Welcome everyone to a Discoff Network exclusive series made by myself, Simon Lazot. I'm here, the producer, the editor, and I am joined by special guest all week long. What's up, disc golf world champion Avery Jenkins. He is obviously a really good disc golfer, and he's a disc golf park course designer.
