2020 has given us a chance to reflect on what being a disc golfer means. Why is the game, the sport, so important to us? We have respected our closed courses, mourned canceled tournaments, tours and majors. And now a surge of Juniors must wait for 2021 as hopes of world titles remain postponed or canceled. In honor of Junior Worlds, I asked some past PDGA Junior world champions their secrets to success, longevity in the sport and thoughts on youth play.
