Private equity is a cancer in modern capitalism. They rip the soul out of everything they touch and ruin the culture of every company they take over. They know nothing about the businesses they buy out.
I ❤ the more woods courses comment. I do not watch the ball golf course tournaments they are righty hyzer fests
Throw Down the Mountains course in Brooksville, FL is the most underrated tournament of the year every year
I wish this meant some personnel changes at DD, but I guess not much will change on the operational level
I couldn't agree more with Charlie's take on Waco and The Beast! Definitely wish and hope for more woods & technical golf courses on Tour. Players abilities to take a tree hit, scramble, putt in awkward positions, and hit narrow lines are all awesome skillsets that should be on display for DGPT elite players! They are also much more fun to watch IMO.
Hopefully the disc golf tournament finishes before the Oscar’s said no disc golfer ever.
Simon was never planning on playing Waco. It's a good thing that he has that extra rest built in to his schedule.
As long as I can get a raider/raider equivalent, I'll be fine.
Charlie is so right about getting more wooded courses and courses like the Beast on tour. I want to see players get more technically challenged than watching bomb after bomb in a field.
I find Caroline Henderson's being on the feature card no surprise at all. Remember, Brodie Smith was on the feature card at least twice when he first emerged on the disc gold scene and his rating was still in the 900s. It's all about popularity, and everything about Caroline Henderson is heaps of fun to watch.
To Charlie's comments on Ohn – you know who her MPO counterpart is, right? James Conrad. Yes, he's won before, but he consistently plays +/- 10 points of his rating, earning him way more top 10's and top 25's relative the his win count.
I'm going to give Josh the benefit of the doubt and say he is just ignorant of Simon's tour plans – Waco was never on his tour schedule. So he should really put that long bow back in the case, mainly so it doesn't dry out for the next time he's looking to cast doubt.
Doomsday Josh lol
Biggest question heading into FPO WACO…does 2nd ranked OHN beat MS. Pierce??
its like the Simon's move…….they dropped a $hiiiTTTT load of $$$$$$ in his lap…….it's not complicated…..did he just say betting on disc golf…..are people stupid……greed is a real thing……..those who play know how easy it is to throw a game…..WOW…..I quit following sports because of the sports betting partly……oh well….the integrity of sports left awhile back
Dynamic Disc guy said a whole lot of nothing. Weird vibes.
Rating the hole 18s is an awesome idea!! Thanks for another great show, guys.
NO! Vegas needs to stay out of disc golf!
we did not tell discmania they couldn't have their discs. they chose our discs over theirs because our discs sold better. It was their decision, not ours.
We need more course that reward big throwers by being able to take short cuts (over trees or over water like 18 at Waco) without taking away birdie opportunity to people who throw only 450
