This week we head to all the East Coaster's favorite vacation spot, Myrtle Beach. Well not really the beach, to Mitch's surprise, but to technical wooded courses packed with ripping wind and rain from the ocean nearby. With both MPO & FPO divisions going to a playoff for the win, you don't want to miss this recap!

What a breakout year of 2021 for so many women in the FPO division! This year displayed different winners every week of the tour, Catrina Allen winning her 2nd world title, Missy Gannon breaking the single season payout record, Kristin Tattar raising the bar of competition, and so many first time names with podium finishes. The 2022 FPO season cannot come soon enough!

Later, the guys reluctantly quickly relive their doubles tournament failures. Then Hayden interviews Mitch about his play in The Etowah Fall Salute. Mitch reveals his mid round secret on how to jump 14 spots (spoiler, it's tequila), how he needs to commit to putts, and how injuries have changed the way he approaches the game now.

The 2021 season has officially come to a close! What a wild ride it has been for the MPO division. First time winners, near decade long battles, young guns, old reliables; this year had it all. 

Later, the guys talk about the need of consistency from the DGPT next year and the standards our sport needs in 2022.

The Championship. Enough said.

What a week! Parked was able to attend the Throw Pink Women's Championship and United States Championship! With expectations of insane weather each day, it was a surprise to see blue skies for a majority of the tournament. Well, except for round 3... nearly 5 straight hours of rain definitely brought challenge but made out for an even crazier final day. Some players were seriously affected by the conditions and others shot the hottest round of the tournament! With the USDGC ending in a playoff and the TPWDGC swapping the lead more times than you could imagine, we cannot wait til next year!

If you didn't see on socials last week... Mitch interviewed 20+ players over the 4 rounds and was able to give an inside look at the top men and women disc golfers in the world. The interviews consisted of recapping rounds, dancing, caddy interviews, near bicycle crashes, van/tour life, and so much more! Head over to @parkedpodcast on Instagram to check it all out!

Since 1999, disc golfers from around the world have traveled to Winthrop University in Rock Hill, South Carolina for the United States Disc Golf Championship. Whether you're walking onto the course for the first year or the 20th, there really is nothing like it!

In this preview episode for the week to come, Mitch, Hayden, and Justin run through some USDGC history and later go hole by hole breaking it all down. They do their best to allow you to close your eyes (not if you're driving while listening) and visualize exactly what each hole is like from driving off the tee pad to putting out on the basket.

Hayden and Mitch are attending the event this week and will be putting out all sorts of content over on Instagram @parkedpodcast! Be sure to follow us there for player interviews, daily live streams recapping each round, and more!
