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!

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

World class player on top of that.

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.

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.

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!?

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?

Question to YOU, Chandler....

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?

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


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

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.)

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