Joe's Disc Golf

After months of waiting and hours of debate, the PDGA Board of Directors has ratified the gender-eligibility policy for the 2023 season forward. In 2023 transgender women will not be allowed to participate in the FPO division at Pro Majors. At the same time, the Disc Golf Pro Tour said it is adopting the PDGA guidelines for Elite and Silver events for the 2023 season. The policy change is in part a result of the International Olympic Committee guidance that requires individual sports associations determine their own guidelines for transgender participation in their sport. Each sport has created different rules based on the athletic requirements of the activity. Natalie Ryan has started a legal fund, “to fight the anti-trans PDGA Policy.” In a comment Ryan said that all funds, “will be used for legal fees exclusively.” At the time of writing the fund had raised $4,178. This change takes effect January 1, 2023.

Ian and Joe do some experimentation in the episode. We are trying a new video format and as such deal with some technical difficulties. We also begin to uncover a conspiracy that Ricky Wysocki a.k.a.

Sorry for the delay in this episode. There were things that delayed it that were completely out of my control. In this episode I talk about Ricky and his umbrella. I also go over his comments on World's. I give my two cents on how I think World's could be improved in general. I also talk about the GMC results and the dominance of Kristin Tattar and Ohn Scoggins. So much happening in this episode!

I couldn't help myself. That World's trophy was something special. On top of that I talk about Aaron Goosage, Paul McBeth, Kristin Tattar, and Paige Pierce.

Round 2 of the 2022 PDGA Worlds was exciting to watch. On the lead Card we had Kristin Tattar, Ella Hansen, Henna Blomroos, and Jennifer Allen. It was a great battle between Tattar and Hansen. Paige Pierce managed to claw back some of the strokes she gave away in round 1 while Ohn Scoggins made some big moves while battle what appeared to be an ankle injury sustained during the round. I'm trying something new here with the Joe's Disc Golf channel so you will have to let me know what you think.
