Tom Schot has lived in Santa Cruz most of his life. His love affair with Frisbees began in the early 70's while throwing Black Master Frisbees. His first experience at a major disc event was in 1974 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. That event inspired his vision for the World DiscGames.

Tom both designed his first disc golf course and produced his first tournament, "The Mulligan Open" at Cabrillo College. In 1977 he designed and installed 18 holes at the University of California in Santa Cruz. It was only a year later that Tom invited Ken Westerfield to help produce the "Santa Cruz Flying Disc Classic," an over-all tournament that became the first of nine World Disc Championships that would follow. Tom went through many hardships in those nine years, from dealing with TV (CBS) to accommodating competitors from all over the world. "My experience with disc sports, from designing and installing disc golf courses to producing world tournaments has prepared me fully for the World Disc Games. I have heard many players say, ‘The World Disc Championships were the best over-all tournaments ever produced'.

Tom founded the first Ultimate team in Santa Cruz and the Northern California Ultimate League in 1979. He has been passionately dedicated to this sport for the last 25 years. "In the 60's and 70's disc sports were just a fad. Now the fad has diminished into the birth of our sport.

Two of Tom’s greatest feats have been to design the world renowned Delaveaga Disc Golf Course and start the "Master's Cup Disc Golf Championships" which have been held annually in Santa Cruz for the past 17 years. In 1991, Tom won the PDGA Grand Master's World Championships and was inducted into the Disc Golf Hall of Fame in 2000.

"""@@@@<|m""""""""$[h8"""""""&""""""ype@1<mZ""""""""""m""""DDTom Schot: Hi, I am Tom Schot, the CEO of World Disc Sports, member of Disc Golf Hall of Fame, and an avid disc golfer. Now that I have shown you how to play golf, . Wwe have gone overt to work on few things, . I am going to be showing you some exercises to improve your the game.</p><p>One of the things, you can do and you can do this at your house, you can do this anywhere. You want to improve your arm speed. Arm speed is really important on throwing the disc. You get the disc from here to here as fast as you can. What I have done. I have gotten some surgical tubing. . tThat hey comes in different colors. So you get the blue surgical tubing, that has got the right tensile strength, you can tie it to a door knobs, you can tie it to a tree. You can put it on your fender of your car. And then you just pull through like 20 rips at a time. The further you get back, the more tension you put on the tubing, the more you work your muscles.</p><p>So that is a really good exercise before you are going to go out and play. You can be stretching your arm. aAlso, you want to stretch your hamstrings, you want to keep your legs stretched out, when you are playing because when you are driving and you need that extra power, you have got to be able to push off that back foot, you have to be able to have confidence in your legs. That you are going to be able to have a good footing when you throw.</p><p>I want to thank you for watching this segment on disc golf. I hope you have learned something. I love this game. I know that you will find $8 and go buy a disc and go to the nearest course and you are going to have the same addiction that I have. Thank you very much. -#$(+^dhm~.</p><p>.</p><p>.</p><p>(c)(r)ui]Qh2CJOJQJaJhV=%CJOJQJaJhCqZCJOJQJaJhdCJOJQJaJ5h}h(r)WCJOJQJaJcHdhdhdhS#HhSh(r)WCJOJQJaJ5h}h(r)WCJOJQJaJcHdhdhdhRh5CJOJQJaJh}CJOJQJaJhJCJOJQJaJ#HhRh(r)WCJOJQJaJghxy$a$gdQ1/4.</p><p>01;<(r)"i"i"]B"6h9CJOJQJaJ5hQh(r)WCJOJQJaJcHdhdhdhShQCJOJQJaJ5h}h(r)WCJOJQJaJcHdhdhdhSh}CJOJQJaJhl+CJOJQJaJ#HhSh(r)WCJOJQJaJ5h=KGh(r)WCJOJQJaJcHdhdhdhS5hl+h(r)WCJOJQJaJcHdhdhdhS5h2h(r)WCJOJQJaJcHdhdhdhS<DKS]^_cjow$().</p><p>=?</p><p>@ABGKOPTd-mRmm5h9h(r)WCJOJQJaJcHdhdhdhT5h-h(r)WCJOJQJaJcHdhdhdhTh-h-CJOJQJaJ5h}h(r)WCJOJQJaJcHdhdhdhT#HhTh(r)WCJOJQJaJh}CJOJQJaJh CJOJQJaJhJ_CJOJQJaJh9CJOJQJaJh4%CJOJQJaJdehilpt}"-"" """|"mOC"h9CJOJQJaJ;h}|h}|h(r)WCJOJQJaJcHdhdhdhTh}|h}|CJOJQJaJh}|CJOJQJaJh>SCJOJQJaJh4CJOJQJaJh4h4CJOJQJaJhCJOJQJaJh}CJOJQJaJ#HhTh(r)WCJOJQJaJ5h-h(r)WCJOJQJaJcHdhdhdhTh-CJOJQJaJ:@Q"!
