You’ve heard of No-Shave November, right?
Basically, for the month of November, participants forgo shaving to raise awareness for cancer. The money that would’ve been spent on costly grooming gear is donated to cancer research.
Movember is another like-minded movement. Men participate by growing mustaches, as it’s their health issues that take center stage: prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health.
As a result, hairy men get hairier …
And the follicly challenged lose confidence.
The following are five disc golfers who DON’T have that issue:
5. Nathan Queen
Nathan (not Nate) Queen is a well-known metalhead.
His overall “look” fits the bill: man-bun, plenty of ink and a Jonathan Davis-inspired beard. Though injured for the better part of the 2022 season, Queen, his beard and backhand-only bag are a mainstay of the Pro Tour circuit. Undoubtedly, you’ll see more of him on coverage in 2023.
Fingers crossed said coverage is as strong as the stuff on his face. #MasonProductions

4. Luke Humphries
I’m not talking just ANY version of Luke Humphries …
More specifically, the 2020 and 2021 iterations of the guy. The mustache might not technically qualify as a “beard,” but the Movember movement gives him the friendly bump he needs. What started out as a pandemic-era joke quickly became an identity he wanted none of …
Still, he voluntarily grew it – and he waxed that puppy, too.
It was glorious.
3. Cale Leiviska
Eat your heart out, ladies …
The only man on Planet Earth sexier than Cale Leiviska is the dude to whom he bears a striking resemblance – Mr. Zachary Efron. To further follow in Efron’s fashion-centric footsteps, Leiviska will occasionally let his beard come in. And that’s what makes it so great …
It comes and goes as he sees best fit.
Heads-Up: Cale’s coming for your woman.
2. JohnE McCray
Similar to Cale’s chin bush and Taco Bell’s Nacho Fries, JohnE McCray’s beard is of the “limited-time” variety. Only, when he lets it grow, it’s usually for an entire year – not a mere couple of weeks. The end result is a festively plump, salt-and-pepper old guy who looks like he’s one sleeve of Oreos away from a part-time gig as a mall Santa – not a bad place to be, really.
Oh, yeah …
And he could wipe the floor with you on ANY disc golf course – bum heart and all.
1. Justin Bilodeau
Clearly, there’s a great deal of subjectivity that goes into these listicles …
Rearrange items five through two however you see best fit – drag and drop new names, for all I care. But you’d need to be clinically insane to bump Justin Bilodeau’s breathtaking beard from this post’s top spot. There are no ifs, ands or buts about it – his bristiles are second to none.
By day, he’s a nine-to-five aerospace engineer.
Also by day, when his employer gives him time off, he’s a cut-throat disc golfer.
Before you go bashing, watch the guy on JomezPro – he’s the real deal.
* Honorable Mention: Kudos to Paul Ulibarri for rocking the few follicles God gave him.
If you hated this thing, relax …
In 365-ish days, I’ll do it again.
That’s long enough for most to go from scraggly to spectacular.
