One Round – Mat Straka
Joe W. Painter Hillside Back 9
One Round is a new show where we combine 18 holes of disc golf with the Q&A of a podcast. I’m getting comfortable with the format and learning more of the filming and timing of the program. We had the mics working better this round, but there is still a lot to work on.

10 par five here we go yeah simple five I up and over and then left and then straight and then up again way easier than the bar five back there that yeah that’s an you played long down here before yeah for loo and I had like a 40
Footer for birdie and I missed yeah that’s a tough part see that’s another one where I thought you would just go forehand I could yeah okay so here’s a part of my game that I need to work on hitting gaps with my for okay like that so like that’s that’s a problem
Just throwing it right down the middle the problem is player one doing it not player two okay oh no kick right kick right yesh all right so I got to go over the top the hill n pin high like 28 left yeah you’re pretty good I’m almost tempted to just try a righty
Forehand yeah it’s I mean it feels better than patent pendings yeah fine with that I think it’s a rhythm thing like throwing a around backhand in Ultimate is typically in Rhythm yeah and just standing still is not yeah it’s true it’s just awkward is there any truth to lefties being
Better at offhand tasks than righties I feel like there’s some truth to it yeah a lot I’d say a lot of the time yeah I played basketball right-handed yeah yeah I shot right-handed I dribbled better right-handed um that was just what felt more accurate and consistent it’s kind of Awesome
Is illegal man it is illegal all right probably a play sit nice and soft sure hope that stopped cuz I hit the line a okay these These Chains don’t work ah great butt it’s a good bid from way down there thanks yeah told myself don’t leave it short mission accomplished
But dang it I thought with your putt there you were going to take the box back almost it just never dropped yeah it was just so much Spin and power so much power unbridled unre unregulated power power the spin as Putt in San Antonio people are gonna wonder if you’re on [Laughter] Something should be good little short maybe always listening I know I was listen on the last one this is where I want my game cam go go skip again I hate throwing them into the ground that’s the worst yeah what’s different about the golf out here other than the Heat and
The Thorns gaps are tighter um there’s the there’s a lot more par fours and Par fives I think that’s like probably maybe the biggest difference is the amount of par fours and Par fivs yeah uh cuz out I mean I don’t know how much you’ve played out there but out there it’s no
Never you know de lao’s 27 par 3s yeah and that’s like the most famous course in California and there’s no par fours or par fivs uh the biggest course of Sacramento is Shady Oaks and they used to have like Simon and Ricky and some of those guys back in like 2015 2016 would
Come out for the big a tier there but the course was again like 18 part 3s um some of them you know you could call them like a part three and a half but it wasn’t there’s there was no there was no like soft par fivs like that doesn’t
That wasn’t a thing yeah well we only have soft par fives when it’s a the short box on a yeah on a hole but yeah I see what you’re saying get down get down go play starky if you want some Eagles that was yeah starky and here are the closest I’ve
Been to to have getting an eagle they are they’re very Gable at starky and I I mean I think it’s just because I mean whoever designed that course I guess just didn’t want that feel bad you know 430 Foot par three yeah that most people weren’t going to
Get to one of the big pushes we had for loer this year was to get that basket moved back into the new position and now it’s like a very legitimate par 4 oh for sure um especially from the long it’s still legitimate power 4 from here but
From the long it’s it’s two real shot it’s a legit second shot like a 350 360 foot second shot typically which yeah and you really want to be instead of being like just throwing aiser and being on this top shelf it benefits you being on the bottom shelf now and closer to
The ob ditch so it makes the hole tougher in that distance and in the placement of your shot that’s see what you’re talking about huh so yeah this is tough when they moved it they got a lot harder yeah I think it’s great H how much is this going to flip
If I was right-handed I would love it Yeah little too mucher yeah I pushed off to the yeah I was worried I was I put it too flat it was going to just roll over Yep this is just enough of the headwind oh we’re we’re just both gonna be over there yeah I’m gonna be right next to
You get off that tree though let see how tough it is now I don’t really have high hopes for any of the lines of that I’ve got from here I mean I could try and Heiser flip something through that tiny Gap and yeah there’s not much to look at here that’s
Not a lot though so let’s go up and over see safest Gap proba no ah and it came backwards gosh darn it things are not working Allan I mean I I also have nothing if it helps yeah you’re even more pinched off than I
Am you know I could do is just try to throw it through this tree here and see if it gets through you got it dude it’s right there all right I’m going to go through those branches or hit the biggest one all right make feel better makes me feel much
Better NOP that didn’t work good little roll out wow take it there you go that’ll do right yeah I am fine everything’s fine one of those Holes thinking about yeah yeah man oh yeah Cruising oh yeah that thing it’s beef get down nice shot yeah all right cool Super Cabra no that’s actually a yeet what yeah hooligan ye woo birdie finally nice Ni that skips right that’s money uhoh well that went definitely to the left that did the opposite of what you said sometimes you catch a good rock you know oh yeah can’t hurt to Ask oh wow that was a great kick out yeah man if it stopped moving after like right I’m right in the middle of every I think I’m right in the middle of the Fairway oh I mean that works that works too not really flat or Annie but I’m putting that works just fine whoops uh this is fun you got it yeah and sit y wow great ground action hell Yeah ah Ow yeah the last time I shuttled over the top my cardates were picking thorns out of my back Nice butt thanks yeah it’s kind of swirling in here yeah I hope this Jack Loup gets right far enough the Tailwind keep going keep going keep going yeah man stay out there yeah nice shot sweet yeah that’s money yeah do that just get over there in front of it yeah that’s so good that’s what I was aiming for that’s so good man you can’t tell at all where we are for this
Shot um I’m not going to be I don’t think Super aggressive here because that tree is oh yeah you’re yeah I just want to make sure I get left I think I’m trying to be tight to that tree though but I don’t want to hit it no don’t hit
It just give it a haircut yeah get left get left uh it might have gotten out maybe we’ll see flip straight flip straight oh boy wow that is a stable disc yeah it is probably fine though yeah if I can get in here Dam you got to earn it Man all right am I good yeah you’re good not even paying Attention that’s fine Y what up Just a simple birdie right there yeah what you want very Nice just to dunk on people die that’s fine that’s close enough yep Ah that’s great if it gets right wow that thing’s straight dang man nice I like that shot all right is this one you uh you sure ohay again hi hi always better than low yeah always nice but and Simon and Yulie just put out a video Simon Simon plays but Julie had
Never played before and they just put out a video of Julie playing for the first time yeah and he just got murdered got wrecked yeah get around that tree nice shot yeah all right this is a line I’m still working on but oh here we I feel like if
I hit this line right it should flip over at the top of the hill and just go and then Cruise yeah but I haven’t I haven’t gotten the line right yet got to get it high enough probably Flip Flip Flip Flip Flip ah no not quite see I would makes that tough
Yeah I know I see you’re looking at though yeah that came out on too much heer Putting that was a great shot thank you yeah so touch touch shot yeah or just get it to flex the whole way and go in the basket that sounds I think the people want to see that do it the whole way but not over Flex is
The question yeah let’s not Flex it down the hill okay we’ll try it why not oh it’s just High just dropped oh you missed everything oh it’s gone gone oh yikes you hit like a one foot by one foot Gap in those branches like come on oh how far did this go oh God just uh you know just going to dial up a birdie putt don’t worry about me yeah he’s in uh classic birdie Zone yep just got to stretch out a little bit I’m sure he’s hit a birdie from here before still lasso again I guess ah dang It nice bird thanks I guess that means I get the box next round oh we still have another hole we get bonus hole I guess yeah little bonus so whole 18 quick recap after 18 yep 18 done he crushed it I’m sitting at 14 down I’m only 10 Strokes behind at
