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.
