Checking out the lake course here for NO lead card. Beautiful weather, a little bit gusty, however, light drizzle. We got Frank Smith leading them out. Sponsored by Cardinal Disc Golf. Elijah Bickle trying to bring him back in, chase him down. Sponsored by Prodigy Beanie, sponsored by Team Infinite, and Nolan Blessing, currently unsponsored. other people on the leaderboard. We got a whole ton of locals trying to ring these guys back in. And as you can see, expect some burdens. Yes, there’s a lot of opportunity on this course. Long par 4 655. You are going to have a double mando here and a nice stiff ridge that this basket’s going to sit on. Yeah, the OB uh runs down the entire right side with the road. uh at the beginning for the first like 450 ft of the hole there’s no curb so it’s really easy to go out of bounds if you turn it over here and then you get a little bit of a break later on. So we got Frank off the te first. As you can see from their current scores we’re going to be looking for a lot of birdies out on this course. Frank’s throwing it landing out left there. Totally safe out there. Nice easy approach for Yeah, not bad. He’s throwing it kind of more towards two’s basket. gives him a more of a hiser approach into the green rather than having to throw straight at it. It was it was pretty windy. Uh and we even got a little bit of rain during this round. So, uh you know, you’re trying to keep single angle so you don’t have to complicate things with your grip. How how far are these pros trying to get off of the tee on this one? Um I think typically uh all the guys on this card and most of the top rated pros in this tournament are probably trying to go about 450 to 4 430 to 450 off this tee. Trying to keep it in the middle. That’s Oh boy. Yeah, he did miss the mando there. Did end up on the road. You want the mando on that, too? Yeah. Yikes. That is not the one he wanted off the tea for sure. That’s going to proceed to the drop zone. Not what you want. Nolan Blessing has some interesting form, but when he’s on, he is on. Yeah. The man he’s going to be right in front of it, so he will have an angle to get get towards that basket. As you can see, he’s lining up a forehand here. A little bit pinched off, but definitely has that turnover forehand dialed. Just going to come up a little short. If you’re off and you don’t have a backhand, uh, unless you’ve got like a really a really elite sidearm, I mean, basically, there’s like three guys I’ve ever played with that I think can get this with a sidearm from before the mandatories. So, they’re they’re pretty much just playing for a bogey. Yeah. Here’s Bernard from the drop zone. Yeah, that’s like that’s a great shot. Beanie has a crush sidearm. And it doesn’t really look like he’s throwing it that far, but he’s got every bit of 400 to 450 on a sidearm, which is smacking the disc. Frank and Elijah are going to show you the shots from where you want to be off the te. Yeah, this is really premium spot because you can just throw his. So, I usually try to throw right around there and then throw like a wizard up to the basket so that I can just control how I’m landing on this ridge cuz then if I land flat, I won’t usually get the roll. But it’s really easy. You can see how slanted it is. You can roll really far super quick. Frank and Elijah thrown mid-range or putter into this green. It’s a quick green with that mound. So, they’re just trying to stick something close. Both of them successfully did it. They just got a nice nice shorty on the first hole. Tap it in. Move on to the next one. I I like the the low soft bid. It’s very easy to hit that basket and roll to 45 ft and then you’re putting uphill to a ridge from 45 ft. Not not a putt. You You’re not winning the tournament on that putt. I would lay it. No. No. No one’s happy getting away there with his par. Brennan, unfortunately, not going to be the same for him. Just trying to get off this one onto the next one. Like we said earlier, bogeies are bad. Boies are good. We’re going to want to see a lot of birdies on this course. Pretty pretty easy to avoid bogeies on a lot of these holes. Uh the temps bring bogeies into play more than the stock holes on this course. Um just because we kind of designed them to create some more score separation. Frank and Elijah picking up right where they left off. Getting birdie on the first hole. Right. What you want to do? Lead card, filmed card. No nerves. No nerves at all from either of them. Brendan unfortunately here looking to tap in his five. Yeah, you definitely don’t want to be taking a five on this hole. Yeah, you can see these guys kind of taking their time. The wind was blowing pretty strong today, so it is going to be a factor. Yeah. After going OB, missing the mandle off the tea, a five. Not the worst thing. Yeah, pretty much auto happens unless you have a really nice backhand. Hole number two here is 287 ft par three. Two options. A lot of people are going to throw right at it. A lot of people are also just going to take a big wide hiser around the tree. Either way, under 300 ft, this is a must get birdie for all of these guys. You have to birdie this hole. I mean, yeah, you have. It’s funny. Either option. Every local throws a sidearm or a backhand straight at this hole. I usually go backhand putter straight at it with a wizard, but almost every time we have a tournament out of town, people elect for that big hiser around the tree, which is not, but it is definitely easier to mess up than just throwing the sidearm or the straight at it shot. But you can see Bickl, I mean, I would almost consider him a local. He’s also throwing the hiser shot. It was pretty windy and it was a helping wind, so it’s not a bad idea, but it’s really easy to just push it long when you do that. I’m not sure how long that was, but that’s pretty good. About 25 ft. Pickle’s got that hiser lock down. We’re going to see Nolan go for the same shot. Frank throwing the forehand. Absolutely parking it. He’s going to continue with another birdie there. The amount of ink on that disc, it looks like a lake find right there. Holy, that’s up there. That is sitting wide. That one looks like it’s going to be pretty good there. That’s pretty good. Just inside pickle. The wideer is the play. Yeah, it’s not it’s not a bad play. It’s just funny because no locals throw it. Looks like you don’t want to do that. Beanie’s having a little bit of a rough time off the tea so far, but there’s still 16 more holes. He shredded first round. I think we’re going to see a lot better from him after this. Yeah, maybe just a little bit of filmed round jitters. Lead card, big payday tier, lots of added cash. Yeah, I think first was a grand. So, yep, there’s there’s some nerves for sure, but not from Bickl. Elijah Bickle was made to make 25 footers. You can see the You can see the wind. Yeah, that wind was roaring. All the trees blowing like crazy. Nolan’s hair flapping in the wind. I don’t think it moved an inch. Oh, look. He’s flapping around right there. Yeah, he’s hyped for that bug. Giving a little fist bump. Yeah. So, every time I’ve ever played with Nolan, he’s had his dad on the back. His dad his dad won his division in this tournament. Oh, so his dad was playing, so his dad was not on his bag. known as dad. Indiana disc golfers. Frank cleans up his birdie. That’s two for two for him. 384 ft par three playing up this hill. The real danger here is you don’t want to leave it low and burn it into the ground. That lake behind is also about 20 ft. And if you launch one, skip it off the top. Comes up very fast. You will uh go right in. [Music] Yeah, it’s s it’s it’s really a stock hole for ML players. I mean, I’m just basically I’m putting an over most overstable disc I have in my bag out to the right in and hopefully skipping up to 5 to 10 ft. How uphill is this? It’s pretty uphill. It’s S384. It plays around like 420. Um, but again, it’s a fast green and if you get to the basket, you always go in the water. So, you have to hit a little. So, really the difficulty on this is just the height of the shot. But you can see the wind is holding everybody over, right, which is going to make it a little bit harder to park it maybe, but it’s going to make it so that you’re probably not going to throw it long in the water. Ble just looked at you and he said, “Fod, I’ll show you how to park it.” Kept it low out of the wind driving shot. Elijah’s got the power to where he’s able to just push it through the wind. Yeah, he told me that this round was so windy, he basically only threw his X1 because it was the only disc he had that was stable enough. And you’re going to see Nolan there with just a little less power than Bickl trying to keep it low and out of the wind just like he did, but doesn’t quite have the power to get it up to the basket. Still going to be a good look. Yeah, it looks like he still got into C1. Yeah. And it’s really really easy to leave yourself in circle two or circle’s edge on this hole. Uh just like thinking about the water, you leave it a little low and then that putt is like this putt beanie’s got here is terrifying because that water is I mean a basket hit an air ball of any kind. It’s in the water and you’re taking another stroke which sucks. That right there is very scary. Very good sit. One inch higher. It’s in the drink 25 ft to the left. Looks like Nolan here is about circle’s edge. Not quite sure. Going to pull out that trusty dusty rangefinder. Check it out. Looks like he must have been in the circle. Didn’t even matter. Didn’t matter either way. If you’re contemplating whether or not you’re in or not, just putt it. Just putt it. Just putt it. Just throw the Frisbee into the basket. And if you do that, it doesn’t matter. Frank looking for the turkey. Three down through three start. really what these top guys are going to be looking for. Yeah. And with how close BL is, he knows that that is a must make to keep that lead. Looks like it’s going to be tied at the top. Bickles just got a tap in here. I actually think uh I actually think that at this point in the tournament, they were through three holes. They were playing kind of slow and I actually don’t think Frank was in the lead and it’s over. Really? Yeah. Pretty sure somebody else was somebody else put putting the the gears on them. Someone else was popping off. The C2 crew do chase card checkins. Yeah, I know. I know that Frank and Dickl are both score watchers. Well, looks like you were off to a hot start. You three through three. Maybe Kevin, tell us about hole number four here. Hole four, uh, we’re playing in the short pin to a temporary basket. It’s 335 ft. It’s three It’s about 300 to carry the water. Um, you’re really just looking for a spike Kaiser over the water. You got to get your angle right. If you land even a little bit long, you’ll skip under one of these pine trees or in that really thick bush behind the basket and you have no putt. So, really, really simple mistake here is either a leaving it too short and just ending up in the water. That should be pretty good right there. Or you land right by the basket being scared of the water and you skip behind the trees. And I’ve seen people take forks to feel that. So Mhm. Bickle has his foot on the gas right now. Yeah. Not letting it out. He is not going to take it off. It’s like no one a little high. Leaking a little left. Bounce out of that tree though. friendly. We had a tournament on this course uh last year, the Tonka Open, and uh yours truly was putting pedal to the metal and we started the second round and first shot of the round. Eddie Ward from Florida aced this hole to start his round. First shot, really heavy win. It was a nasty ace. It was sick though. control. Yeah, Brennan gets a nice kick out, too. Like again, that doesn’t come back out. It’s you’re like no putt. We have not seen many backhands from Brendan, but you shown us he can throw both ways, dude. He bombs. He is like got one of the most deceptive power of anybody I’ve ever played with. He doesn’t look like he throws very far and he rips the disc. No one thought that one was going to go in just short caged it. Classic Bryce move. No one’s probably feeling like that’s a must make. Seeing how close Frank and Elijah are. Again, pretty short putt here, but Frank putts really fast and with a lot of spin. So, you know, every time you’re facing towards water, it’s a little nervy. It can also be really hard when you’re playing a course with multiple different baskets. When you flip-flop between one that you might not like as much and one that you really like, it can be hard to bang the putt. I feel like these two baskets, we have the MVP portal or the MVP black holes and then these are old Arachnet twos, uh, Alan Pierre design from Indiana. They catch really similarly. I, you know, some baskets catch a certain type of putt better than others. Um, these ones both catch pretty pretty well across like a a right to left diagonal down. It starts with a vision, a single throw that changes everything. Discs built not just to fly, but to soar. Putters forged to hold steady when the pressure is at its peak. Blends crafted over decades, designed for today’s modern game. From the weekend warriors to the champions battling on tour, every throw matters. This is confidence. This is gateway. Yeah. All right, we’re going into hole number five here. It’s going to be playing uphill 284 ft. You’re going to have to pin something right through these trees, have it finishing to the right just ever so slightly. Yeah, this is a really tricky shot. You have to you can either try to go big turnover around the outside to the left or uh but the ceiling’s kind of limited on it uh right off the tea or you have to throw straight up the gut which it looks like Bickl’s trying to throw here. Yeah, this angle kind of gives you a better idea of just how uphill it is. It looks like a large gap, but it is not. I promise that gap is very small. He just left that one a little low. Perfect line. Going to leave him about a 4550 footer. Well within his range. Wants to keep the pedal down. Frank here sees that. That’s super flippy zone. The flippiest zone I’ve ever seen. Zone. Yep. Puts it right into C1. That’s got to feel good after you watch Elijah put it a little longer. You know, you might get on there. Yeah. Elijah opened the door for him there and Frank walked through it. He’s just still struggling off the tea a little bit. Just keeping it a little too low. It’s all the nose angles. He’s swinging down on the sidearm. You know, he’s he’s close to throwing good shots and they’re just not working for him. Nolan just overturns this one a little bit. Just going to get into that. You hope you felt not in the middle of it. Middle of it is screaming bogey right at you. That’s a nice shot. Beanie with a little turnover. Maybe 25 ft. Little chip forehand. Easy up and down. All right, let’s see if Bickl’s got what it takes here. Keep the gas Keep the gas pedal down. Yeah, keep the round. Perfect. Oh, too stable. No glide. Yep. Just left it a little bit short. Maybe a little bit left. Yeah. Frank take back solo first. Oh no. Oh no. Slipped through his fingers. So we we’ve seen a little bit of putting nerves. Some people may call it woes from Frank. Do you think that’s the video nerves? That’s basically I don’t really think it’s video nerves. I mean that’s basically Frank’s only miss. He he he’s really pretty consistent off the tea. Um, I’ve played, I don’t know, 50 plus rounds with Frank. He, uh, basically if Frank didn’t play good, it was probably the putter. He throws the disc pretty well always. Um, but he he he’ll get it turned around. He’s he’s a pretty good player. Is he pretty comfortable playing on coverage? Yeah, he’s Yeah, he’s been on coverage quite a few times. I I I you know, to be fair, a lot of those have been recently, so maybe not at this point. Had he played a lot of coverage, but he’s been playing disc golf since I mean, lord, 2015, 2014. No one there with a really good up and down. Hole six, you really got one option and that is a high driven forehand hiser 297 ft. You got to watch the danger here. This whole green slopes down into that water and it is not friendly. If you hit too quick or not at enough spike, you can easily flip-flop down into the lake. That is a rare Elijah Bickle sidearm. We are seeing why. He has thrown it too far. And just like I said, flip-flop right into the lake. Let me just tell you, if Bickl’s throwing a sidearm, it’s a sidearm because he throws a backhand on holes you’d never think to. So yeah, Frank here. Yeah, Frank winding up a forehand as well. You can see by Frank shot, it’s really not a hard shot. It’s about you’re trying to land like he went long even with that. You’re trying to land like 40 ft short and bounce towards the basket. If you land at the basket, you’re out of bounds. Brendan’s been throwing a lot of forehands. This is a hole. He should be able to smash it. Lets it go early. No turn right into the big trees. That’s probably it. Gets out though. So, he does have a open look at the basket. That’s a good tree. That was 100% in the water. It was just too high. And it will be four for four hands here. Yeah. In the winter, uh, when this tree on the right is a little bit more barren, you can throw a backhand right at it. actually with a putter. Nolan shown you the flip flop right into Yeah. And I ran into Nolan after this and he asked me what happened there and now you are able to see what exactly happened to you there Nolan. It was an unfortunate break. This this is a very common spot for people to land hitting those trees and then they run that putt hit any part of the basket. You can run into the water or just go behind one of these trees and have like no putt. And Frank absolutely takes advantage of the two mistakes by Nolan and Elijah. Well, that is that is uh that is right there is the best advertising MVP could get for their basket. Upper left side one change. Amazing. Bang. Drops right in. That’s what you want to see though when you’re when you’re having maybe a little bit off of a putting round. That can be enough to turn it around. You make a 50footer. Miss that 50 footer the last. That’s all you need. Cash a 50footer. get the confidence right back. Absolutely. That’s a momentum shifter for sure. Especially now Bickl’s out of bounds. Watched that go in. He’s losing one already. Feeling now. That’s huge. Huge momentum shift. They are fortunate to get their disc back cuz mine flip-flopped right into the lake and floated out into the middle. That’s why you throw 140 g Blizzard katanas. It’s the only thing I can forehand. Nolan also trying to save his par. Just not going to be there. Going to have a bunch of tapins here. Yeah, burn with a nice a two-stroke swing there on lead car. Kevin, what do you think? What do you think’s going through Bickl’s mind right now? Is he nervous? Does he think he’s still in it? Yeah, he knows he’s in it. Uh I mean, he’s one of the best players. He’s the best player in the state of Indiana. So, I mean, he he knows he’s got the ability to at any point in time pop off a good round. So, he’s moved. Uh, he was way better than Eddie’s ever been. But Eddie is good. But Eddie is good. Eddie’s the Btier assassin. You want to play Btier with Eddie? Elijah’s not not thrilled by the result, but he knows. Look at that board here. And it looks like Kevin is still on a heater. Heater. Uh, yes. Does Frank know that you’re chasing a watcher? For sure. So, we Here we go to move to hole seven. Uh it’s actually a course hole six, but uh we’ve got a 266 ft par 3. It’s an island hole. Uh it’s a water carry to the basket, so you got to get every bit of it. And it is very easy to go along OB. And the drop zone is pretty unforgiving. You’re putting 45 ft straight back at the basket and at the water. And the island is the size of the 10 m circle. Frank showing you right there. Boom. Bing ban heart. That is uh that is very fortunate. I’m pretty sure that just stayed on the rocks. You do not want to see a rock hit on this one. You want to land it right in that grasp. It’s pretty thick. It’s pretty grabby. You see Frank Brendan just take a little skip. Yeah. Just swinging a nice smooth forehand. He’s used to that. It’s uh it’s it’s a it’s not a far shot. I mean, I throw a putter here. A lot of the field throws a putter. Ble’s throwing a Bigle’s throwing a putter right here. I mean, it’s not a hard shot. The putter is a nice because it’ll land flat and not skip, but it’s negative because it’s really easy to do that. Yeah. It just turns it over. Do you think that’s just kind of a nerves catching up to him after that last hole and you’re throwing over water? I mean, it’s pretty easy. It I’m surprised by the miss because I think the wind was a right to left wind on this. So, Mhm. a little strange. Just turned it over, never got it back. No one’s just going to show you the pure high putteriser here. Straight into the water. Straight into it. Yep. That’s uh Nolan might have wanted to go under there after watching the putterfly. I don’t think he’s getting that one back. Well, that was the fastest pitch of all time. Did I throw that? No. There is a drop zone on this hole and it is an absolute death putt. It is a monster putt for sure. This is uh this is a you can decide your round based on this putt for sure. How bad do you want that far? Yeah, we just we played around a tournament uh about a month after this this tournament and the TD played it so that every shot that went in the water regardless of where it was from went back to the drop zone and Nick Howard did not know that and putt very hard and went in the water and then was mad and putt again and hit the rim and rolled in the water again. That’s not what you want. Basically completed his round. You can see Nolan’s putt very soft up to down. Still 2 ft from the water. Frank is still loving life from this spot. Picking up another two strokes on Elijah here. That’s three in the last two holes or no, that’s four in the last four. Big swings happening. Frank and Elijah know they’re four strokes apart now. But they’re watching scores. They’re looking. This guy Kevin is shredding these things. Frank’s worried about that. He is for sure. But we got hole eight. It’s 319 feet. You can throw a low screaming hiser. Uh that’s a pretty hard shot to throw though. And you usually get caught up in these pine trees. So most people are going to throw a sidearm straight at him like this. Or you’re going to throw what I like to throw is a backhand turnover with a mid or a putter uh and try to get up there for a putt in circle one. I do remember the wind being favorable for a sidearm on this hole this day, but that what just happened right there is very common mistake. It’s hard to uh throw a really overstable disc there because it’s uh you’re going to end up using too much of the left side and you’re going to catch that tree on the left. So, this is a great designed hole. Yeah, you can see the wind just lift lift Brendan’s up there. Just keeping them out to the right. They will have a look from out there though. Not surprising. Elijah to throw a backhand throw a forehand. We will see that sidearm out of pickle. The one and only. Yeah. And there’s a good reason. That right there is the reason. Mhm. Absolutely parked. Pinned. That is what you want to do after two bogeies. You don’t want to have to make a putt. All you want to do, we get to watch it from the other end. Yeah. Let’s take a look at this again. Absolute dime piece. Never a doubt that one was under the basket. That’s why I like the back end. The backhand actually makes the gap a lot bigger uh because it allows you to turn later whereas the sidearm kind of dives once it gets down there. So Nolan hitting the same branches that Frank hit just that wind might be pushing it up a little bit. Left and right wind and as soon as that disc starts to finish that wind gets under it and just keeps it out there. Nolan gives it a great That would have been an insane too. Frank you can see here still just outside the circle. Still got a chance to not let Pickle get one back. Yeah, looking for a second turkey of the room. Good layup. Unfortunately, that’s uh we call those lock breakers. So, but uh yeah, I mean it’s not what he wanted out of it, but again, it’s windy. You put it too high, you can easily go to another 30footer. So, beanie here. Yeah, he really wanted that one. He’s turned his round around after the since that first hole. picking up a few more birdies. Getting under par for the round. Good clean up. Yeah, you can’t can’t bleed more than one to uh to somebody on the hole. Ble just lost four in two holes, so I you know, he’s he’s uh relishing the opportunity to get a stroke on the on the card here. There’s going to be a couple tapins now. Bickle got one back on the entire card. That always feels good when you go from bottom of the box to top of the box. That’s exactly what you want to see. Frank repping the Cardinal disc golf. Elijah repping the Cardinal disc golf. Yeah, the Frank Smith jersey. This one 111 par five hole number nine. This one the name of the game is to throw it far and straight. These guys are going to be throwing probably two shots to get past that corner and then one more up shot to try to sneak for your birdie. I would say this is one of the top hardest holes on this layout. For sure. These guys are going to be happy with a five, absolutely thrilled with a four, and horrified by a six. Yeah, it’s uh it’s a really it’s a distance mandatory hole. Uh you have to throw 840 ft to get to the corner. So you got to have at least 420 ft in your in your bank on a stock wall shot really because you got to hiser flip it down this side if you push off with too much heiser in the low. Frank just kind of holds on to that one a little bit. Wow. And honestly great tree because it looked like it dropped right down and there is OB right behind those trees. So that was probably the worst shot he’s thrown in in a month. Yeah. Frank from there is going to be praying for a five. Yeah. If he gets a five, he’s going to be more than happy. Brendan here, maybe a little bit less distance than the other guys. He’s going to have to try to go real big, real high, and push something. Good flex. Looks like it just didn’t quite hold over. Yeah, he might be a little pinched off from that angle. I’m curious if he was always going to throw a sidearm or after watching Frank’s shot, he switched it up to try to stay out of the trees. I’m really curious. It could have been. Nolan here. He’s a good power player. Not necessarily elite distance, but he’s got the power you need to get the birdie on this one for sure. Yeah, he does. Yep. You really only need if you can get the the the 420 420 and get to the corner. It’s a pretty easy up and down from the corner, you’re looking at a 300T hiser shot or flat shot or sidearm. You cannot see the basket and it becomes a very hard up shot. Frank Patton and all he’s trying to do here is put it past that big tree out there on the left so that he can maybe go with a big Annie around the corner, but he’s going to be happy either way. Yeah, that’s phenomenal. So, even where he’s at right now, he still has like 330 ft to the corner. So, it’s not a it’s not an easy shot. And then another 320 ft from the corner to the pin. So, yeah, still giving himself a chance. He’s a little shorter than he’d like to be for sure, but basically a perfect spot. All you need. And that’s crazy. Yeah, Ble actually goes into the water. I have never seen someone throw in the water on this hole without hitting that tree in the middle and rolling in there. That’s actually crazy. So, I know Bickl wants that stroke back immediately. Yeah, Brendan catches a branch on his way out. Not getting the distance he wanted. Nolan just looking to unload a forehand here. Looks like he got some good flight out of that. There’s a lot of room past the corner. You just want to make sure he is on the Yeah, he got to the corner now. Yeah. If you don’t get to the corner, uh it’s it’s way harder, but a lot of people get uh kind of like lured into throwing a sidearm on this shot and they they think they’ll get it because it almost has a false corner cuz the big tree kind of blocks what the actual corner is and they think, “Oh, you know, I can get a sidearm there.” They throw it and then they’re 40 short of the corner and they can see the basket and they take a stroke. Yeah. Frank’s going to have to go big Annie here. All he’s trying to do is just keep this one right. If it comes back, it’s gonna be okay. It’s just a little bit farther from the basket. Yeah, it will have a wide open look at the basket. He’s still gonna be about 440 feet from the basket, though. So, it’s it’s not going to be Oh, no. Look at this. Finding out the trying to figure out whether or not it’s OB or Oh, that’s earlier. He was saying he were like, yeah, if there’s water on the side of the disc from where you’re standing, it’s out of bounds. So Elijah’s got to plead his case there. I like it. I like the discussion bringing the card mates over. Not an arguer. He he he pretty much if if you’re logical, he agrees with you. So that mean he just want to see hugs that one to the right. He’s going to be in the thick of it. That bush is thicker than a bowl of oatmeal. Frank trying to get up and down for his par from pretty deep. Wow. He launches it past it. That’s going to be about circle’s edge. Maybe a little outside the circle. See, Beanie’s out here. He’s got pretty much just a stock sidearm. He’s only got like 340 330 to to the pin. He can just throw like a pretty normal stock sidearm. So, Beanie throwing there and pins it. It’s going to be a tap in bogey after a drive that landed in the middle of a tree. He’s happy. Yeah, he’s not happy. You’re all right. Yeah. uh playing on the lead chase or third card in NO, you’re probably not wanting to bogey this. It’s a pretty easy bogey to avoid. It’s just a hard birdie. So, a parm feels fine. A bogey does feel pretty bad. There you can see Nolan was a little bit pinched off off the corner. Had to go back to that forehand. Heiser didn’t get in quite as deep as it looked. I cannot believe how far towards the edge these guys are staying on throwing into these bushes. Franks off the tee, kicked all the way out to the center and then Bickls stayed out. Those bushes are I watched Brad Shik climb 10 ft high in that bush just to get his disc back and threw it from there during the Three Rivers Open. Nolan keeping one wide right. Another MVP. Yeah, showing you how to make the four on this hole. These baskets are these baskets catch pretty good. I actually think the the uh the gravity baskets, the black hole gravity basket actually catches better than their top one, the portal. Frank taking the unfortunate bogey there. He did try and grind that par out as hard as he could. Elijah trying to save his bogey. Left it a little bit right. Even the MVP basket’s not catching that one, unfortunately. Just pushed it a little bit right. That is crazy. Tap for the seven. I would never put money on Bickl taking a double bogey on this hole. So there you can see we got the full rainbow, a four, five, a six, and a seven all on hole number nine. Yeah, that’s crazy. That’s going to conclude our front nine coverage. Check out that leaderboard. Big swings happening at the top. Seven down through nine. Got uh got Frank sweating a little bit. We’re tied. Um and uh I think I was actually through a few more holes in this. So yeah, Franklin’s definitely watching the scores for sure. But thanks so much for tuning in, guys. Uh make sure you guys tune back in for the back nine. It’s going to be a pretty uh pretty hot race to the finish line. So make sure you guys tune in, like, subscribe, and follow for notifications.
