The MVP Open was wild. What's up, disgenerates? It's the Discov World. I'm Jefferson alongside me, the one with all the holes in this game, Swiss cheese, breaking down everything you need to know from the MVP Open. We don't have any time to waste, so smack that subscribe button and let's get into the action. Maple Hill is the golden standard for a disc golf event thanks to Steve Dodge, who, if you don't know, is the certified Willy Wonka of our sport.

One of the biggest things I advocate for is added amenities to courses to make them harder. And I'm always combed by disc golf isn't mini golf.
