Global Disc Golf - Legends of the Valley

What's your proudest DGV-related accomplishment? Winning the Pro Tour Champions Cup

What's your favorite DGV course? Lost Island. There are some fun chances for bonus eagles, a couple downhill bombs, and the course is just aesthetically pleasing.

What's your favorite DGV hole? Kaho Park 6. It always feels good pureing the forehand gap over the water but there is still enough danger, especially in 2+ winds, to make you think about it.

What two discs would go in your Team Series pack? Wind Glide Recoil / Roll Glide Ballista Pro

If you could add/change one thing about DGV, what would it be? Being able to buy a specific mold, attributes, and color in the pro shop if you have enough coin.

Any other DGV accomplishments? 120 Daily wins and 2 time World Rating leader

Outside of DGV, what are you best at? Skateboarding. I don't do it as much as I used to but I used to skate basically everyday for years before I started playing disc golf.

Describe your custom layout: Dbargs Downfall: My layout features some of the best downhill shots in DGV. I organized the layout in order of difficulty, so it starts out tough but eases up towards the end. Just don't let it be your "downfall" in season 2!

What's your proudest DGV-related accomplishment? High Rating

What's your favorite DGV course? Downtown, because I like to root for the outsider.

What's your favorite DGV hole? FV2? I really like its extents.

What two discs would go in your Team Series pack? AW Fuse and WG Recoil

If you could add/change one thing about DGV, what would it be? I want MP cards with players of similar calibers! And more bag slots!!

Outside of DGV, what are you best at? Debating?! Ha!

Describe your custom layout: Jackal's Joyride: My layout contains holes I think of most when it comes to deciding a round between two (or more) opponents. You can get little bonus strokes or just take the likely number most of us will shoot most of the time! ;)

What's your proudest DGV-related accomplishment? I was the 5th player to become #1 in the World (May 2021) and share this achievement with only 6 other players.

What's your favorite DGV course? Lost Island. There is plenty of natural scoring separation for elite players and where else can I throw through a massive dinosaur skeleton?

What's your favorite DGV hole? HW7. It reminds me of the spider tree we have at Oak Grove (the world’s first permanent disc golf course - near Pasadena, CA) and it’s always a satisfying skip ace when you hit it.

What two discs would go in your Team Series pack? GS Rive & LG Rive (the farthest non-roller disc & the farthest in-air disc). They are not available as CTV rewards so this is the most lucrative combo I can think of.

If you could add/change one thing about DGV, what would it be? Customizable Events (we could see the DGV community deepen and expand through things like pay to play weeklies & monthlies, random partner dubs, etc. - basically recreating all of my favorite rl events in DGV)

Any other DGV accomplishments?

🥇in DGVPT Elite Series 2021 (6 consecutive PTs - 216 holes)

22-3 (W-L) record in heads up bracket play

First player to shoot -13 on FV & LI (and didn’t grind for either one)

Finals in Disc Golf Valleague Beta (Disc In A Box)

Semifinals in Disc Golf Valleague S1 (Four Guy Grind)

Finals in HOF Team Tournament (Led Zeppelines)

Cliff Jumper (the first ever DGV Music Video)

Outside of DGV, what are you best at? Songwriting. One of my bands, Pegasis, actually made an EP called “Fantasy Game” with multiplatinum producer Jim Wirt (Incubus, Hoobastank) and it’s available on all major streaming services (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.). I’d love it if y’all would check it out and lmk what you think!

Describe your custom layout: Aro's Tricky Throwins (Putters Only): Tricky Throwins goes in order from easiest to hardest (if you go for the best possible score on every hole). Every single hole has potential for two stroke swings. The first four holes are a Crow’s Nest sandwich of eagleable holes, the last four holes are a Coyote Canyon sandwich of birdieable holes, and LS8 is the island hole in the middle (so the whole layout is also a sandwich). I wanted to create a layout that will test even the most elite players, even if they practice it until they’re blue in the face.

What's your proudest DGV-related accomplishment? Getting 5 aces on the Cajun Ace Race!!!!

What's your favorite DGV course? Downtown. Because it’s the perfect balance of difficulty and rewarding.

What's your favorite DGV hole? Harrowing Woods hole 9. Getting the albatross on that hole feels super rewarding! And it’s just a cool hole.

What two discs would go in your Team Series pack? Acc/Roll Musket and WB/Skip Ballista ⚜️⛓

If you could add/change one thing about DGV, what would it be? Add an “ELEVATION TO PIN” marker!! Do it!

Any other DGV accomplishments? Held a top 10 spot on the World Leaderboard and the 🚫🍒 Leaderboard at the same time!

Outside of DGV, what are you best at? Training dogs and crazy anhyzer putts.

Describe your custom layout: Cajun Ace Race: It’s all about chasing chains!! How many can you get?!

What's your proudest DGV-related accomplishment? Winning the Virtual European Open

What's your favorite DGV course? This answer used to be Oak Hill. I like eagles😊. These days I would have to say Lost Island because it's challenging and fun to play. Very visually appealing, and who doesn't want to throw at dragons' skeletons???

What's your favorite DGV hole? Kaho Park 2 because of the risk/reward aspect of it. Could be a 2 could be a 12 (also known as a "bagger" unfortunately 😐).

What two discs would go in your Team Series pack? Accurate Sticky Judge and Glide Turn Rive (not saying Fuse because that's too obvious 😉).

If you could add/change one thing about DGV, what would it be? New theme song.

Any other DGV accomplishments? First solo Daily win. Beating David Sallee in multiplayer.

Outside of DGV, what are you best at? Decent at IRL disc golf but by no means a pro. I'm a pretty good father and friend. Overthinking is one of my strong suits. I'm also hilarious🤣🤣

Describe your custom layout: Bagger's Ace Race: I was tasked with making another ace race layout. Cajun ace race was already a layout. I couldn't use any of those holes. As a result my ace race layout is a bit tougher, and some of the ace runs are a bit more risky.

What's your proudest DGV-related accomplishment? Winning GDG season 2 against such a skilled field!

What's your favorite DGV course? Frozen Valley! Bad groundplay isn’t a factor here, the eagles are in reach but not gimmie’s, and the design is well thought out.

What's your favorite DGV hole? Frozen Valley #4 because it’s a fun tee shot to slide up for eagle but gives lots of risk reward. I also love the new drop zone which encourages you to run the eagle!

What two discs would go in your Team Series pack? Accurate/Wind Break Pioneer and Accurate/Wind Break Keystone

If you could add/change one thing about DGV, what would it be? Bag tags and swag! I’m sure everyone would love to show off their challenge badges, PT wins, and other random swag won from the game in a “bag tag” section. If people could spend their coins on virtual custom bag options like colors and looks then that would also be really cool. I know I would be stoked to express myself in game that way!

Any other DGV accomplishments? 3x Hops and Hyzer winner, Valleague team captain

Outside of DGV, what are you best at? Probably giving epic scratches to my spoiled dogs or my knowledge of musical equipment. I also love crocheting beanies, baking sourdough bread and cheesecakes, and playing guitar.

Describe your custom layout: Reese's Thesis: This layout is about having a game-plan and sticking to it, even when expectations fall short and your mental game is tested. Everyone wants the glory of a hot round, but playing your opponents’ mistakes could also be the smartest way to securing separation. What will you choose?

What's your proudest DGV-related accomplishment? Being on top of AI-tournament record list

What's your favorite DGV course? Crows Nest. Risk/reward ace runs, couple easy eagles, and nice bonus stroke opportunities.

What's your favorite DGV hole? Kaho Backwoods 8. Beautiful hole, a true par 4, skip musket can give a nice eagle from 350ft.

What two discs would go in your Team Series pack? Accurate/Glide Musket, Wind/Turn Ballista Pro

If you could add/change one thing about DGV, what would it be? Finally fixing the banner/wall leaner ob thingy on every hole it comes into play........At least KP4, KP8 and PB9.

Any other DGV accomplishments? HOF team tournament win, 1168 mp average, BT putters only -11, all courses 3-starred with only muskets, Owlwood course record by 2 strokes, Solo pt win by 3 strokes (Pro Div).

Outside of DGV, what are you best at? Playing piano, fencing refereeing.

Describe your custom layout: Jonni's Musket Madness: Musket friendly layout: offers some nice musket lines, both off the tee and second shot.

What's your proudest DGV-related accomplishment? Seemingly having inspired new CTV courses with screenshot alters.

What's your favorite DGV course? Downtown. I actually don't much like the city environment nor care about the glow effects. I like all the fairly difficult eagle holes and that there aren't many boring par 3's. It's just fun to play. That, and the Ferris wheels could be traced back to an early alter I made.

What's your favorite DGV hole? I don't think I have a favorite.

What two discs would go in your Team Series pack? Heavy/Sticky Keystone & Turn/Wind Ballista Pro

If you could add/change one thing about DGV, what would it be? Random draw best score doubles.

Any other DGV accomplishments? Almost 100 "Altered" screenshots (some of which may have actually inspired CTV course creations, DGVPP Annual Member of the Year Poll, Most Legendary DGV Player Poll, Group Letter to Per/Suggestion Upvoting, first group AI 750 spreadsheet, Foster Points, Straight732 Tournament, Real Cash Challenges, probably other stuff I can't remember.

Outside of DGV, what are you best at? Magic the Gathering (modern, casual), Chess, Blokus, disc golf, billiards

Describe your custom layout: Freya's Fracas: I focused on making a layout that made sense if you played it IRL in terms of elevation change. So if we go up a hill, we get to throw down a hill. I inserted a "flat" hole between each up hole and down hole.

What's your proudest DGV-related accomplishment? Winning 6 of 11 Pro Tours while securing the highest rating at the time.

What's your favorite DGV course? Lost Island- It combines a wonderful fantastical aesthetic with interesting competitive hole design.

What's your favorite DGV hole? Lost Island 8- A breathtaking journey of risk and reward.

What two discs would go in your Team Series pack? Accurate Roll Explorer & Accurate Wind Break Fuse

If you could add/change one thing about DGV, what would it be? Disc acquisition overhaul. Let players choose specific molds/attributes that will costs certain amounts of coins/exp, and let them choose/customize stamps and colors.

Any other DGV accomplishments? 2nd ever -18 on Oak Hill, 5 aces in a non-daily tournament round (Cajun Ace Race, not live), ended David's 70 day daily tournament streak during the Forgotten Days

Outside of DGV, what are you best at? Fitness and critical thinking.

Describe your custom layout: Draino's Dichotomy: Some of the most journeysome holes in the game juxtaposed with the dinkiest ace runs (no more than 1 hole per course).

What's your proudest DGV-related accomplishment? That I've been able to climb my way up to be one of the top players of the game with so many other very skilled individuals up there.

What's your favorite DGV course? Lakeside. I like the scenery and the par 3s are fun to ace run.

What's your favorite DGV hole? Owlwood 8. Very unique shaped par 4 and throwing a successful roller on that hole is very satisfying.

What two discs would go in your Team Series pack? Acc/Roll River and Acc/Skip Grace

If you could add/change one thing about DGV, what would it be? I would add leaderboards for everything. Rating, aces, MP wins, PT wins etc.

Outside of DGV, what are you best at? I'm best at shutting off my alarm and sleeping a couple more hours.

Describe your custom layout: Jirma's Jaunt: Difficult but possible aces and difficult but possible bonus eagles.

What's your proudest DGV-related accomplishment? Winning the Global Disc Golf League!

What's your favorite DGV course? Ikigai, it's the newest course, and I'm tired of grinding the old ones. And it looks great!

What's your favorite DGV hole? DT3, that hole gave me the 2021 VDDO tiebreak win over Joucii.

What two discs would go in your Team Series pack? EMac Judge and EG/R Rive. Both Rauta stamped of course!

If you could add/change one thing about DGV, what would it be? Accurate in game leaderboards

Any other DGV accomplishments? Winning Simon Lizotte's Christmas vlog event in 2021

Outside of DGV, what are you best at? Powerlifting and chugging beer.

Describe your custom layout: Rauta's Iron Islands 2.0: Every other fun layout was taken already, so I went with island holes again, hopefully more "fun" and challenging than my first version of Rauta's Iron Islands. 😉

What's your proudest DGV-related accomplishment? Creating and maintaining the DGV User Guide

What's your favorite DGV course? Ikigai Twilight [which David created on Ikigai Springs's map] - Because it was fun to explore the map, and it will probably never get made.

What's your favorite DGV hole? Lakeside #4 - When the Recoil was introduced, I was the first to "Condor" the hole.

What two discs would go in your Team Series pack? Acc Sticky Marlin + Acc Sticky Manta

If you could add/change one thing about DGV, what would it be? Custom Disc Golf Shop, where you can spend coin or a combo coin / achievements to get discs that you actually want, rather than relying on the Random reward system.

Any other DGV accomplishments? First "Contributor" winner on Facebook. Won 122 out of 123 Daily Open Tournaments with streaks of 70 and 52. 74 were solo wins. There's probably a couple of other things.

Outside of DGV, what are you best at? Probably juggling, but I haven't kept up with it as of late.

Describe your custom layout: David's Dilemma: David's Dilemma is a collection of holes that I really feel I have to take a moment and consider the wind before selecting the disc / line. I also tried to create the layout in such a way that it would flow and make sense moving from one hole to the next. They aren't the hardest holes out there, but they should give you an opportunity to vary up what you throw and what like you take to get there. Enjoy!

What's your proudest DGV-related accomplishment? Winning 21 Pro Tour events with a stretch of 5 in a row and 7 of 8. When I was playing regularly during that time, I just felt like I couldn’t lose. The fact it’s been this long and I’m still at/near the top makes me proud of what was no easy task.
A close second would be winning the Elite Series Pro Tour Open, an 8 week marathon where I beat out LonelyBelgian when he was in his prime! I was able to string together finishes of 1,4,2,24,1,8,2 and 2 over 8 consecutive Pro Tours.

What's your favorite DGV course? Crow’s Nest - It has the best mix of holes including changes in elevation (way down, up and around), unique scenery (caves, mountain tops, rock formations), while still being fun and accessible for all player levels.

What's your favorite DGV hole? I don’t know if I have a favorite hole. This may be recency bias, but if forced to choose my favorite current hole to play it would be Ikigai #4. Just an awesome par 4 which follows the trend of what I like in a par 4: not ridiculously long, accessible to many, and a placement shot off the tee that can make the hole easy or hard.

What two discs would go in your Team Series pack? Accurate Wind Fuse and Light Glide Rive.

If you could add/change one thing about DGV, what would it be? Removing the real-life courses, or at least replacing them with “replicas” that keep the same physics as the fantasy courses. Although the idea behind them is sound, I’m not a fan of having two different styles of play within the game.

Any other DGV accomplishments? I’m proud of the content I have put out on my YouTube channel. I’ve always been one to share the knowledge, even though I know it meant giving away tips and tricks and giving other players a competitive advantage. What better way to grow the sport than to share the knowledge! (Forehand throw-ins FTW!)

Outside of DGV, what are you best at? I like to think the 3 things I’m best at involve things that make a successful life: being a good husband, a good father to my two daughters, and a good teacher. The success I have had in the teaching profession has prepared me well for the many contributions to DGV: patience while learning, analytical approach to holes and rounds, and thoughtful expression of ideas and strategies that have made my YouTube channel a success. It’s hard to separate the characteristics that go into everything mentioned since there is so much overlap.

Describe your custom layout: Dr. Urdizzle's Home Remedy: My 9-hole layout was designed with a couple thoughts in mind. First, I enjoy similar holes in DGV to the ones I enjoy in real life: par 4’s that are accessible to many levels of player and require placement tee shots over those that utilize sheer power. I’d take a real-life par 4 that is 550 ft but requires hitting a specific landing zone over one that is wide open and 800 ft long. The par 5’s were picked using a similar thought process: slightly longer, with placement being crucial. Secondly, for the par 3’s, I love “testers” that really make you think about your shot and could wreak havoc if you lose concentration for even a moment (Kaho Park #8). And placing them near the end of the round will make someone in the lead think twice!

What's your proudest DGV-related accomplishment? 1st player to get a 1100+ rating

What's your favorite DGV course? Lakeside. It's a low scoring course with a nice spread between ace-runs, easier eagles and harder eagles with a right amount of risk-reward.

What's your favorite DGV hole? Downtown #4. A challenging but doable drive and feels so nice to get that throw in for the bonus eagle.

What two discs would go in your Team Series pack? AW Fuse & AR Explorer

If you could add/change one thing about DGV, what would it be? Being able to see way more stats in-game.

Any other DGV accomplishments? 1st player to get an all blue card, 1st player getting a -18 on Oak Hill, holding all CTV records at one point, making the 1st trick shot videos.

Outside of DGV, what are you best at? Korfball

Describe your custom layout: Robot's Reboot: Some of the holes that had the biggest changes while I was gone from the game for over a year.
