New Gems at Juel


Check it out, folks.


I love showing up to a course and seeing something new.

Juel DGC in Redmond, WA. has a new message board. Nice work!

The Switch Up

I created 400 Bound to document my driving progress. The site immediately morphed into a more general disc golf focused personal outlet.

Then I had an idea while going through old boxes of crap. Do any of you remember zines? You know, the little homemade booklets full of art, poems, rants and raves published by young adults and personally distributed to coffee houses all over town?

I wanted to take an old printer on the verge of an E-waste heap and force it to puke out a disc golf zine for as long as it could. I thought it would be fun for the locals and a great way to bridge our disc golf world with those who know nothing of the sport.

The first issue was almost complete. I had a full interview with a local pro, Jason Carr, and a full interview with the owner of a new pay-to-play course in Monroe, WA.




I'm not a page designer, but I messed with it a little bit during my short-lived journalism career. I had a lot of fun putting this together.

Then something came along and diverted my attention away from this time-consuming, non-money making journey. I'm on a new path unrelated to disc golf, but if I can succeed I will be able to help my local disc golf scene as a business owner willing to help sponsor events.

So, until everything works out I'm back to blogging occasionally. I plan to get some of the information out that I acquired for the printed version of Disc Golf Beat and I still plan on documenting my drive progress, but I will also continue to write about anything and everything I find interesting in the disc golf world.

Here's to a new start.

Farewell, 400 Bound.

The DG Beat will be taking over here.

I will explain the change in my next post, but right now it's disc golf time.
