Show October 21, 2014 Disc golf pros breaking in a new course Toad's plays host to 'best in the world' By BRANDON GARSIDE Standard-Examiner staff MARRIOTT- SLATERVILLE— To gear up for the grand opening of their 18-hole disc golf course, Toad's Fun Zone hosted three Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) professionals to play the course with other enthusiasts and hold a clinic to teach the basics of the growing sport. "They're the best in the world. Literally the top 10 in the world. All three of them," said course designer Jade Sewell. "It's huge for Utah. Utah's getting ready to explode on the disc golf scene. I didn't think it was possible to get these three guys here to be honest. They happened to be three hours away and we got them." Will Schusterick, 22, Paul Ulibarri, 26 and Ricky Wysocki, 21, are all sponsored by disc golf company Prodigy Disc. They tour the country and sometimes travel internationally to compete in disc golf tournaments for a living. "Everybody has a dream of doing something at the highest level," said two-time U.S. Champion Schusterick. "When I was a kid I always wanted to play in the big tournaments, and now I'm to a point where I win the big tournaments that I went to." The three professionals played the course with some lucky fans, and were impressed with what they saw.
