Chris and Jake welcome Mark Blinde to the show to talk about disc golf and the power of a proactive disc golf community.  They also discuss the state of non-sanctioned events, and how they serve a role in the growth of disc golf.  There may also be a dad joke or two considering it is Father's Day.  Disc Gauntlet Radio would like to wish everyone a happy Father's Day to anyone who is a father figure in someone's life.

Cash joins Chris as they welcome Dynamic Discs team member Logan Harpool to the podcast.  They talk about how Logan got his start in disc golf, being a member of Dynamic Discs, and what it means to balance tournament life between the local level and national stage.  They also show some love to the Star City Shootout, and the fresh new Lincoln, NE course, The Beal Slough.

Jake and Vail join Chris as they welcome Tyler Searle onto the Podcast.  It is a wild one, but the crew manages to talk to Tyler about his humble beginnings as a part of the Dynamic Discs family, the DDO experience, and what it was like in the business before social media took off.

Jake joins Chris as they welcome Jonathan Fletcher back to the show, along with new guest Blaine Wood.  Blaine Wood is part of the elite team, as well as being sponsored by Zen Llama, Lincoln's only disc golf lifestyle store.  The two elite team members talk about their disc golf adventures this past month and some things they do for practice putting, playing in the wind, and keeping their mental game strong when things don't go quite right.

Jake joins Chris as they talk about a variety of things in the disc golf world, and some things that are not.  Leagues, new discs, courses, and course records are just a few things they talk about before getting to the Big Blue Shindig.  Let's face it, they don't talk about the Big Blue Shindig too long, but you still want to listen to Jake's latest dad joke.
