What happened to Disc TV this weekend? Did I screw up? I tuned in to Empire at 7 p.m. last night like I do every weekend and there was some stick golf show. Last week was the women's Pro Worlds final. I expected the men's this weekend and ended up with nothing. What gives...anyone know.

me too. I got a rerun college football game .. maybe next week..

It will be played today on empire at 2:00 p.m. according to the guide... and was played yesterday at 4:00 instead of 6:00....

Evan is that Central time or Eastern?? thanks

do the times and dates change from the guide?
And if it regulary changes why should I plan to watch?

It was at 2 this week instead of 4. The World championships. The re-run of it is today at noon.

hello is that central time or what??????

Played at 4 P.M. central in Dallas. I almost missed it but thank God for channel surfing!

Just got through watching World's Pt. II. That Climo guy is pretty good.

Seriously, Ken, you're a great asset to our sport and a class act as a Champ. Good luck in finishing out that full 18. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Did anyone see me? I heard I got a prime 2 second spot on the latest episode. Thanks for the glory discTV!

Hey Iq you were a bit late for that and they cut your spot.

About DiscTV content, I would like to see more "how to" stuff. A few months ago there was a segment on overhand throws, and before that we saw the Winnicrew explain power drives. The thumber is now a part of my game, thanks to that segment.

How about the bent elbow technique, rollers, forehand grips and throws, straddle putts, spider grips, UD putts, stance around obstacles, knee shots, etc? So much disc golf, so little time...

As far as dress is concerned, I prefer to see people in their natural disc golf gear. Seems like the cameras should be recording what is going on (recording life), instead of the players dressing up because a camera is around.

I agree with Vinnie. I signed up for extra $$$ each month to watch this show and I can never find the [*****] thing. I hope disc tv has a little more control next year...

I'm not in the TV syndication business, but I seriously doubt they have any control. They sell a show, whichever networks buy it can air it whenever they want. Complain to Empire, not disctv

DFW ch 8 tonight 10pm
90 second spot on disc golf.

Unless Dale Hanson cuts it.

We spent 2 hours doing interviews and trying to make some good shots this afternoon.

It will be interesting what he shows. We had Mike Sayre, Gene "Biff" Barfield, Tom McCutchion, Kevin "Pinnapple" Agpolo, Scott Vaughn, Dan Roark and kids playing around with them filming. Mike, Pinnapple, Scott and Tom were all interviewed.

Mike Hall from Ch 8 sports was a great guy. He had done some homework. It will be entertaining. I think this will be a funny short story.

That's total [*****] what the Empire Sports Netword did. They need to show it again for the people they screwed who set their vcr's. I want everyone to e-mail them and complain so we can watch our national championship. DiscTV needs to email us or notify this page of any major changes in programming. You'd think they would want us to watch.

I sure do miss the sportscasts of the Great Dale Hanson. Sham and Hanson=best radio football broadcast team of all time. Somebody tape that for me, puuuuuhhhllllleeeeeeeeze.

The tease was Goofy Golf?? with Mike putting in a long one from way out.

Then they did a great job on the spot. They showed Mike, Tom and Scott all on camera. They showed Mike throw one in the water (how did we know they were going to use that one?) They showed me 2 times. (My Aunt already called me)

They shows the FC Discart with Kevin "Pinnapple" pulling it.

The spot ended with Gene "Biff" Barfield in the lake up to his waist looking for the disc that he threw in the lake.

I know that Dan Roark recored it, if we can have power, we will try to bring it to the Carrollton Open.

Dale talking about disc golf. That was the best.

I need to thank Scott Vaughn, Tom McCutcheon, Mike Sayre, Dan Roark (and kids) and Gene "Swomp Rat" Barfield for comming out today.

Kent needs to thank Kevin for having his FC Discart out there today. They took one look at that and had to get it on film.

Mark, Dale and Brad did one of the pre season games together this year. It was fun listing to them on the radio. I was disapointed when I found out that it was a specail deal. It would have been cool to listen to them correct and disagree with each other again.

good luck waiting on that email kenny....it ain't gonna happen......this is what is still on the front page news on their site even though the have written a couple of new stories and added 2 new polls to vote on since this update


Aug 1: Headrick weak and partially paralyzed, but his spirits are up.

i think it is about time they updated the update with the latest news.....this is unexcusable to be like that for almost 2 full months....

people other than myself obviuosly look at the site.... even if everyone looking at it voted that is almost 2000 people according to the last 2 vote totals.....i'm sure it is much more.......SOMEBODY needs to update the page.......please

Ok, here it is, took me a while to get all of this down. Man we talk to fast.

Teaser before Sports.

Gloria Campos - We know that golf is tops with you but there is a new kind of golf out there

(Scene - Mike Sayre hits a put from the edge of the lake to the basket, caption says "goofy golf")

Dale Hanson - Well I guess I'm not big...I love golf....I love almost every thing associated with golf. I'm not sure I'm crazy about this little goofy game.
But a .. we are going to talk about it next anyway
__________________________-

(Scene - Dale)
Dale Hanson - The man who was credited with inventing the game of disc golf died a couple of weeks ago, but the game lives on. Here's Mike Hill

(Scene, Sayre it's the putt from the lake again)

Mike Hall - It's played and scored just like golf. But in this golf, you want to fly the green.... or what's suppose to be the green. (cut to casual players putting at #1 basket and missing most of them)
(Cut to Sayre)
Mike Sayre - (Professional Disc Golfer) Frisbee golf is for anyone... anyone can play.. all ages. And all handicaps....Anyone....men.. women... old... (cut to one of Dans Kids )young... you name it, we can do it.

Mike Hall - And the players take it seriously, from there bags to disc selection.(cut to Kevin Agpolo, pulling his FC Discart, you can clearly see the logo Kent)

(cut to Tom)
Tom McCutcheon (Professional disc golfer) I carry about 16 to 18 with me, they range from driver n putter to up shooters. Just like they do in ball golf. This is a driver (holds up a JLS upside-down and tried to fix it before the next scene)

(cut to Kevin making a putt that Hill tried to distract him from making.)
(Cut to Your truly teeing off on #2)
Mike Hill - It's not a new sport, in fact its been around for decades, but it's popularity is rising here in North Texas and all over the World. (cut to Scott and me walking to #4 tee, cut to Other Dan's kid making a put on #3)

(cut to Scott)
Scott Vaughn (Professional Disc Golfer) Now in the metroplex, there is over 26... Frisbee Golf courses. It's interesting to see how its evolved. Its actually Sweden's national pastime, you would think it would be skiing.

Mike Hall - they even have a professional tour with courses all over the country complete with hazards. (cut to Sayre teeing off and landing in the water) And its cheep, the discs cost about ten bucks and you rarely pay a greens fee. (Cut, shows selection of discs, side view)

(Cut to Sayre putting from the Water edge to the basket #3 making it again, [3rd try in reality])
Scott Vaughn - You can go out and spend $40 to $50 dollars on a round of Golf, in Frisbee golf you can go out and play a tournament for five dollars.

(Cut, Hill talking and throws a disc. [first 3 times he shot this, he hit the basket from 30ft)
Mike Hill - but the biggest similarity between regular golf and disc golf (cut to scene of disc hitting tree behind the basket on #4 [actually Sayre threw the disc] cut back to Hill in a close up yelling) IT CAN BE FRUSTRATING. (pan back out and Hill says) But then again you don't have expensive clubs you can, toss away

(cut to Scott throwing an upshot on #4 waaayyy past the basket through the trees)
Mike Sayre - people think all the time, well that looks so easy, I can do that. well Its not as easy as it looks.

(Cut to putts going into basket with the camera under the basket looking up.)
Mike Hill - It is worth a try, you might even end up looking just like... (cut to Gene Barfield looking for Sayres disc in the lake up to his waist. {He was in nice cloths to}) a regular golfer at times. Mike Hill Channel 8 sports, Lewisville

(Back to the studio with everyone)
Dale Hanson - You know I've seen the guys... I got buddies of mine that go into the water looking for golf balls and the like. I'm thinking maybe if you loose a disc out there (Gloria Campos chimes in "it might be easier to find") I guess you go get it... the heck with it... Crazy stuff. (Campos "it is.. Thanks")

I was talking with Brian Sullivan at Am Nationals. He feels badly about neglecting the website but is working approximately 120 hours per week on DiscTV and is sleeping the other 48 hours. He doesn't want to pull the plug on the website. He just wishes everyone had a TV show to produce and less time to surf the web! If the show is successful, he thinks that next year he might be able to hire someone to sleep for him so he can work 168 hours per week.

then he should give someone he trusts access to the website to update things.......who is updating the stories he writes and the polls.......the same person can update ed's condition........i don't care how much you do for tv....when people that see the show go to the website it is embarrassing to see ed is feeling better when he passed away a while ago...that's all we can live without todds update and stokely's questions and joe the stuff for a while but NEWS SHOULD BE UPDATED..WHILE IT IS STILL NEWS

anyone look to see if it's going to be on this sunday???
which channel 431, 432,433????

it keeps switching so not sure what to set the vcr for.

DiscTV is scheduled to be on 2 hours earlier than
usual today, just like last week when most of us missed it.

432 at 4:00!!! ??? don't know if it second 1/2 of worlds or not.

Always 432. 5 PM on the east coast, like last week. No worlds. England.

in tx they keep moving it around, different times, different channels, sometimes listed but not on. was rerun of college football last week.

guess it's time to get satillite!!

was the england, next week is soppose to be stockhohm sweden!!!
what happened to the other 1/2 of worlds?????

That British course was SWEET! Looked pretty tough. There's got to be a pub nearby.

At Stockholm Disc Golf Open they also filmed a piece with Christan Sandstrom, the World record distance holder (820 feet), explaining the basics for getting max distance. Don't know if it will be included in the same show as SDGO, but should be interesting whenever aired. We had a laser range finder handy, and all of the throws Christian made demo:ing different aspects of his technique where roughly in the 170-185 meter range (around 570-600 feet for the metrically challenged...)

Last weekend (Sept. 21-22) was Beamister. The week before that was the second half of Worlds. Next week should be Stockholm.

Empire runs Disc TV at 4pm central time on Sundays. It is also rerun on Mondays at 2 pm central time (I think). That's when I got the men's portion of pro worlds.

The programming guide on Dish Network is alway correct on the time, but seldom correct on which episode is going to be shown. It HAS been correct on the epdisode for the last 2 weeks (a new record).

I have both times (Sunday and Monday) programed into the trusty VCR, just in case.

wazzzz it on today, if so which one?????
was playing oktoberfest sunday and working all day today.

any one lurking out there that can check to see if it on today, what channel 431,432. what time(central)??????

On satelite ch 626 @ 3:30 PDT

don't have satillite, only ditial cable.

432 @ 5:30 Central

is there a replay during the week?

Replays are on Mondays at noon in CA usually.

I finally got digital cable (AT&T) and watched my first hour long episode of Disc TV yesterday (Sunday at 8pm central time). I had to subscribe to the "Premium Pack" but that was only an additional $4.95 per month. It was on Fox Sports Digital Net and I think it was the "Central" channel. I get 3 Fox Sports Digital channels and the digital cable guide makes no attempt to differentiate the three, but the one that had disc tv popped up with "Fox Central" a couple of times. I noticed during the broadcast that the Empire sports logo was on the screen. I'm wondering if they are just picking up the Empire broadcast and using it on their cable network.

Anyway, it was great seeing the pros shoot Cold Brook at the Lumberjack, since I just got back from the BBDGT and we played Cold Brook. Almost every hole that they showed of the final 9 one of the pros managed to have a worse drive than I did. That was so cool!!

Great job again Brian and the Disc TV crew. Love the show (again)!!!

jeff it was on at 8:00 sunday,fxcen 432.
notsure when it on today, but sure that it's over now.

watching DES give the throwing class was kinda cool, but see her play in person is WAY COOLER!

Anyone know if Fox Digital moves the times around each week? I couldn't find it on Sunday night. What tournament did I miss? Does Fox Digital have a schedule listed anywhere?

Jon, not sure where your at, but here in Austin, it's moved around allot. used to be Sun. morning, now Sun. night at 6p, and replay on Mon. @ 2p is now, no longer. You missed the first Am. Nationals at Tobogan, only set up once a year. Ron Russel was there giving instruction on how he throws, grips, stretches, and putting practice. Good advice he gave, something to the fact of,...if you practice from 30ft and miss less than 90%, then your only practiceing to miss/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif..good addvice, I'd say.

It was on here in Sniperland at the regular time and channel. They showed the Am Championship from Michigan.

Ron did a decent job with his commentary. I have always preached that you should practice from 15-18 feet. Great minds think alike.

off the subject a little bit.. but i was wondering do they show clips of aces or has there been an live ace filmed, just wondering cuz my brother filmed me throwing an tourny ace at the Northern Mich finals @ Mt. McSauba. He's a little funny about "his" ownership rights to the footage, i wanna get it in, so i was wondering if somebody or brian could comment on how that works.. thanks

BTW: next week from Japan

Hey salsa boy,

I guess I was thinking that it would be on at the same time as last week. Last week it was on at 8pm here in Illinois. I guess next week, I'll keep the channel on all afternoon and evening until it comes on. Do you know my brother-in-law Charles Chaumont? He plays down there in Austin, but I can never remember what course he usually plays on.

Thanks,

Jon

not that I can recall, but will try to remember/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

question?
has anyone had pain in the elbow of the throwing arm? not sidearm throwing. just backhand. need to know if I should take a break for a while to prevent further damage>

I think that pain probably comes from striking the match. Give *that* part of your game a rest. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Matchu...listen to your body, Grasshopper.

matchu, inside or outside of the elbow?

the pain is on the outside of my elbow.
maybe too much snappy?

nah I seen you throw.. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

I'm guessing not enough follow-through causing a slight hyper-extension when you stop your rotation. Dunipace will give you the absolute correct answer, so wait for him to post before believeing anything. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

seewhere, you are going to get me in trouble with all the laughing!
I do throw with snap just does not go anywherz?

come on Dave D?

I saw Gangloff Beer tonight on "According to Jim".

Matchu, go see the doc. Talk him into sending you to physical therapy. You'll meet hot chicks and get expert training and advice. Saying your elbow hurts on the outside isn't enough info. Trust me on this one.

that would be a great idea if I had insurance to pay for the physical therapy.

thanks, I will look into if problem persist

I think you have what is called Tennis elbow.
The pain on the inside of the elbow is related to a "Bowling" elbow.
Check into it, or get a magnet system for pain,they work great, but no hot chicks/msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

There was something on RNN (local cable news) here in Poughkeepsie about Warwick last night. About 5 minutes or so talking about how cool the course was and how much cheaper DG is compared to BG. A few quotes from Dan Doyle and some scenes of guys throwing in the background. I didn't recognize all of them, but I did see Yondo clank a few putts off the rim /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

Yeah, Pimpy!

we had some great coverage for the Hideaway Oklahoma Open on Channel 2 News last thursday morning. Jose Mendoza put a clip on his site.

Warning: File is VERY large. Takes a while to load even with high speed connection.

that was some SERIOUS CRAP ..WHO DO I COMPLAIN TOO.. it said disctv on at 7:00 central chanle 432 and it was going to show the womens nationals. and instead all I got was Ravens Post Game?? WHO DO I COMPLAIN TOO???

The Disc TV web site said all times are subject to change. It is suppose to re-air today at 3:00 p.m.

Hey Kristie, missed you at the Friz!

Seewhere, the program listed for Empire Sports on the dish menu has matched up to the actual show broadcast about twice! The time issue is another thing. It started at 5:30 the weekend I was gone to the Friz.

I always check the listing as close to broadcast hour as possible. Kristie is right, there is always a re-broadcast on Monday. Empire shows it at 2:00pm, I think.

Yesterday's show was a combination of the Japan Open and the women's final 9 of the Stockholm Open. Brian mentioned that the Women's National will be on next week.... we'll see...

not listed on ditial cable for today.

Thanks Anita..

NO DOUBT!!!, I had the tape recorder all ready, and nothing but the crappy raven show...
Mike, the monday air time hasn't been show'n for atleast a month. The spot has been taken off from what I can tell...

If anyone from disctv is lurking out there, we need some help to watch your show. We need an accurate listing of the time for the broadcast on digital cable. I've missed the thing two weeks in a row now because it hasn't been on when the cable guide said it would be on. HELP!!!

anyone try to contact disctv thru the disc.life.com(spl) website that they give at the end of each show??????????????????????

Disc TV showed about 20 shots at the Japan Open. Then they switched to the Women's Stockholm Final 9. Snoozer!!!!You didn't miss anything.

Hey,

I was just watching the NBC sitcom, Scrubs, and one guy said on there, "while I'm here visiting we should play some frisbee golf, ... try to date some girl" and so on...pretty cool he mentioned frisbee golf though!

Terry Miller

i saw that it was the guy from ed or what ever that was pretty cool

TK watches Ed. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

ANYONE CHECK TODAYS LISTINGS TO SEE WHEN, WHERE, ETC.....

i just checked and i dont see anything, just football. same as tomarrow

CHECK 431,432,433
ALL DAY LONG, COULD BE ON LATE NITE.

Will be on satelite ch. 626 at 6 pm pacific out here in the wild west

I have it listed as 8 pm Central on Empire (432). They're showing a Sabres game (which is blacked out???).

Probably on again Monday around 2pm.

Good Luck tapers!

aj

Good thing it's on at the same time as The Sapranos...

Peoria: US Women's Championship. Brian did a couple good interviews. Des Reading(human highlight film) was making some great shots. Juliana had a bad case of the yips. She'll be back.
I've noticed that DiscTV is using up their video from the worlds. Nice source to choose from. Cool seeing Houtown again.
The holes they showed at Peoria were looking good with elevation, trees, and tunnels. Next week: NY States.

The junior girl canning the long putt during the intro is Nebraska's won Kella Rodiek. She owns the junior girls division in the Cornhusker State games but has taken to playing womens intermediate of late. I believe that Kella is about 8 years old. She'll be a player.

Kella can't wait to see the tape, Thanks Anita!

Great installment of the show. Courses looked great and man, is Des fun to watch or what? She is really, whats the word I'm looking for...electric. /msgboard/images/clipart/happy.gif

My heart went out to JK. Watching those close range misses was gut wrenching. I know I don't have any idea of what a 4x world champ goes through mentally, but I do know what its like to continually miss those short ones. The upside is that the rest of her game was in great shape and I'm sure the putting problems will be addressed during her time off.

The British Broadcasting Corp was in Amesbury, MA yesterday filming a segment for a show called Perfect Partners that airs on The Discovery Channel daily. The blind date met at the Town Park (where the disc golf course is) and were quickly introduced to Terry West and myself for a golf lesson before they went and played together for their date. The film crew filmed so much footage of them playing golf and us teaching them that there is no way they won't have a big segment on it. The couple hit it off on the course and had so much fun. Neither of them have ever heard of the game before.
I will be sure to post the date when the show will air. Awesome exposure for the sport, awesome exposure for our course and for the Town Of Amesbury, MA.

Excellent news, Dan.

Word on the street in Michigan also bodes well for some future dg exposure. It seems a full crew from Ripley's Believe It or Not spent the day at the Discraft plant last Saturday. They were filming the inclusion of Ed's Ashes into some discs that were being molded for the DGA. I guess all that recent press attention to Ed's passing and his unusual wishes caught Ripley's eye. No news yet when this segment might run.

I saw that Schwebby was getting ready to revive this old thread and I wanted to beat him to it.

Man I loved being involved with the DiscTV episodes. When the whole thing went under, the networks still wanted to buy the show but John Sink (The guy actually making it along with Sullivan and another fellow... It was Johns' baby) just couldn't do it anymore. They were working 7 days a week to get out the weekly episodes and I guess it was just too much work for too little reward for John.

The whole thing was super-ambitious of him. I'm glad we got to do one season... better than nothing. For some reason we couldn't get any manufacturers behind the show. I tried to talk with Innova about it but they were like "what disc golf TV show?".

Anyway.... it was working and would have come along to be financially viable but I think that John just didn't have the patience. I appreciate the hard work that he and his crew did for that year. Maybe it laid some ground work for a future project by.... someone.

Oh!

And since then Mr. Joe Wander has produced a couple episodes of 'Disc Golf Live' that are available for air play at your local cable access station.

People should get copies of these and present them to the stations. I think you can even get them for free.

-tB

Toddles, I was just reading this on didn't have anything to say that has not already been said.

Never stopped you before!

LoL

very true....LOL... ;)

Thanks, Todd!

Maybe one of these Monday nights we'll see you over in SE Mich?

Let me know if you've got some segment ideas. And give Hos a shout to see if its OK to use the footage you've got of him. I've emailed him but never get returns. I'd bet he has something of a promotional variety that might be nice to show folks on the basement network, aka community television.

Shows are still free for those who will submit them for local broadcast.

Any CTV where you are?
