Disc golf tournament planned in Beacon | The Poughkeepsie Journal | poughkeepsiejournal.com: "Half the fun is not making a great throw yourself, but to be there when someone else does something amazing. When someone manages to hit a basket from 40 or 50 feet away ... it’s really exciting. The chances of you experiencing that are even greater when you’re out with a couple of friends,” said Brian Schenck, an avid disc golf player and coordinator of the Beacon Disc Golf Facebook page."

Pocket : The Thrill of Maple Hill: "The Vibram Open at Maple Hill Farm in Leicester, Massachusetts is one of the most highly anticipated tournaments of the year. Not only is the course at Maple Hill one of the most picturesque and amusing courses the players see all season, it is also possibly the most challenging. It is the perfect place to test the will and determination of the world’s fiercest competitors. Appropriately, the Open wraps up the National Tour Elite Series presented by Vibram, which means there are winners of the event, but there are also Champions of the National Tour. As we bring the season to a close, Paige Pierce and Catrina Allen in the women’s division and Paul McBeth and Ricky Wysocki in the men’s division are both separated by a mere two points. This spreads a thick layer of drama on top of this already impressive dessert of an event."

2013 Sula Open – Pre Tournament Interview | Avery Jenkins | Disc Golf World Champion

2013 Sula Open – Pre Tournament Interview | Avery Jenkins | Disc Golf World Champion: "Yes, of course! Last year was my first time to Sula and it was quite an experience to playing Disc Golf in that part of Norway. It might be the most remote place that I have ever played Disc Golf as it seemed very far away from everything including other towns and cities. But that’s also what probably made it so great, that it was so beautiful, pure and untainted. The players were awesome and the accommodations were amazing as I was staying at the Myrrusten Household which was just 5 minutes walk from the course. An overall great Tournament as I look forward to returning again this year!"
