The sports keeps moving forward in new and excited direction, and in the last few years we have start talking about disc golf fitness.
And there is one person that really have been the spearhead for this move, and that is Seth Munsey.
He is the man behind Disc Golf Strong, focusing on helping both pro`s and am`s in building their body to be the best it can be, within the sport.
This is a talk about how and why he started this journey.

After a very successful start to the 2019 season, Seppo Paju had to drop the President Cup and European Open.
We had a talk with him about this situation just before Worlds, and his way back after a tougher tournament at Tyyni than he planned.
We also talk about his impressive vlog streak, as well as his new favorite US candy.

Thank you to our Patron supporters, a great pro tip from Seppo will be launched exclusively to you soon.

European Open 2019 was one of the most epic tournaments we have seen in a very long time, and with all the usual suspect there was one name everyone was talking about in the end: Albert Tamm from Estonia.

We sat down and talk to this young estonian, about his experience, fighting on the leadcard, his development the last few years and of course: his signature move: The Bazooka.

This is the 12 episode of The Perfect Flight, recorded after a long Tyyni week.
This year we do not talk about the results, the players or the course that much, as the media team of Tyyni have done a great job covering all of that both in audio and video.

But we rather talk to some of the more interesting characters at the tournament, that have a big impact but maybe not in the most public eye. So we talked to Terry Miller, The Disc Golf Guy, about Tyyni, his coverage of female disc golf and the development of disc golf media in recent years.
We also talked to the media manager at Latitude 64, Johannes Högberg, about how Tyyni is impacting them and how they see the common future together.
