I can't wait for the day when every news story or article about the sport doesn't have to start with a careful disclaimer like "whoa, here's something you've NEVER heard of!". One of these days... eventually.

But yeah, that was a well-done story and a good snapshot of the sport. Makes me want to drive an hour and finally hit the courses in Leicester! (I just moved to Boston.)

When I was playing Borderland state park I ran into a guy that said Leicester was better, I just doesn't seem possible, I wish I could have made it there. BTW checked out your site, I love that pic of #11 in Aspen.

Hey this is a good story. Although a little dated.

I thought it was a great video till the reporter slipped up and said "You throw your Frisbee", then later she said disc again.

Of course Mrs. Jenkins is always nice to look at. She is the Dolly Parton of Disc Golf.
