Would you consider becoming a Disc Golf Planet Angel? We could really use your help, as we strive to continually improve our product. Here’s where your contribution will be going:

– upgraded broadcast cameras and tripods
– professional editing of feature pieces
– resources to market to brands outside of disc golf (the Holy Grail!)

If you can, please do. If you cannot, then we understand. We have found support and angels in many places we had never expected. We are hoping that you too can become one and help us help disc golf continue growing and evolving into the great sport we all know that it is.

Thanks for your support and consideration. We are grateful to have you as fans.

Not far down the road from Kansas City (another metropolis worthy of the disc golf mecca tag) sits a sleeping giant in disc golf that is now beginning to open its eyes, rub out the sandman, and awaken to the new reality that it has become one of the strongest focal points in our sport over the last few years. Emporia, Kansas, about a two hour drive southwest of Kansas City, has taken the slow and steady approach to growing the sport. But with the power of a local university, a disc golf promoter extraordinaire, and support from the local Chamber of Commerce, this hamlet of approximately 25,000 people will once again become the center of the disc golf universe during the second weekend in April, as the 2012 Glass Blown Open rolls into town.

DiscGolfPlanet.tv will be making our maiden voyage to this city by the Cottonwood River to, not only show off this top-tiered disc golf event, but to feature the fine town of Emporia as well. With two ball golf courses in play during the Glass Blown Open, as well as a street festival on Saturday night, DGPtv is privileged to be pulling the curtain back on one of disc golf’s best kept secrets.

The ascendancy of Emporia as a disc golf destination would not be possible if it were not for the hard work and dedication of Jeremy Rusco, owner and operating manager of Dynamic Discs pro shop. His vision of growing disc golf by, first stewarding great events, providing a great customer service through this multiplicity of retail outlets, and forging solid relationships with the Emporia business community has helped, not only disc golf become a staple where he lives, but has created an economic impact in this heartland community that many can only dream of.

Betty James, Director of the Emporia Convention and Visitors Bureau, has been a great advocate for disc golf and a big reason why this Kansas community has embraced our sport.

Betty James and her entire team at the Emporia Convention and Visitors Bureau also deserve great credit for taking this emerging sport of disc golf and finding a place for it in their community. Not only has the Glass Blown Open become a “must” on the disc golf tour, but it has also evolved into a celebration within the City of Emporia as well. Ms. James and the Emporia business community will be featured on our live Internet broadcast Saturday night, April 14th, as the town is dedicating an entire city block to celebrate disc golf and to welcome their guests back into the town.

Disc Golf Planet will be covering the event beginning on Friday LIVE from Emporia, Kansas. Our goal, as always is “Broadcasting the Best in Disc Golf.” But in this particular instance, “the best” extends beyond the course and into the community at-large. We invite you to join us as we break down the barriers and bring you disc golf from this venue that you may have only heard about. Now you can watch and literally see what all the buzz is about; and you could even make your plans for attending next year’s GBO, where we hope to gather over 700 of the planet’s best throwers.

Our Broadcast Schedule is:
Friday, April 13th starting at 10:15am Eastern
Saturday, April 14th starting at 10:15 am Eastern
Sunday, April 15th starting at 9:45 am Eastern

But it was his win in 2009 at The Memorial that started it all for Locastro. With nearly $43,000 in winnings and a USDGC title to add to his Memorial win, Locastro truly became considered amongst the elites of the pro tour with this win in the desert in March of 2009.

Watch here how Locastro got his banner year started in the warm Arizona sun.

We know at The Planet, that the more we are able to present disc golf in it’s highest form (i.e. best players at the best events on the best courses), the more attention we will get from the casual disc golfer, as well as corporate brands.

Disc golf has gained great attention around the globe, and many corporate brands are interested in partnering with our various media outlets, including DGP.tv. But it is the enduring commitment that our vendors and event coordinators with disc golf have to our sport that really carries the day.

And do it is to these dedicated purveyors of disc golf we tip our hats and express our most sincere thanks for their support of DiscGolfPlanet.tv. Without their sponsorship, and our growing membership rolls that our viewers are responsible for, we could not help nurture the rising tide of disc golf.

So a special thanks goes out to all our Memorial Broadcast Sponsors!
