Fresh off of trips to Europe and the Ledgestone Insurance Open, travel teammates Jeremy Koling and Austin Turner make their fifth and sixth (ish) appearances on Final Round Radio.  A lot has happened in the time since we last spoke to Austin and Jerm. Jerm finally broke the witness streak by getting an ace of his own. Austin got hit in the face with a disc at the European Open, which derailed the rest of that tournament for him. We talk about where both golfers are at mentally after each of those events. In the Lead Card, we talk about the 6th Annual 21 Hole Salute, as well as recapping the Ledgestone and Josh Anthon's return to prominence with his wire-to-wire win. In the Par 4, we talk about which half of the tour is more fun (first or second), what Josh Anthon's status with Innova is after his Ledgestone win, and which young player will be the next to step up and challenge Paul McBeth and Ricky Wysocki for disc golf dominance.

After all the heat and rain delays at Fort Gordon Disc Golf Course on the final day of the 2017 World Championships, Ricky Wysocki had captured his second straight world title in dominant fashion. Earlier in the day, Paige Pierce further solidified her place as the top women's player in the game with her fourth world title overall. It was also another stellar event for the disc golf community as the International Disc Golf Center and Fort Gordon proved to be excellent hosts for the sport's marquee event. In Episode 87, we talk to Paige Pierce about her new title just minutes after dropping in her final putt. Tournament Director Zach Shafer also gives us his thoughts on the event and the logistics that went into managing the rain delays. Finally, the crew from Jomez Productions sits down to talk about their first year touring and producing full time.

The Final Round Radio East crew made the three hour drive down to Augusta, GA for the 2017 PDGA Pro World Championships, and yes, we drove the RV. It was very comfortable.  The Friday rounds at Worlds were held at the International Disc Golf Center in nearby Appling. After a grueling 18 holes in the Georgia summer heat, Andy Goh, Kevin Burgess and Pat Bowles sat down with some of the players coming off the course. In this episode, you'll hear from Josh Anthon, Simon Lizotte (and his dad), and Augusta pro Josh Childs. We'll be on the ground at Fort Gordon where Saturday's final round will be held. Expect another episode with more interviews with some of the top names in disc golf.

The Final Round Radio East crew gets a special guest on the show today, as Charlotte Mecklenburg Parks and Recreation Superintendent Peter Cook is on the hot seat. Our first non-disc golf specific guest, Peter talks about the relationship between the Charlotte disc golf community and the Parks and Rec department, and how it led to Charlotte being a destination for disc golf. This episode is a shorty, just about 45 minutes with Peter, so no lead card, Par 4 or Final 9. Be sure to tune in next week as we travel down to Augusta, GA for the 2017 PDGA World Championship. We'll be recording Friday and Saturday nights at Worlds, so expect two episodes next weekend.

Kevin Keith and Casey Wright talk with DFW pro Landon Knight, who has decided to begin regional touring and will represent East Dallas at Pro Worlds. We talk in the Lead Card about the US Am Worlds and the DGPT Utah Open. What makes the difference between top level Ams compared to the world's best? In the Ring of Fire, we talk about the grind of the min-level MPO player leading up to the summer stretch of major tournaments.  Don't forget to like, subscribe and leave us a review on iTunes, Stitcher, TuneIn Radio and wherever you find podcasts.

Don't look now, but the 2017 PDGA World Championships in Augusta, Georgia are just a few weeks away. Along with Andy Goh and Kevin Burgess in the Final Round Radio studio is tournament director Zach Shafer, assistant TD Tom Lynch and PR intern Dani Peterson.  In the lead card, KB talks about the Mountain Disc Golf Experience, King's Cup, Magnolia Open, and Masters Cup. In the Par 4 we talk about disc tacking technology, and what it's like to work for the PDGA. We get into the upcoming World's tournament in the Ring of Fire, including talking about playing one of the courses at Fort Gordon Marine base.

Kevin Burgess makes his return to Final Round Radio East as he, Pat Damn Bowles and Andy Goh talk to Matt Torma, who has just finished construction on his 18 hole private course in West Charlotte known as Torma Town. We talk in the Lead Card about the Konopiste Open, and why so few big name players from the states made the trip. In the Par 4 segment, we discuss bag tags, the necessity of a side arm when competing at the highest level, and sticker etiquette on the golf course. In the Ring of Fire, we talk about how Matt went about finding the land for Torma Town, what some his challenges and successes were in constructing the course, what some of his goals are, and of course, how to play.
