Who is this guy??

[TreeLove]

Just a world record distance holder, that's all!

He came through and gave clinics; I attended both at Milo & Dabney, he clanged the basket at Milo by the river from the parking lot with a magnet!

And he Ace hole 6 (right placement) at Dabney during the clinics :rockon:

[cefire]

World record distance holder both forehand and backhand - pretty sure the forehand record still stands!?!

World class player on top of that.

[Sam]

I understand that the guys' hands are freakin' HUGE.

[Uhlman]

I understand that the guys' hands are freakin' HUGE.

how big are his hands... I mean I have large hands and I can't even throw nearly that far yet.

[Tennessee]

BILL BRASKY!!!!!!
I mean SCOTT STOKELY!!!!!

[hyzerbomb]

I remember telling Scott to come join us to play disc golf in 1979 when he was half his current height. Scott held the world distance record for a long time and was a very good golfer. He has had injuries affecting his ability to compete at his highest level. Sounds a lot like me except I never held a world record.

[chanman]

Why isnt he a PDGA member though?

[Chuck Kennedy]

Scott is PDGA #3140 but his last rated round was in April 2004 and he hasn't renewed since then. He ended up with a 992 rating but was over 1000 when active.

[RonTheWhip]

Chandler, I can't belive you dont know who Scott Stokely is! I mean, I'd be hard pressed to pick him out of a line up (never met the guy), but I know who he is! When did you start golfing!?

[JMan]

And why does he have to be a pdga member?

[olydiscgolf]

BILL BRASKY!!!!!!
Im mean SCOTT STOKELY!!!!!

I seen him eat a cue ball! Didn't even use a knife! Just his bare hands and teeth and a little salt! Bill Brasky!!!!

[chanman]

I started disc golfing 6 years ago, and I kind of knew who he was. I saw his website and noticed that he had a bunch of records which I couldnt verify anywhere on the web. I wanted to see what everyone else knew about him. To answer Jman, I think that a person of that staure in the world of disc golf should be a PDGA member, I mean, why not?

[Magilla]

Question to YOU, Chandler....:rolleyes2:

If you were at the TOP of the Disc Golf game....and were used to winning just about EVERYTHING you entered....
Then your body deteriated to the popint that you COULDNT play at anywhere near the level you are used to. ie SERIOUS elbow & shoulder pain, etc...

Would YOU still be a PDGA member 5 yrs later? :confused:

Scott was a great player.....BUT his use of the "sidearm" caught up with him.
:eek:

I can still remember him getting MARRIED at Top of the World during the Masters Cup in '93.
:D

:cheers:

[olydiscgolf]

Maybe they should retire his number

[chanman]

Understood. So, He doesnt play at all anymore?

[Magilla]

Maybe they should retire his number

:chinscratch:

He will SURELY make the Hall of Fame, in time.....

:cheers:

I've heard stories of ridiculous shots on Geezer at Lakewood when he was doing a clinic here years ago. I think one was parking it with a sky roller that touched down around where the short pin placement is. (Once again, somebody correct me if I'm remembering wrongly.)

[chanman]

Man, I wish I was around when he was playing. By the sound of it, he was an incredible player.

[Chuck Kennedy]

I was his random doubles partner in the late 90s. He threw a sky roller that went at least 300 feet before landing (measured it).

[Nate Sexton]

Scott taught me the X-step at a clinic in Corvallis in 2001 maybe, never saw anyone throw near as far as he did at that clinic. He was the first top pro I ever saw throw and certainly inspired me to practice and play more.

[TYVEK]

Man, I wish I was around when he was playing. By the sound of it, he was an incredible player.

Dude, dont fret you are heading in the direction of being the next "scott stokely" or even better than him. Chandler you might not realize it, but you have the makings of a true champion.

[Ken Smith]

Man, I wish I was around when he was playing. By the sound of it, he was an incredible player.

Jackie Chan(man): Check out the PDGA worlds DVDs (I have videos) where Stokely was in the final 9 (I think in the late-90s or so). Tall guy, about 6'7", really lanky, incredible whip (sorry Dion) from both wings, and appears to be a very polite, considerate guy (something else you appear to have in common with him). Check it out ... very good competitor.

I didn't know Stokely either, only stories of him. That's what I get for starting to play disc golf late in life. On the good side, I DO know ChanMan, and someday I can tell stories of my own about having golfed with and seen the kid when he first exploded on the scene. :trophy:

[olydiscgolf]

I can't wait to tell the stories too! I remember way back in 2008 when I beat that Chandler Fry guy at his home course!

[chanman]

HEY hey hey. That was a secret Chris...

[DoubleDees]

HEY hey hey. That was a secret Chris...

Stokely was the first person to break 600' and was an amazing golfer. Was one of the top 4 players int he world. When he came through and did the clinic here in Kennewick i was already throwing really far. He helped me out with some grip changes that would curb some of my power. He also showed me a grip that he used for distance.... My hands arent small, yet they small enough I cant use his grip. Next time I see you Chandler remind me and we can see if your hands are big enough :) This guys sidearm was absolutely nuts!!! The guy was 6'7" and kind of awkward but he could make the disc go forever!!!!

And why does he have to be a pdga member?

Why ask why because he is.......

i was with Ed Dopplemyer and Nick Johnson at the 99 Am Worlds in KC. They had set up a clinic for us at Rosedale. They had a radar gun setup with the Tennis courts behind it. they had us about 25' or so from the net, well Scott was standing about 10'-15' away from the net when Ed let 1 go just a little late....it caught him right in the chest/shoulder...:shocked:

He just shook it off and said no worries :trophy:

You know how much that had to hurt........:angry:


:cheers:
