  With the 2018 Amateur World Championships in Charlotte, NC, the disc golf world is once again headquartered in the Mecca of disc golf. Final Round Radio was on hand Tuesday night at the Flymart to talk to one of the founding fathers of the modern sport of disc golf, Harold Duvall. Harold is one of the co-founders of Innova East, along with Dave Dunipace and Tim Selinske. Harold is also a two time world champion (1982 and 1985) and, along with Dave Dunipace, the creators behind the modern disc golf disc. We talked to Harold about how he met Dave and Tim and Innova's beginnings. We also talked about the differences between disc golf in 1983 and today's game, how important it is to have a strong amateur field in the sport, and the serendipity of his PDGA number (#2018).  Send in your questions for the Par 4 by shooting us an email at finalroundaradio@gmail.com, and messaging us at @finalroundradio on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

We try something a little different on this episode of Final Round Radio East, as we use the Hyzer Line (704.727.6077) to make a call to two Charlotte-area players who have gotten a hot start to their touring year: Grady Shue and Lance Brown. Grady Shue finished in a tie for sixth place at the Memorial Open in Scottsdale, Arizona, despite a 30-plus hour drive to get there with Jeremy Koling. Not to be outdone, Burlington, NC native Lance Brown won the Wintertime Open beating a field including Paul McBeth, Eagle McMahon, Philo Brathwaite and others in his first A-tier of 2018. Andy Goh and Pat Bowles chat to both of them over the phone to get their take on their performances and see what's awaiting them in 2018. We also discuss Ricky Wysocki's foot fault at the Memorial, James Conrad's "Bottlegate" incident at the same event, the withdraw of Vibram from the world of disc manufacturing, and early season trends in the Par 4.

In the first episode of 2018, we talk to one of Final Round Radio's most frequent guests, Jeremy Koling. Big Jerm had lots to talk about, as he just returned from his trip to Thailand to play in the Samui Swine Classic, had his crazy trick shot, the pterodactyl claw, go viral, and he also explains why he signed up with the Disc Golf Group and why he believes it might change the business of disc golf as we know it. We also talk about the constant change and closing of signature disc golf courses like Roy G. Guererro, Swope and RL Smith. We examine the effects of adding a fifth round to the PDGA Worlds, our biggest on-air mistakes, and give some way too early predictions for the 2018 season.

Months, even years before the first tee shot at a PDGA Major or NT flies into the air, hundreds of hours of groundwork, planning, and logistics go into making that event possible. One of the people who is most responsible for that work that generally goes unseen is our guest for Episode 106, Shawn Sinclair. Shawn has worked for the PDGA for many years as a Chief Marshall, member of the Board of Directors, and also as course consultant. That part of his role is what brings him to Charlotte this week, as he is scouting out locations for the 2018 Am Worlds which will be held here in the Queen City.  In Episode 106, we talk about Shawn's background playing disc golf in Southern California, how he made the decision to go pro and quit a job in teaching, and how he got involved with the PDGA on a working basis. He also talks about being on the committee that was tasked with finding a replacement for outgoing director Brian Graham.

Disc golf doesn't take a break during the winter months, it just shifts the focus from top competitions to charitable events.

Fresh off of trips to Europe and the Ledgestone Insurance Open, travel teammates Jeremy Koling and Austin Turner make their fifth and sixth (ish) appearances on Final Round Radio.  A lot has happened in the time since we last spoke to Austin and Jerm.

We talk about where both golfers are at mentally after each of those events. In the Lead Card, we talk about the 6th Annual 21 Hole Salute, as well as recapping the Ledgestone and Josh Anthon's return to prominence with his wire-to-wire win. In the Par 4, we talk about which half of the tour is more fun (first or second), what Josh Anthon's status with Innova is after his Ledgestone win, and which young player will be the next to step up and challenge Paul McBeth and Ricky Wysocki for disc golf dominance.

After all the heat and rain delays at Fort Gordon Disc Golf Course on the final day of the 2017 World Championships, Ricky Wysocki had captured his second straight world title in dominant fashion. Earlier in the day, Paige Pierce further solidified her place as the top women's player in the game with her fourth world title overall. It was also another stellar event for the disc golf community as the International Disc Golf Center and Fort Gordon proved to be excellent hosts for the sport's marquee event. In Episode 87, we talk to Paige Pierce about her new title just minutes after dropping in her final putt. Tournament Director Zach Shafer also gives us his thoughts on the event and the logistics that went into managing the rain delays. Finally, the crew from Jomez Productions sits down to talk about their first year touring and producing full time.

The Final Round Radio East crew made the three hour drive down to Augusta, GA for the 2017 PDGA Pro World Championships, and yes, we drove the RV. It was very comfortable.  The Friday rounds at Worlds were held at the International Disc Golf Center in nearby Appling. After a grueling 18 holes in the Georgia summer heat, Andy Goh, Kevin Burgess and Pat Bowles sat down with some of the players coming off the course. In this episode, you'll hear from Josh Anthon, Simon Lizotte (and his dad), and Augusta pro Josh Childs. We'll be on the ground at Fort Gordon where Saturday's final round will be held. Expect another episode with more interviews with some of the top names in disc golf.

The Final Round Radio East crew gets a special guest on the show today, as Charlotte Mecklenburg Parks and Recreation Superintendent Peter Cook is on the hot seat. Our first non-disc golf specific guest, Peter talks about the relationship between the Charlotte disc golf community and the Parks and Rec department, and how it led to Charlotte being a destination for disc golf. This episode is a shorty, just about 45 minutes with Peter, so no lead card, Par 4 or Final 9. Be sure to tune in next week as we travel down to Augusta, GA for the 2017 PDGA World Championship. We'll be recording Friday and Saturday nights at Worlds, so expect two episodes next weekend.

"Big Jerm" Jeremy Koling makes his record fourth appearance on Final Round Radio in Episode 77. After making a stop in his hometown of Charlotte after an early season road trip that saw him win the Waco Charity Open, Jerm has plenty to talk about with Andy Goh, "Big Wave" Dave George and Pat Damn Bowles of Final Round Radio East. In the lead card, we recap several local events, including the first official tournament at the newly reopened Hornets Nest. Pat Bowles also recaps the Texas States and Jonesboro Open. In the Par 4 (sponsored by NoDa Brewing Company), we talk about how the video coverage by Jomez Productions is setting new standards in disc golf, as well as what disc golf clubs can do to foster better relationships with their local parks and recreation departments. In the Ring of Fire, Jerm talks about his new venture into disc golf commentary and podcasting. We also explore what it's like for him to witness a hilariously disproportionate amount of aces.
