Toad's From 1B "I think it's awesome," said the 2012 Players Cup Champion Wysocki of the course. "I've never played in Utah before, and Jade's done a great job designing the course. The course design and everything is really awesome." Schusterick appreciated the element of overlapping the course with the traditional golf course, and hopes the trend continues in the future. "It's a really good course. I'm glad to see golf and disc golf next to each other," he said. "I think that they coincide really well, and I hope that a lot of places around here and around the country take it and do it on their golf course as well." Amateur World Champion Paul Ulibarri says that the sport continues to grow, even tapping into the vein of collegiate athletics. "It's getting into schools finally. We have a collegiate program that its just taking off, I think we have 20 colleges that produce scholarships for kids to go to school and play," said Ulibarri. "The progression of the game is exploding. I think a couple of years ago we were the second fastest growing sport behind lacrosse. We're growing, and I think the sky's the limit." Schusterick says that the sport is appealing more and more to the youth, giving it momentum. "You can really see the growth of the sport based on the age number," said Schusterick. "A lot of younger kids are getting in it, and they're getting really good to the point where they're 17, and have been playing for 10 years. Their parents are growing them to be disc golfers. There's a lot of people that grow up to be basketball, baseball players or golfers, nowadays it's a lot of people who are growing up to be disc golfers. There's going to be a lot people that just keep that trend going, and I think in the future you'll see just a lot of young people in disc golfing." Coming off of a tournament appearance in Idaho Falls, which included a $5,000 prize for first place, the three pros will practice and compete together across the country. "Sometimes we split up and go to different tournaments, but when we're at the same tournament we're over there practicing with each other, feeding off each other's competitive practice, and we all try and learn a little bit from each other," said Wysocki. "You can always learn from somebody, especially when we're all pretty good, the best in the sport. That's usually who you want to help you out, we really push each other in competition." As top professionals in the sport, they individually make about $30,000 each year in earnings from tournament wins, with sponsorships on top of that. "There's a lot of sponsorship in disc golf," said Schusterick. "There's mostly right now disc golf companies, inside of disc golf, but I think inside of the next two years, there will be a company outside of disc golf like a shoe company or a clothing company that sponsors a lot of the young, up and coming people. There actually is a really big following for disc golf, and once they see the opportunity to market their product with the young kids growing up. I think that will really really open up a lot of companies interest." Another professional on hand for the day was Mike Milne of Bountiful, who's been involved in the sport for almost 20 years. "I'm a little bit older, but I can still compete," said Milne. "I'm 48 years old and I'm competing with 22-year-olds. I'm not saying I'm a louse, but I definitely got some game left in me and I can compete against these guys." Milne says that having the talent of the three pros at the course for the day not only helps the community better understand the sport itself, but what it requires to be successful in it. "It's a really good opportunity for the folks that are here today to go out and see what's going on," said Milne. "And with these guys specifically, how good you have to be to actually play this game." The grand opening of the course is Nov. 1, with a single- round tournament open to the public.
