[@justinpartridge226]

The way sports are these days its so nice to see mutual respect and professionalism displayed, I think Paul is someone even the best players and even his peers can still be a fan of and cheer for and dream of competing against . Have a great year Brodie!

[@sw.]

I met Paul at BSF in 2018 and wanted to get a disc signed by him. I was real brief with my words because I didn't want to bug him too much seeing as he just got done with his round and knew I was his 1000th signature of the weekend. After I timidly asked him for his signature, he took the disc and just held it for a minute and asked what my name was, if I was playing the tournament, where I was from, etc. It was striking that a dude like him would actually take the time to ask questions like that, and you can genuinely tell he cares about the people that support him as a player and as a businessman. He's a total class act and I'm glad he's receiving the recognition (and quite frankly the paycheck) that he deserves.

[@andrewlewis653]

I had the same impression when I met him. Got to see him in a small B tier in Virginia and there was only about 25 fans following his card in ‘17. Shook his hand after his round and went up to the parking lot. He came off the course about 20 min later and walked back up to me and talked to me more asking questions about what I enjoyed about the game. He made a fan for life that day. Real good guy.

[@YashaKoman]

I kind of met him at the 2018 GBO in the men’s restroom about 30 min before his tee time. I was washing my hands and I suddenly realized it was McBeth at the urinal behind me... Me: “I want to ask for an autograph but I guess your hands are busy” (sarcastic tone) Pablo: “hahahaha yea this isn’t the best time” Me: “good luck today” Pablo: “thank you” Later during the round Hannah came and stood next me...so now Paul, Hannah, Harrison and I are basically beat friends and Brodie Smith is jealous of our friendship.

[@coryfisher6088]

I can attest that he was still just as humble and genuine in 2020. I was practicing for the Memorial and threw a disc in the water on hole 9 and tried to get it out with my retriever. This turned into like 2 hours of me searching for my disc, while also helping the pros playing through who had also thrown in the water, so I ended up face-to-face with like 5 or 6 touring pros. Just as I was leaving, Paul McBeth comes jogging over and asks if he could borrow my retriever, and obviously I obliged. After fishing his disc out, he asked me if I was playing the tournament, and then wished me good luck. I know you might be thinking, "well he was just nice to you because you had a retriever." But out of all the pros I talked to that week (including the other ones I helped with my retriever) he was the only one who asked about me and seemed genuinely interested in what I had to say. I've always been a Ricky/Calvin fanboy, but after that moment I couldn't help but be a fan of Paul's. Dude is legitimately humble and will treat every disc golfer with the same respect.

[@EnjoyLife-sg3kt]

@@YashaKoman haha that's crazy!! I feel like the disc golf community is generally very welcoming so it's so cool to hear stories like this that reflect how nice most of the players are! All of that being said, ULI surely would be the #1 nicest player in the PDGA right?

[@EnjoyLife-sg3kt]

@@coryfisher6088 That's super cool man, for real. For whatever reason, I didn't like Paul McBeth when I first started following and playing back in 2012. Truthfully, it's probably because my allegiance to Ricky at the time was so high. Now, I am a huge McBeth fan after seeing how he treats others which is BACKED by stories like yours!! Thanks for the share!

[@slimetime4668]

Paul is freaking awesome....but I hope he worked it in to renegotiate in a few years....because with how the sport is growing, and Paul’s draw he’s going to making them a lot of money...not that he shouldn’t be happy with 10 mil, but there’s a reason discraft is paying him that

[@austinthrowsstuff]

I mean in 5 years he probably doesn’t want to be having to prove himself to be worth a million a year. It would be easy for it to be a subject each year. Now, nobody is thinking anything but discraft and paul. I think it works out on both sides. Even if disc golf gets way bigger, he’s making more money with foundation and playing and other ventures. This is literally just for the discs he throws. He makes a lot of money from other stuff besides his disc deal

[@slimetime4668]

@@austinthrowsstuff I know but it’s also about not getting the short end of the stick, you don’t want to make a company 50+mil a year off your name and only take home 1, and it’s not about proving himself, Paul’s going to be playing at a high level for a long time he’s a competitor and as long as he can feel good playing he’s going to play there’s a reason he’s been busting his ass in the gym and diet

[@ThomasHeile]

Paul’s smart and it’s hard to critique a deal that is so far beyond what anyone else has gotten. A rising tide raises all boats. Just like Lebron, Trout, or Rodgers setting salary records then quickly seeing other (usually not as game breaking) players get the same or more $ is great for the sport. Now hopefully we see them do something similar with Paige soon and really shake things up by paying a female athlete well! She really does move plastic better than most MPO players in my opinion.

[@Bearleaux]

Met Paul and Nate in Rockwall a few years back, got some pics with them, had them sign a few discs, the level of attention they paid me, at the time a lowly intermediate player just happy to be under the same pavilion as these guys was first class. Paul still has that home town kid feel, lovable even. I'm happy for Paul and happy for Discraft, it's gonna be a badass ride to see where this goes. Congrats.

Genius move by Discraft recognizing that the fans need to see a more personal side of Paul.

There are of course many other names, but Paul has made it to that level. Well done.

Instead, I chose a life dedicated to business and have set myself up for a big annual salary, but very little happiness.
