Hello everybody and welcome to the 2024 Park media coverage of the Golden City Classic at Victoria Park in the picturesque Ballarat I’m Matt finina speaking and I’m joined by the man with the most defined cares in the ma3 Australian division Jason weeder Maddie how you going thanks for that uh very
Kind intro mate that making me feel positive all the time a lot of compliments about the baby cars I do I do a lot of them for myself but yeah I do get plenty ride yes yes you do like to draw attention to them but I’m I’m excited today first tournament of 2024
Goldity tour sorry to cut you off yeah the first tournament of the Vic tour vict tour for 2024 yeah so uh getting uh getting pretty excited here because we all love Ballarat as a course don’t we oh I mean it’s highly revered for a reason uh par 3es par fours open shots water
Water wooded sections it’s got it all tricky OBS yeah any excuse for us melburnians to Trek an hour up the highway and get out to Ballarat but uh hole one we’re starting with I love this hole Jace it’s a straight putter for most of our M players today they’re
Going to throw 74 M down this beautiful looking tunnel I’m expecting two out of the four birdies here pretty scorable by these standards uh it’s a nervy first shot but you just got to make sure you get straight and have it Landing without too much fate yeah and in his uh full
Australia Post uniform we’ve got Dylan Felman today it’s good to see him back that’s a vibrant red he wouldn’t have too much trouble with this shot Heiser flips it up that thing’s gliding gliding and nestling up pretty nicely there he probably would have liked it you know just out Circle
It’s not a bad start it can be a tough ho to start on this one um you can you can get pinched off early it’s going wide is not so much of an issue youve usually got a putt but um you just want to get it down there really yeah and we
See Marcus attempting to do that right now this is Marcus’s maiden voyage on the uh SS parked media ship as he the first ever shot oh wow it’s a pretty good first ever tournament isn’t it and all the way from camra was a late inclusion to the tournament Jade Jade
Brady just throwing a rock three here I think yeah he’s got that thing a beautiful looking line skips up on that dirt that a birdie so there’s two of my there’s your two two birdies called the park media favorite steps up to the te box Dave Perry now is that his alien or
His Toro we’re discussing this off air I don’t think it’s either cuz it’s it’s actually white but you wouldn’t know that cuz your color blind I reckon it’s Xavier that’s about all we usually expect from Dave little anti- skip there yeah well that could be getting three birdies here
Myd I’m going to put my money on three birdies here and the way Dylan puts four yeah oh Chain’s out a little left a little left there get so much pop on that putt doesn’t it oh Dave’s done the same thing that was a tournament P yeah it’sit a bit nervy to start
With Jade for the birdie and newc to park media Marcus bot not in shot hasn’t even made it there there there he comes fell there he is yeah Mark is known for his power but really has all elements of his game pretty well dialed in yeah it was a good
That was my first opportunity to see play uh on this particular day h 2 is 89 m not a lot of ways to get into trouble here it’s it’s pretty straight at it um just got to get out under the trees and come at it from any angle really it’s dealer’s choice in
Terms of shot you’ve got an elevated basket but that’s the only thing you really have to think about and Marcus does not like that one yeah probably Circle Edge there Jay yeah for some reason this hole it’s uh it’s does it look too easy or I Know
Myself personally I managed to stuff up this shot regularly and I don’t know what it is about this hole but it’s just uh it seems a lot harder yeah the hole doesn’t really demand anything of you and it’s it’s a freedom that you often don’t deal with especially in tournament
Disc golf as J that one a little long he’ll have the 8 to n met putt back to the elevated basket deal and what do you reckon he went about 40% there yeah probably and he’s gone long yeah it was almost a sneaky little run yeah it’s just it’s
All does that to people now Jay I was actually away for the tournament as we see David show us the forehand line this looks to be a better weight yeah or just the outside but best give him a chance to clean it up yes you’re away I was
Away I was in Japan for the tournament uh what were the conditions like you were on camera uh day one here was um boom just about perfect for this golf uh not a breath of wind and I think it was about mid 20s 24 25° um players are all
In shorts and short sleeves here yeah no the conditions look great on camera Mark just cage that one Dylan’s putt just then let’s knock gloss over that that was fantastic Jade for his birdie op just chaining left as well three chain outs already Bo missing their marks there as
David Peach’s Perry as he’s affectionately known yes shakes off the nerves with the first hole picks up his first birdie and Pa for Jaden we are all tied up yeah we are good spot there one one3 one par each as we go on next to three which is first of our water-based holes
Uh you’ve got that little water on the left and just past this yellow basket here we’re ignoring that one just to that blue one so it’s big nice open heer plenty of room out on the right you got OB on the right but shouldn’t shouldn’t bother anyone without any wind MD no
With uh with the power these guys have they’ll take a a stable mid range perhaps a fairway big pushing righty backhand Heiser as Dylan demonstrates here that should be safe all players will uh should be noted that the no division are playing on the advanced layout so the the blue baskets you see
On camera will be the uh baskets that our players are targeting Dave here throws mostly an Inova bag I’m guessing this is maybe a t- bird three maybe an fd3 does back a bit of dis Mania too and he’s right up there with Dylan yeah that was his fd3 just to
Confirm he’s a big man isn’t he Marcus [Laughter] oh those poor [Laughter] sleeves puts a good move on that that’s going to fade out delightfully is it going to fade enough no bit the grass is still a bit thick for this time time of year with the weather we’ve had yeah
Usually dries out and off is a bit more skip than that takes a wider line he’s asking it to go left for that very reason so head down and disappointed from Jade there yeah he’ll have a a putt but an unlikely putt to make here you see pen in the
Background couple of the Melton boys there shout out to Melton Disco little blind Creek is it called little blind Creek in Melton if you’re ever passing by decent run by Jade there yeah oh we’re having chain outs aren’t we yeah some chains on that one too I
Can see the wind’s picked up a bit on this hole that’s better from Dave so two birdies in a row for Dave should really be three he’s off to a ripping start yep and another one for Dylan as well this is probably going to be the year of
The the Dylan and Dav ble defin definitely I can see them juking it out all year long there are two most propitious young talents yeah they’ve um they’ve got the ability they’ve definitely got the ability so we’ll be watching all year whole four M yeah it’s
A par three it’s one I love to throw you’ve got a few different options directed by the trees there is a straight backhand line or a leftand right hand forehand line as we say hi to our boy Peach is there uh you’ll see mostly mid-rangers
Here if the players choose to go for a forehand they might go for a fairway but 85 me oh you’re just waiting for Jade to exit the L there but how close was that portaloo to the teapad what we’re all ready to go I thought it was Dylan’s shirt [Laughter]
As Dylan does OP with the forehand SKS it up there and gives himself a clap too’s he’s looking in good spirits Dylan see Perry take the similar line yeah he probably H that a little bit more than he would have wanted sorry I thought there was an
OP so they have the circles marked yeah they have the they have the circles marked and uh sh out to everyone’s favorite dis golf TD res circuit um put in a mountain of work and told us on the clubhouse that he was going to put in the bullseye circles as well even though
It’s not a requirement of a uh a CTI he wanted to go the extra mile and he said why have a ceiling on it why not do as much as you can so this is why we love this man res circuit you said it best he’s extra mile he’s an extra mile
That’s that’s the kind of guy he is so as we see Jade and Marcus throw less than preferred shots they’ll have decent putts coming back for their birdies yeah he got a long look here Jade that patented camra shoulder drop too bit of late dip on that one that was
Looking good oh he’s got a working man’s body doesn’t he this is a an awkward position for Dave yeah CLI the bit of oh he’s got dir heads sh us that he’s uh a bit of personality from Dave’s always refreshing yeah you must be feeling relaxed Oh Marcus cages again is that
Three in a row yeah could be the uh bit of camera nerves for Marcus uh it’s it’s uh doing my research it’s the second time he’s been on Park media coverage he was actually on Vic open ma1 card back in the start of last year so oh yes okay
I’d forgotten about that one second time but he was only half the size then I’m pretty sure he’s happy with that one the double fist the double Cobra Dave makes his par and Jade his so felon with the only Birdie on that hole Yeah surprised by
That Jay as we move into the dreaded hole five hole five tell us about it yeah it’s a water carry um we’re just about to fly over with the Drone now uh there’s a safe landing just here on the left for your heisers um and then around
Got OB behind the basket there but we do sometimes see the mpo guys pushing that extra that long Gap if anyone can do it to this man here no he’s opting for safety today look this is a very scorable power four for these guys righty backhand heer it’s been a first
Round safety there from Dylan isn’t it yeah I think so as Lance corpal Perry keeps that one low that’s going to push the trees yeah yeah I don’t know if that’s going to be in bounds but he’s going to have to have done a lot of work to get that
In yeah I’d say that one is out of bounds as we see Marcus again a guy with the power to go for that right hand gy you reckon he’s got the power if his physique has anything to go by absolutely he’s going for the safe no one testing it today so
Far that’s nice and safe out there he’ll have a little forehand flick in right out near the uh there’s a big hole out there in the Fairway that creeps up on you oh Jade’s going for it yes he’s put a move on this one that looks pretty darn
Good what a shot that just kept turning and turning it must have had some revolutions on it now if you told me at the start that one of the guys on the card was going to go for it he would have been my guess I mean they’ve all got the power but
Yeah so Dave must have gone OB there cuz he’s uh he’s playing from the OB line and I’m pretty sure that one bounced off the steel gate and back in so very lucky very lucky I remember hearing that from uh from further up the Fairway oh he’s testing it yeah I think
That’s gone OB yeah that’s uh that’s a mistake from Marcus there that should be a pretty routine shot for him as Dylan has a very similar approach to Marcus and ex in the Bulls and Jade for his second is putting eag on a five Come On Son oh
Like a bit of Tailwind action there maybe it’s pushing that disc down there’s a pass for Dave ENT run yeah yeah wouldn’t wouldn’t be expecting to drop one there Dave I don’t think marus nice pass save there oh that was a spit out that’s not a
Chain out that was rank spat out that bounced stra off the pole I saw it he’s just still trying to make heads of tails of that now reverse Park to how bad that was thank you kle for the reverse Park yeah he just looks he just looks at the camera pure
Disain now look I’m going to ask you a question here Jace do you blame the basket or the pot for that oh that is pretty contentious issue sometimes I look in that instance I think that’s just one of those uh freak occurrences where you hit it smack bang right in the
Middle but look there is an argument also for this the the how hard you put it as well whether that makes a difference so I’m on the fence mie to answer your question all right ambivalence as we move into hole six Par Four playing is one of the hardest holes
To score definitely players you need a lot of power to set yourself up for a simple enough approach to get the birdie here a turning right hand backand will be thrown for sure we might see a roller from the boys uh if you’ve got the forehand distance that’s a fine
Play as well yeah they’re just trying to get up into the right hand side here so they can navigate that corner as Jade looks like he’s put a good move on that if that get some skip up that’ll be just dandy yeah he’ll have a AER I’m just exploring my vocabulary here J
That’s a low H look at that are you kidding me oh wow that’s taken some worms that didn’t get higher than half a meter off the ground that was a hovercraft and definitely get a reverse pack that more than give a reverse packed I’ve never seen a flex forehand
Stay so low that is wicked that’s a wicked shot that is as good forand as you say on that Dylan the daisy cut of filming right there wow what do you have for breakfast not sure Marcus knows how to follow that the flex back here needs to get
Stable and doesn’t he’s yeah that’s where you that’s where you see the majority of getting to just just being having the ability to navigate that corner well it’s such a low ceiling on the drive that your your options are limited in terms of getting the distance a Calvin
Heinberg would be someone that I would choose to throw this shot for me someone that can keep it low and hard I’d pick Dave Perry not a bad choice as he gets nice and wide at the dog leg he should have a backhand in as well yeah so they’re all they’ve all
Navigated that very easily yeah Marcus is going to have to get some skip action going on the backand here it’s good out of the hand around the back of the trees yeah looks better all you could do from there checked up a bit short but still a decent result should guarantee his path
Here that textbook form that needs to push that was the Toro I believe yeah it be well outside Circle there probably midc to Jade A Little Closer on the left so biter release to try and get around that and he’s got some ground play so he’s
Just outside Circle and look at Dyan is around the corner that’s phenomenal that is as good drive as I’ve seen on that hole incredible stuff oh oh goes long I really want to see him get the birdie here that drive itself is worthy of the birdie long birdie look for
Marcus got a nice bit of pop on that but the wind sort of kept it gliding he’ll be coming back for his par as Jade shoots it oh cheeky little sh good shape just out of touch early Dave just getting a branch involved there and not happy with that
One D 30 oh such confidence with that part that was a bullet that’s just backing yourself that was a bullet what a birdie yeah par for Marcus yeah P’s fine on this hole I’d definitely take a park on this Jade TAPS in the boys were discussing Jane Jade’s change of bag
Yeah so he was uh he was carrying a smaller as we just go to Hole seven sorry we’ll get back to that one par 3 99 M it’s a straight shot yeah it’s up uh it’s not the standard it’s uh it’s about 10 15 M further um but it’s yeah a little
Tougher it’s taken away a few of the lines just by moving that basket um yeah so it’s no longer the straight shot my mistake oh Dylan takes a tree and that’s a reaction we love on Park me that is that was melodramatic um the reaction wasn’t that
Bad on that’s why I stand there with a camera just off to the left there to get that reaction as Jade catches a branch early but it seems to fought through somewhat yeah it’s down there about 80% of the way not a bad spot to be yeah this is
The Matt Hill Vic open iteration of it is it is yeah Mark is going for the backand flex line which is a more straight line we might have crept under there and could have a putt on the flex forand this is the preferred shot in my opinion yeah if
You’ve got it if you’ve got it definitely um it sort of lends itself this hole does lend itself to a forehand it’s a nice that’s an over stable disc good shape on It Go in please like we said like we said it does lend itself to a 4and he h and he
Demonstrated that perfectly as the man in red for his second and he’s just caught a tree there so yeah Jade Jade was throwing a uh he’s got a got himself a smaller pound Rufus bag uh and he’s had it he was showing us at the start it’s full of uh five
Different about five or six different in molds yeah which is different for Jade I’m not sure what he’s reasoning is behind him but he does he does like a change as we see him missed the part there yeah catch cam Ash was telling us that he’s retired the museum he doesn’t
Want to this golf Museum yeah doesn’t another edge of circle but from Dylan he’s coming he’s coming oh Dave that was a fury this uh string of birdies is just is that a few bad hols Dave but that yeah that wasn’t a part to be happy with
At all yeah you you’ll never see it in his body language but would not be happy with that that was as Jade takes a bogey as well and Marcus beautiful nice easy part yeah this hole didn’t see too many birdies on the day as we move into hole
Eight it’s a par three Jace what are we dealing with here yeah 79 m is really just a little backhand turnover line here down the right um it’s a little downhill um but it’s pretty if you if you follow the line it’s it’s pretty easy to get down there yeah higher flips
With slow speed discs just like that and you’ll get the ground play too edge of circle for Dylan yeah a lot of the greens in the woods on this course are quite fast y uh depends what time of year it is though because it can we
Often be a lot of leaves on the ground yeah during the uh the Autumn months or as our inter National friends call it fall uh the the ground can be just covered in the leaves at the moment uh it’s dry it’s summer here in Australia the uh the deck will be
Playing fast yep definitely and sort of shot someone like Dave Perry should have dialed you’d imagine oh is that the alien that we love seeing in throw no it’s for give our viewers at home but Matthew f is color blind so he’s got no idea what color he’s green color line
Not one in nine men J One In N that is a white disc and the alien is not white as Jade throws his Rock three like a rock three should be thrown and that puts him to about seven or eight met that was a really nice
Throw Mark’s got here a long bid a bit of Annie on it gets to about 3 m and Dylan with his oh that would have been his third edge of circle part in the row there’s the cares on display in the background they’re eye catching oh Dave missed
Another this is very unpar he’s very UNP Jay can’s the birdie put him into second place yeah and Dylan before you know it skipped the way to four down so Jade hot on his tail two down Marcus with a very clean one under shout out to any of our Estonian
Viewers Marcus V is a he is he’s an Estonian National Estonian National he’s one of those estonians though that uh we like to claim as Australian whenever we can [Laughter] him and spin that’s right as we have hle nine par three uh this is another one altered
From the standard layout this Vic open Matt Hill iteration uh he basically altered this one to suit the forehand like he did pretty much seven it’s just hidden away be that big clump of trees on the right the one that Jade was basically throwing straight to it then I think he was
Cursing Matt Hill he’s taking all the fun out of this as the jalong boy Dylan felman’s got no aversion to the forand no he skips up just inside nice shot there let’s see what Marcus is for him see much of it so far a lot of wrist in that forand I’ve
Never seen Marcus’s forand before but gets a nice bit of skip that should just curl up into the circle no just outside still nice line from Marcus and here’s a forehand we want to watch oh did I do that yes you did he’s just not feeling at the moment no he’s not
He’s off I’ve never seen that much red on his scroll card Jade oh you won’t be happy with that catching a bit more woodwork there per Perfection yep love up all right Jade with the unlikely bid for par here oh jesz was a decent run yeah scared the
Chains put it in yeah okay that’d be nice thanks mate we see H catch cam Ash in the background there the man who makes the magic happened with the camera oh was that a tada might have been a w they going in there Dylan good solid cards his
Birdie increases his lead on the card yeah Jade with a giving that shot straight back Marcus with another par pretty clean from him and Dave Perry makes his par that’ll conclude the front nine here here Jace let’s get a quick score update before we move on to the back nine so
Yeah to wrap things up Dylan Feldman is on five down Marcus velot one down Jade Brady on one down and Dave Perry on even after a tough first nine but what what else is happening in the uh in the tournament M yeah we’ve got Ryan Hart and Patty Robinson couple of jalong
Locals there on negative five with their jalon compatriot Dylan and Ryan deer at three under we’ve got a hot contest here yeah it’s happening it’s definitely happening so uh we hope you’ll all join us for the back nine and uh until then park it
