Ricky struggling in C1X with shoulder pain makes sense. I have a torn labrum with surgery later this fall. Putting is the part of my game that is most affected by the pain.
Professional disc golf gets more respect as a sport in Europe, plain and simple. And while I enjoy Terry & Doss, EsaPekkaTupula is my favorite dg commentator...able to do what he does in a 2nd language is beyond impressive.
I’m not sure how fair it is to judge the very few international tournaments versus regular DGPT schedule. Of course, the Euro courses/events are going to be nice. They are basically all majors because they are all majorly important to draw eyes from US audiences. If it looked like every other tournament it wouldn’t be special. If every US event was treated like a major then the US would look just as good as the Euro tournaments.
Why is the volume on the fuckin' DGN commercial twice as loud? I enjoy your videos, but I don't want to hear about Paul McDiscraft having to will it in as long as I live! Please 🙏 DGN is garbage 🗑️
I think price point has something to do with it as well. Disc Golf having a low entry point in the US is great, but it allows for a different market. Disc Golf being quite a bit more expensive on the other side of the pond, can lead to a different type of market who would take the game more seriously due to more money being invested. You would have to have more money to be able to participate and the perception of the type of people who play the sport could be different and possibly more professional.
Maybe it's more cultural. America likes fast and aggressive sports. Likely will never be embraced by the ball golf crowd. Disc golf seems to appeal more to scandanavian easygoing vibe.
It's a real shame you guys can't (or rather, "don't") use proper disc golf coverage in your videos. What we get is the excuse for coverage served up by DGN, at 480p30 if we're lucky. This means you only ever produce a podcast as far as I'm concerned. Your content is audio only, as the video side is unwatchable rubbish, that Marty McFly would have been embarrassed to publish in 2012. And yet, here we are... Avoiding the elephant in the room: DGN destroying the quality of disc golf coverage. Try talking about that every video. Because it is the biggest issue in disc golf today, and will remain so for the foreseeable future.
