Discgolfer Magazine


A few months ago I was reading an issue of discgolfer magazine...
I'm one of those dudes that like to throw Frisbees – and read about it.


While reading, an article idea came to mind. I had been watching 
a lot of disc golf videos on YouTube and I noticed only a 
few channels exhibited quality footage. I decided I was qualified 
enough to write a sort of "how to" article in the hopes 
that more quality disc golf videos would 
begin showing up on the Internet.

I wrote up a query. I contacted the editor.

I waited.

A few weeks later, after a round at El Dorado disc golf course, I
received the call. The editor said he liked my idea and after
working out some details I went home and started working.

I turned in my final draft a few weeks later and then
I waited again.

Another couple of weeks passed and then I received it. 
The new summer issue of the magazine arrived with my two-page 
spread splashed all over page 54 and 55.

Normally I would post the text, but I'm sure it wouldn't be interesting
to most of the folks that check this blog.
So, if you want to read it then I'll let you check out the
magazine next time I see you.

Unless, I don't know you – then you'll never see my issue.
I guess you'll have to find your own. Sorry about that.

How exciting!!! You're quite the inspiration to me John. I've written some childrens book but have been too nervous to contact anyone to get them published. You're a good example of no fear dude. I think I should follow your example! Thanks!

Can your next article be on the mal-effects of Disc Golf on the lower back? Prease?
