Just finished front 9 and hole 8 was like something out of a fairy tale, absolutely incredible. I also have to mention that Elias is doing great job! Hard to believe he's only 18 years old.
Connor and Elias (sp?) In Wisconsin and really enjoying your approach to announcing. Classic good info on strategy, outcomes with some color thrown in. You talk enough but don't overdo it. The course looks amazing.
Thank you gentlemen for great coverage and most professional commentary. It was nice to see Paul, playing solid 1st round. Very necessary recovery, after starting in Estonia Open, disc golf horror movie. Looking forward to see delicious tossing in a 2nd round. Hope you will show McBeast almost acing that hole in a front 9. That's GOAT we know. Jakub had a good enough round to make a lead card. And Scott Stokely leading chase card. Nicely done! Good luck to all players. And once again, thank you for this tasty coverage.
Great coverage, but I have to point out since I'm using headphones its 80% on the left ear and 20% on the right for the next time you guys edit these videos. Thanks anyways for the work!
@@artzi_ip someone said it on Pt.1... turn on "stereo coming out as mono" in accessiblity settings. Obviously you shouldn't have to do this but it works for this for now!
Great post-production coverage; covering two events at once is impressive. Is the Pro Forester a pretty weak field due to the Nokia Open? I only watch the DGPT, but since Paul has come to Europe to play a few events I'm checking out some of the events he's in. That being said, I'm not familiar with many players besides Jakub.
Nokia Open is European Pro Tour and this is European Tour so two competing tours at the same time. That is one reason. Field would miss many of the best Finnish players even if there wasn't a Nokia Open. One reason is small prize money. Youprobably can't even pay for the travel and accommodation costs if you are 3rd or 4th. Nokia Open might have a bigger purse than this one. Costs quite a lot for Finnish players to play in more Southern Europe. The same Tournaments in Finland have mainly Finnish players, because it is too expensive to travel and play in Finland for more Southern European players. It's just like in US tours. There are not actually that many who do a full tour. Many are playing only tournaments that are sort of close to them. There are not many Europeans who make a living from playing disc golf.
It also brings a lot more attention to the EuroTour and European Pro Tour...not sure if that was a motivation, but wouldn't be surprised. He's talked about (and worked on) spreading and encouraging disc golf internationally.
He said before the Estonian Open that courses in Europe are more interesting than in USA. He pretty much criticized current courses on the dgpt, which I understand, dgpt has been incredible boring to watch this year, because almost all the courses are golf courses.
@@lokinakor1 i understand where you’re coming from. I’m not trying to condescending or rude but it’s solid use of loopholes. Like James Conrad It makes the game pretty interesting.
@@Kriskoston What makes the game more interesting isn't my concern. I'm not here for their clicks, and defending their internet money doesn't have anything to do with the sport, the spirit of the rules, sportsmanship, or fair play. SO, even though your comment is WAY off topic, I will answer. Loopholes are what rules are meant to close. The jump putt didn't make the sport more interesting, just more inconsistent. I still don't know how many rules they had to trample on to allow it, but it raises many questions. Like, how can you make a rule about having a firm contact with the tee pad, but throw it out the window and shoot from mid air when you get to the green? How can you make a rule about a piece of notebook paper behind your lie which your lead foot must occupy, just to allow improving the lie by jumping or stepping across it before you even start your throw? My take on it is simple: If it is too close to officiate, it is illegal. We don't have instant replay and freeze frame by frame viewed by an official to decide whether a fault has been committed. Getting as close as humanly possible to cheating IS cheating, because nobody is perfect. You will mess up and foot fault, but nobody will be able to be sure about calling you on it. It's like saying Nikko Locastro taking too long to putt makes the game more interesting, maybe, but I still say he has been cheating for a decade and nobody could stop him. He almost got violent when an official called him on it, and got banned from the sport for his conduct. He should have first been disqualified for cheating, but whatever. This generation of disc golfers was raised to be what they are, but their parents might have forgotten to make them complete and well-rounded people. So I don't defend cheaters. If the rule changed back to what it used to be, they could still jump putt, but they would have to land behind their lie, show balance before breaking the plane if their lie, and abide by all the same rules as the rest of us. THAT would make the sport more interesting...
@@lokinakor1 His foot is touching the grass on the ground, but not more. Think about it: If he really was "on the ground" with his front foot, he wouldn't be able to throw the disc like that. The motion would be completely different. Try it yourself before commenting again!
