Oh how silly a game is this
I don't get valerie's haste on hole 16 to mark the disc 'before it goes ob'. I think she should know, that the disc came to rest and it doesn't matter wether it goes ob afterwards or if Catrinas disc pushes it into the water
Great drama! Emporia is worthy of a major.
"Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated; it satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening – and it is without a doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented." -Arnold Palmer
Just like to say, "thanks to all involved"! The live coverage has gone from 0-100, not 0, but u get what I mean. Its a pleasure to watch now and before, it was not. I would usually wait for next day coverage…..not anymore! Also this is the most underrated team of commentators in all of disc golf! Hear me out, hopefully this is cycled through the industry! I hear, all to often, other teams constantly telling us, "with that bogey, his chance of winning are far to none"? Okay? So? I guess, I'll just change the channel! Maintaining a story line and promoting the fact that DG is just that GOLF, anything can happen, anytime, any hole, any shot!!! This needs to be imbedded into the commentators. Constantly DG commentators are doing the exact opposite?! Why? I look at it like this, saying things like "and that will do it for Wysocki" on hole 4 of final round, does 2 things….It gives the impression Disc Golf is NOT like golf and unlikely mistakes NEVER happen….which is so stupid to do (discredits the game/also professionals of game)..Its also a lie! We all know even a "professional" could get the "yipps" and 4 putt to lose on last hole! Quote me here, "It will happen, just give it a little time". I bet its already happened, if u look back at PDGA history, someone has blown it on the last hole!? So why would the games highest level commentators promote the opposite? Also saying, "with that shot, looks like (blank) chances to win this tournament, have ended"? Its hole 10? Wtf u mean? So u basically just told the audience, "DISC GOLF IS NOT INTERESTING" its too easy, pros could NEVER lose a 3 stroke lead on back 9? I've hear this every other tournament? Why? So DG never has lead changes, its that easy of a game? If not that then, its gotta be the COURSE IS TOO EASY? No matter what, all negatives, each ones a knock on the game! I say this with an outside yet, longtime inside view of the game (est.2001) as i only to improve and grow the game, these common tendencies are infuriating, pisses me off! I know Disc Golf is NOT as easy as these commentators come off as, I know ANYTHING can happen at anytime, I am passionate about the game, but when i try to show my dad the game, a high level golfer and the commentators led with these type of "comments" always chatty Cathy, its a bad look….Total discredit to the game & sadly happens every other tournament! Anyhow, I appreciate all the hardwork behind the scenes, I really come from a good place, to grow the game, positively represented by voices of the professional tour. Thanks for reading and hopefully, understanding my point. Just a recreational Disc golfer from the school of Scott Papa & close to now 20 years a professional Bmxer. As an Insider of BMX industry, in the last 18yrs, I've seen an Industry that began with rider made video magazines/zines to the front row of magazine stands & prime time slots on ESPN! XGAMES then brought in the outside major corporate sponsorship (Mtn Dew, Redbull, Rockstar, Monster, Toyota, Ford, Jack Links, Slim Jim, Vans, Nike, Adidas etc, Im talking ALL major corporations, on the main stage! ESPN XGAMES, Fuel Tv, Fox sports, hundreds of "made in USA" brands, booming industry, huge trade shows, mainstream/underground success to a industry at the losing end of slow death, Vans/Redbull few others are taking loses to keep supporting contests/coverage, from 100-0 is a good reference. From 4 major news stand magazines to 0, no more Transworld, Ride Bmx, the whole industry is now a few USA companies made in USA, and total of 400 others companies all being manufactured at same Chinese Warehouse, with different stickers to represent the "different" brands) Disc Golf is an infant and these first steps are crucial for a the balance needed to walk in mainstream athletics! Rule #1 ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN….Lets start to Keep the narrative! Its not even a lie! -Darin Read
