Disc Golf on Conan O'Brien

As I searched for videos related to disc golf, I stumbled upon a very funny video. Many late night talk shows have celebrities as guests and they come to get interviewed. One late night talk show that I used to enjoy was Late Night with Conan O'Brien; however, recently Mr. O'Brien took over for Jay Leno on the Tonight Show, so Late Night with Conan O'Brien does not exist. This video that I have posted is from Mr. O'Brien's old show.

As I stated before, most late night talk shows have celebrities as guests, but one of Conan's guests on this night was Dave Feldberg, a professional disc golfer. He came on the show to teach the audience about the game of disc golf and how to throw the disc in different ways. Mr. O'Brien had some funny jokes to make about the sport, but he explained how disc golf had expanded to the Bay Area.

Most of the video was funny because Mr. O'Brien was able to involve the audience during the appearance of Mr. Feldberg. If you don't know, Mr. Feldberg is well-known throughout the disc golf community and he has won many tournaments in his career. I feel like this was another step in the right direction for disc golf. Conan O'Brien is a very popular talk show host and if the sport can be recognized on a show like that, than maybe more people will start to play.
