    316. Scott Stokely Presented by Brian Heller and David Martin

    This week on the Hudson Valley Disc Golf Podcast, we sit down with a true pioneer of the sport, Disc Golf Hall of Famer Scott Stokely (PDGA #3140). From the "Wild West" days of the 1970s at Oak Grove to competing on the modern Pro Tour in his 50s, Scott shares incredible stories from his 50-year journey in flight. We dive deep into the evolution of disc technology, the "imposter syndrome" of speaking at the sport's 50th anniversary, and his mission to preserve the blue-collar, misfit roots of disc golf culture. Local News & Events: Riverside Recap: Details on the upcoming "Deja-Vu" Elevation Disc Golf mulligan event in Port Jervis. Tournament Alerts: Registration updates for FDR Foolsfest, the Blatnik Breeze, and the first-ever PDGA event at Dove Creek, ADK Discs Presents - Wing it and Sling it Open. League Standings: The latest from Nine Pin Cider, Northway Brewing and Fence Road farm Brewery Putting Leagues as well as the February monthly at Stony Kill. A "Miracle" Ending: Stick around for a post-show debrief with Ryan, calling in live from Milan, Italy, to celebrate a historic USA Olympic Hockey gold medal.

    315. NYTC 5 Recap, The 20th Annual J-Park Ice Bowl and Disc or No Disc

    The gang is back together for a packed episode of the Hudson Valley Disc Golf Podcast! Pat is joined by a full house—Alex, Jaimen, Erich, Evan, Tim, Corey, and eventually Randy—to break down a snowy, action-packed weekend of New York disc golf. First up, the crew dives deep into the latest round of New York Team Challenge. They cover the key matchups, including the Beasts at the Widowmakers, Revolution at Tower of Power, Whips at Minekill, and the Wrenches at the Goats. Expect detailed breakdowns of the spreads (including the legendary CTK couch), the necessity of ribbons in the snow, and who is still alive for the finals. Then, we shift gears to the 20th Annual J-Park Ice Bowl. We recap the charity event that raised over $1,500 for the local food bank, discuss the creative team names, and highlight the winners across all divisions. Finally, stick around for a chaotic game of "Disc or No Disc" where Randy/Erich battle it out against Alex/Evan. Announcements: Fools Fest registration, Dove Creek’s "Wing It and Sling It," and a 9-Pin Putting League update. Thank you to our newest Patreon member, Peter FitzSisti!

    312. 2025 HVDGPPotY and 2026 Goals

    In this packed episode, Alex, Erich, Evan, Corey, Tim, Jaimen and Randy braved the "drifty" 13 to 18-inch Hudson Valley snowfall to look back at a massive year of growth and look forward to what 2026 holds for the local scene. We officially crown our 2025 Players of the Year in the FPO and MPO divisions, recap both Nine Pin Cider Putting League Week 3 and Fence Road Farm Brewery Winter Putting League Week 1, and wrap things up with one of the most chaotic rounds of Disc or No Disc yet. Key Takeaways & Highlights: The 2025 Honor Roll: Using Justin Michelli’s multi-metric "weighted" spreadsheet, we reveal the FPO and MPO Players of the Year. Is it a consensus, or is there a debate? 2026 New Year’s Resolutions: From Alex’s road to AmWorlds to Tim’s quest for a "healthy" season and a backhand turnover, the guys lay out their quantifiable goals for the coming year. Course Talk: Updates on the back nine at OKDGC, the Greg Kurtz "Workday" philosophy and Tim gets the spreadsheets he’s been waiting for. The Big Quiz: A high-stakes "Disc or No Disc" featuring everything from mythology to the Halo franchise and a very specific demon from the movie Dogma. Note: Nine Pin is taking a week off on February 2nd, but they'll add that week to the end of the season!
