hannah! They've sent shockwaves through the Disc Golfing universe with a new rookie joining the team in October 2023. A baby disc golfer on the way – how 'bout that?!

Now, I'm over the moon for these two, but you know how critics love to play armchair quarterbacks.

The burning question?

With a new addition in the McBeth family, will the baby's adorable coos and midnight feedings sideline Paul from holding onto his GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) status?

Can the king keep his crown?

And do you think they’re little one will become the #BabyGOAT?!

What's the word, folks? Toss me your thoughts – I'm all ears! 🥏👶 

2. Andrew Presnell is KILLIN IT!

Missed last week's clash of the titans?

Well, buckle up, because Gannon "IceMan" Buhr and Andrew "BucketMan" Presnell brought the house down, going toe-to-toe, mano a mano!

When the dust settled, Andrew snagged the win, grinning all the way to victory lane.

Although it’s only a DGPT Silver event, it was more like a golden battle – the competition was as fierce as a honey badger on a caffeine binge!

Big ups to 'Pres'! We're on the edge of our seats, pal, waiting to see how you'll rock the boat over the next couple of months.

AND DAMN!!! This part of the season, my friends – it's like a glorious all-you-can-eat buffet of disc golf mastery. Everyone's swinging like they were born with a disc in hand.

Grab your popcorn; this is the good stuff! 🥏🔥 #GameOn

DAILY DISC GOLFER OF THE WEEK:

Doug Bjerkaas is an ABSOLUTE STUD!

Friends, gather 'round.

Let me introduce you to a fellow who’s as genuine as a homemade apple pie, a straight-up mid-west country boy with knowledge pouring out like grandma’s gravy. You'll fall head over heels for this guy the moment you shake his hand.

Who am I rambling about?

None other than the legendary Doug Bjerkaas.

Oh yeah, Doug is in the big leagues. A top 500 Global Masters Player, this guy has pocketed nearly $10K in cold hard cash as a pro, duked it out in over 140 PDGA tournaments, and claimed victory in 22 of 'em!

Winning once?

Sure, nice. But 22 times?

Well, tip your hat, Doug, 'cause you've earned it! 🎩

But don't think Doug's all about the trophies and accolades.

No siree! He's a true romance with the game, a “disciple of the disc” if you will.

Last week, I had the chance to chat with him on Zoom. Between bites of virtual snacks, we talked about life, Disc Golf, and Doug’s vision. This is a man who's not just playing the game but nurturing it, cultivating a community that loves it as much as he does.

Former president of Dynamic Discs? Check.

Now the Director Of Operations for the PDGA? Double check.

Initiatives that are as visionary as a sci-fi author's dreamscape?

You betcha.

I reckon I speak for all of us Daily Disc Golfers when I say:

“Doug, thanks for building something as solid and beautiful as a hand-carved wooden coffee table. You're a craftsman, a player, and a true friend of the game.”

Here's to you, Doug!

Keep throwing those discs and shaping our world. 🏆🎉 #DiscGolfHero
