The 9th episode of Disc Golf Live is in the hands of our broadcast partners around the country. Thanks to everyone who has arranged for local broadcasts or otherwise helped out so far.

If you are interested in getting a copy of the show to submit to your local community access station, contact DGL. Show DVDs are free to broadcast partners and the program meets broadcast guidelines for most community stations. For anyone with a stake in seeing disc golf grow, the publicity offered via DGL broadcasts can be invaluable.

The feature event for episode nine is the British Open. There is coverage of showcase finals for both the men's Masters and Open divisions from a fine course in Essex, England. There is a course review from Hickory Hills in Traverse City, MI, as well as a look at Kensington Metropark in Milford, MI and the Toboggan course where we captured the Throw of the Show. The Guardians of Recreation are back, this time with a nice general piece about disc golf, which they offer to others who might want to post it on the web. Our crew at the USDGC caught up with Phil Arthur and he shared some tips on ambidextrous throwing. We'll also take a look at the action among the amateur women's field from the 2004 Des Moines Worlds. There are event calendars along the way, and as always, there are a couple of minutes of footage at the tail end of the program so local information can be inserted as warranted or the show can be shortened if needed. Thanks to the PDGA, Innova, Discwing, and Discraft for their support of Disc Golf Live.

Disc Golf Live welcomes locally created segments or rough footage. Please let your fellow golfers know about the opportunity to promote your event/course/players/club nationally and consider putting something together. With video equipment and editing software easy to obtain, it's often just a matter of getting a few creative folks on the same page.
