The Fly Mart

For those who do not know, at a large disc golf event, like amateur worlds, there is an evening set aside for booths at which many vendors sell a wide variety of disc golf related paraphernalia - discs, golf bags, clothing, and more. It's a great time to see and get some pretty cool stuff, because the sport is in a creative stage in terms of such paraphernalia and it is the only sport where the objects of play are themselves objects of art.

Below, Scott Keasey of the DGA, Disc Golf Association, holding up a tie-dyed Rogue disc. I was particularly happy with Scott right then, as he had managed to find - in a stack of such Rogues - a single first-run Rogue that had accidentally gotten dyed with the others. The first run was understable, so I have been able to add it to my bag.

Below, left to tight, PDGA Tour Manager Dave Gentry (GA), PDGA Marshall Cris Bellinger (OR), Amy Walker from the Phoenix, AZ area, and Sheila. Amy was manning a booth for "4HandZ" and had been describing to Sheila and me some of their work with underprivileged youth.


Below . . . Yes, that is famed online webmaster and radio host Brian Sullivan kind of startling a young co-worker by showing what he thought of something I had just said.

This guy is a Wisconsinite - and a happy one - he won the 18-hole course from the DGA.
