The Disc Golf Guy - Vlog #102 - Valarie Jenkins Ready to Practice for The Memorial
The Disc Golf Guy joins forces with fellow Disc Nation team member Valerie Jenkins, three-time world champion Val, to prepare for The Memorial disc golf tournament. After a windy drive from Vegas, they arrive at Fountain Hills just in time for late afternoon practice on a Monday. With 30-40 mph winds and a challenging layout, the duo faces an uphill battle, but are determined to get in some good practice before the big event. Val brings her A-game, including backups, to minimize losses. The team recalls their recent trip to Vegas, where they faced new course conditions and unpredictable weather. With 20mph less wind forecasted for the next day, they'll need to capitalize on accurate shots and strategic play. Join The Disc Golf Guy as he shares insights from his practice session with Val at Fountain Hills, and get a sneak peek into their preparation strategy for The Memorial.
