On April 12th, 2014, our club held a Discraft Clinic hosted by Mark Ellis! Mark is a long-time Discraft professional, instructor, and ambassador of the game. He was joined by Ziggy Bierekoven, the president of our club who has been a pro since the age of 15; and Matt Rinker, president of the Capital City Renegades. The three pros first had a discussion where they gave tips about the sport in general, offered insight on different techniques, and answered any questions. After that, they broke into different groups based off of what people wanted to learn. Ziggy covered distance throws, Matt covered putting, and Mark went over the art of the upshot. After the individual lessons, Mark hosted a competition to win Discraft "swag" - which included countless discs and apparel. By the end of the day, everyone who attended walked out with a prize and countless new knowledge of the sport.
We want to give a big thanks to Discraft and Mark Ellis for hosting this clinic and providing all of the prizes! It is the support by fantastic companies and ambassadors like them that will help the MSU DGC and the sport of disc golf grow in a positive manner.
