I came across an article back in November of 2021 about a Ribbon Cutting ceremony for a new disc golf course at Georgia Southern Armstrong. The article mentioned a new disc golf club that was open for students to join. I thought it was interesting for a college to be supportive of disc golf and posted on the disc golf answer man Facebook page to see if anyone happened to live there that I could contact and ask some questions about the new course. Someone commented that Wes Johnson was in the photo from the article and that he was hired on as a disc golf team coach. I thought this would make for a great interview to find out what is going on with this college and hire a disc golf coach. I reached out to Wes and he said that the program was in the very early stages and thought it might be better to wait until later to talk about the program. I reached out in June of this year and Wes said the coaching has gone great and that his students played in their first tournament.

I asked Wes to be on the disc golf answer man to learn a little bit more about how this program got started, how he put together a coaching plan, and what it is like coaching students about disc golf.
