  1. He's a legitimately good guy, which seems to work within the sport. I'll be curious to see how long that can keep him afloat as the game continues to move forward. I would say he probably benefits the most from the inability for most companies to market their players. If that landscape was well developed, where would Calvin fall? Either way, he's made himself easy to root for. I hope he gets a major win soon.

  2. Top two things I trust the least:

    1. Bill Cosby around my drink
    2. A poll that says Ohn is the 4th most liked player in disc golf.

  3. As a fellow big brain Calvin enjoyer, there's just no good words to properly describe the steeze the guy walks around the course with. He's a disc golf Joe Hendry, you say his name looking at a leaderboard for a tournament and he appears.

  4. Calvin is the man. Good on him if he doesn't want to do the whole social media thing. I still like him and he'll still sell discs because he's so consistently at the top of the field.

  5. Calvin has a personality that makes you want to root for him. He's chill and funny. Love to watch him throw.

  6. I definitely see the point regarding “what value is there in social media presence” for the pros. As an example, I know Simon is good, and I enjoy his play. But I see no value in pumping out videos where trying to produce novelty trick shot aces are the high point. I’d much rather leave disc golf YouTube content to OT teaching me something practical, while the pros role is to make lead card so I can watch them on JoMez. Or if the pros do produce content, give me Ricky explaining his approach to play during a practice round, or have Paul teach me how to make consistent upshots. You know, practical stuff I can apply to actual play. If I need clowning around, I can watch old Warner Brothers cartoons.

  7. Personally, I love Calvin BECAUSE he doesn't seek the attention. He's genuinely himself, and who he is is not flashy or loud or in need of anyone's validation. Nothing wrong with social media if that's your thing, but I really respect a guy who doesn't try too hard, if at all.
