The Story of Disc Golf Legend: Barry Schultz

March 22, 2022 By Nicholas Off

If there was ever a Mount Rushmore of disc golf, Barry Schultz’s face would be etched in history. Schultz has been a consistent figure in the disc golf world since the early 90’s and has been a part of history via his sponsorship deal with Innova. Schultz is known as being a smooth backhand throwing rightie from Wisconsin. He was a contemporary of the greatest player in disc golf history; Ken Climo. Their epic battles made each other better and elevated the sport through the 90’s and early 2000’s. Simply put, without Schultz there would be no Climo. The modern era of the game we know today is piled upon the shoulders of Schultz, Climo and many who came before them.

Raymond’s Review: Rogue RHW-100 Electric Hand Warmer

February 24, 2022 By Raymond Off

I found myself obsessing about keeping my hand warm just as much as keeping it dry.

What It’s Like Being a Rogue Ninja

February 8, 2022 By Marcus Off

With disc golf becoming more mainstream and receiving more media attention, sponsors are fighting to sign top athletes so they can capitalize on marketing opportunities with popular players. Even non-disc golf manufacturers like Infinite Discs are signing top players like Drew Gibson for a lifetime deal worth millions.
