    The Go Throw Tour is not a competing tour with DGPT. It is a series of events complimenting the existing disc golf tour schedule. It gives expanded opportunities for players to compete and earn, fans the opportunity to see more disc golf in person and online, and the world’s top courses the opportunity to be featured on the professional scene. Go Throws mission is to continue growing the sport!

      This is good to hear! Maybe even consider Brock Park in Houston - they still hold A-tier events and is a fun park-style track that plays well and is comparable to what should be Q-series events elsewhere.

    Love it. Hope this does well. Hate how DGPT cannibalized round coverage from channels other than jomez. This year was the least dg I’ve watched in the last 10 years. I’ll be tuning in every tournament you guys post next year! Hope your tour gains a lot of traction.

      @@JacobPorterLadder Guess I’ll ask you the same question. What part of my comment said anything about how the DGPT is making money. Nonetheless I will clarify for you. The DGPT used all of these channels that had grown solid followings on their own to bolster their brand. Then yanked away non-mpolead card coverage and pulled it all in house leaving channels like these with supplemental coverage as it relates to touring events, i.e. skins. I think that’s messed up and don’t enjoy the way events are covered as much as they used to be. So I don’t care who or how whatever little money that’s in disc golf are made. If the players and media team are fine with whatever deals or money they make cool. I just won’t be spending nearly as much time consuming content from any channels owned/operated by the DGPT.

    Very excited about the new tour. If you’re looking to add any stops, 3 of my favorites that DGN ruined were Beaver State, Pittsburg FDO, and Delaware. Kansas City, Mid-America, and Canyonlands are also decent if you have enough success to really expand.
    A whole new tour with locations better than half(or more) of the current tour stops is available if you guys have the money, people, and scheduling to pull it off.
