new disc golf pro shop in Madison, Wisconsin

[Mike_Batka]

I'm very excited to announce that Madison will have a new disc golf pro shop - glide.  One of its missions is to become the premiere disc golf pro shop in Wisconsin and Northern Illinois.  Many of you may recognize the name glide from the disc golf clothing line created by Madison's Derek Wagener in 2001.  Derek and I are relaunching the glide line so keep an eye out for great new stuff at the pro shop and online.  A website is currently under construction.  I'll post an announcement when it's up and running for everyone's viewing pleasure.  The pro shop will be located across the street from Hiestand Park at 4222 Milwaukee St.  For those of you who remember A Disc's Throw, glide will be located in the same unit.  A soft opening is planned for mid April with a grand opening to coincide with Hiestand's baskets going back in after the Spring thaw - around May 1st.  The website's launch will be around the the same time.  More information will follow.  We're very excited about becoming an integral part of Madison's already great disc golf scene and seeing many familiar faces from Northern Illinois.

thats cool, any extra madison tournaments to coincide?

[Mike_Batka]

Thanks, nothing extra planned for 2008.  The main focus will be getting the shop up and running.  However, I first got involved promoting disc golf by running tournaments so I may look at running something in the Madison area in 2009.

Nice Mike, good luck with your venture..  BTW, I need to cover up my "a disc throw" bumper sticker...  a Glide one should do. Those Glide shirts i got back in 2001 are looking a little worn also...

Hey Shawn-

Thanks for well wishes.  Cover?  About a glide sticker next to A Disc's Throw!  There will be more shirts in new colors.  I look forward to seeing you this Spring.

Big news...bigger shop. Glide has moved the pro shop to a much larger space in the same building. We're now directly inside door 3. Stop by to check it out. More discs. We'll soon be stocking MVP & Westside. Glide will also be buying & selling used discs. More bags. We'll soon have almost 50 unique model/color combos to choose from. More baskets/targets. More Glide gear including some great new designs. Please bare with us over the next month or two as we settle into our new digs. Our sincerest thanks for your support over the past four seasons. We're looking forward to many more!
