Our Editor's Take

Tour Life with Brodie Smith and Paul Ulibarri gives disc golf enthusiasts the latest news about the sport and its pro players. Podcast hosts Paul Ulibarri ("Uli") and Brodie Smith are pro disc golfers for Team Discraft. They interview champions, rank courses, discuss earnings, rate players, and compare gear. Brodie and Uli also predict the future of the game that's increasing in popularity.

Host Uli joined the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) in 2005. He's competed in 571 PDGA-sanctioned events with 109 wins. Uli represented Team USA in The President's Cup five times. He founded the Ulibarri Leadership Foundation. Uli is also a JomezPro commentator and a Team Discraft captain. Brodie joined the PDGA in 2019 after two decades playing Ultimate Frisbee. He owns Foundations Disc Golf and Atlas Disc Golf Supply. Brodie is famous for his YouTube trick-shot videos. Tour Life teaches listeners what it takes to play at their level.

One episode of the Tour Life podcast discusses Simon Lizotte's contract with MVP Disc Sports. Lizotte earns a seven-figure salary for ten years plus a six-figure signing bonus. Uli and Brodie review Lizotte's new logo. They explain why players should control the rights to their names. The two also take questions from callers. One asks how to establish a brand. Brodie recommends letting a brand develop organically rather than rushing it. He uses the example of Jack Nicklaus as "The Golden Bear."

Matt Orum visits the Tour Life podcast after his 2023 MVP Open win. His interview is insightful and emotional. Matt's father, an admired disc golf shop owner, died in 2020. Matt discusses how much people loved him. Another episode analyzes the 2023 Disc Golf Pro Tour Championship. Uli explains why Nevin Park is the most challenging course of the year. He shot thirteen over par during practice. Uli says there's no strategy for that course. It's in the woods and has tight fairways and long holes. The cohosts agree that the winner earns every dollar.

New episodes of Tour Life with Brodie Smith and Paul Ulibarri come out every Wednesday.
