Episode Highlights:This week on the Double R Show, we celebrate an unparalleled season of success in North Lincoln County. In 45th Unparalleled, we highlight the remarkable partnership between Taft High School and Oregon Coast Community College that is helping students accelerate their educational journeys. This year, 45 members of Taft High School's Class of 2026 are expected to graduate having already earned 12 or more college credit hours—a powerful example of collaboration, opportunity, and student achievement. We also look at an extraordinary spring sports season, led by Taft High baseball's No. 1 ranking in Oregon and its bid for a state championship on the very same day as graduation.

Alive or Dead?

Fore or Three!

Episode Highlights:It’s “fore”… even if we only found three. As part of Lincoln City’s Community Days, we follow the game of golf as it shows up in unexpected places. At the high school, disc golf with Noah Lambie brings focus, flow, and a growing local scene. Out on the mud flats, the rules loosen and the landscape takes over—golf, but entirely shaped by tide and terrain. And at the mall, putt-putt delivers the classic: simple, social, and just competitive enough.Three versions, one great game.Taft High Disc Golf, Noah LambieMudflat Golf, Heather HattonPutt, Putt Golf, Sharyn JasmerSupport the showDouble R Show - Visit us online - Roger@DoubleRshow.com - Email us today - facebook.com/DoubleRShow - Follow us - Buy Double R a Donut - A way to support the podcast and local non-profits - Join as a Sponsor - Advertise with us to promote your business - All Ways Productions LLC - All Rights Reserved
