Honoring the Bandit In case you did not know already. Jeremy Koling was the Hot Dog Bandit, the figure that gripped the professional disc golf scene for much of the 2021 season by secretly stamping a cute, innocuous hot dog stamp onto the prized discs of fellow pro players. This official Hot Dog Bandit disc celebrates Koling’s joyous hot dog romp.
More about the stamp design: When embarking upon this project Jerm and artist Tony Diaz tried to find the most ridiculous ways to portray a hot dog. “We just laughed on the phone for hours coming up with the stamp concepts,” said Jerm. Halo Sidewinder – “Maritime ‘S’law.” A band of shifty seagulls has commandeered the Big Sexy Hot Dog trailer. Whereabouts of the human proprietors are unknown.
More about the Halo Sidewinder: This disc can add distance to anyone’s drive, but is especially useful for those with less power. The Sidewinder is our best disc for long turnover shots and long-distance rollers. Halo discs have slightly more stability and glide.
The Hot Dog Bandit Story (Cliffs Notes Version): It all started one day in 2021 when Jerm showed off the rubber stamps he just purchased to Nate Sexton, who immediately concocted a most devious plan. “Get rid of all of them, but keep the Hot Dog. Stamp people’s disc with the hot dog and don’t tell em’ you did it,” Koling remembered Sexton saying. The very next day during a Las Vegas Open practice round, Jerm scored his first victim: Eric Oakley. Then with each successive tournament, Jerm sniped more and more players’ discs. And as he did so, the notoriety of the Hot Dog Bandit grew and grew. At one point a YouTube mockumentary video was made and mentions of the Hot Dog Bandit appeared on UDisc scoring as well. By the time Jerm’s hot dog bandit reign came to an end at the Music City Open, Jerm had hot dogged between 12 - 20 disc golfers and spawned two copycat Hot Dog Bandits.
