Good day and welcome to the 2023 Australian disc golf championships presented by RPM and disconnection we’re down in Hobart in beautiful Tasmania the coverage is brought to you by Rad gatekeeper media and parked media many thanks to the Flying disore for the commentary we the tea off podcast I’m

Timmy Bowen and I’m joined by Patty Robinson and and Andrew Ferguson how we doing boys yep good feeling uh pretty Keen to see this final round absolutely it’s shaping up to be a cracker and uh at the top there with a 26 under par luky bang with a a crazy second round

Nipping on well kind of nipping on his heels is David Perry from wa Alex kenniston and Andy fish rounding at the top four you make it sound like it’s going to be a cracker he’s 10 shots up just trying to talk it up the boys are

Going to be off the foot fults they’re going to be calling any technicality they can and Chomp down this 10-point lead only I was there all right to start us off hle one par 4 200 M really fun starting hole funneling into their basket sort of pinched here forehand is

Really the main throw off the te but you might see some guys go big with a roller or a backhand Flex Shot uh yeah and hoping to get a three to start off up to our final card of the 2023 Australian disc golf championships give a round of applause for our

Npos yeah shout out to sha there for both events they went back-to-back events for uh uh or weekend sorry for for the champs did an awesome job 46 yesterday totaling 94 over the weekend Luke Bane and here we have innover Luke Bane been a bit of a on a bit of a tear

This year we’ve watched him Slaughter the first two rounds he’s got the luxury of 10 Strokes between him and second place in Alex and Dave Perry yeah must be nice eh it’s a very comfortable position so he’s going to go safe off the te looking at that forehand which as

You said Patty good placement shot nice overstable Halo Destroyer that’s looking money oh yeah it’s coming back I thought it might have been just hit a pine cone or something on the ground there I think it hit a Tasmanian devil probably it’s poo to be honest Perry stop dead as it tracks Dave

Perry throwing the exact same disc Halo Destroyer confirmed best disc for this hole apparently yeah Big Boy AKA fap AKA peaches AKA cares cves would you boys just settle down and let let them in throw please oh we’re going to throw yeah we’re going to watch a shot come on throw it

Dave oh I like this that popped up nicely yeah this will be JZ he’s got to whip is he Prime position oh that’s a big forehand that’s where the back hands land great shot also on 104 representing in disconnection and Alex Ken Alex AK-47 straight out of wa and he’s got 12

Discs to choose from off this box but uh being in boy you think with you think with the name like AK-47 he’d be Straight Out of Compton I was going to say have we established what he used to game with that was it csgo or Minecraft don’t know

I know we’ll have to find out but uh he’s going for the you guessed it Halo Destroyer oh you kidding o oh he’s turned this look at the flip that is ideal see you later that is that is a good move on that disc good settle missed fish’s Drive

Apparently y all right so fish ended up there with a perfect looking Drive oh that just turned it off jeez it just needed half a meter and that was clear little short but he’ll be in C2 bany this is going to be very tight

Angle to get to the B it looks like this is a little bit right and getting caught up yeah he had to take on all of that right side to get the angle into the green there and he just caught a bit of vro on the side there Dave to start the

Charge it’s a good line but looks a little bit short need a bit of ground play I reckon that’s maybe just inside the circle great shot throwing the in of alien negative five Glide that disc just wants to get down oh Alex is just going

To let this one in out a little bit early and he’s probably in C2 but yeah after that drive he’s going to be disappointed with that looked like it wanted to pop a little bit so probably the right dis Choice maybe yeah as you said Fergy little bit

Early byy I’ve never seen him in trees he just went through the bush must have had a little pocket to throw through there very impressive fish from range o good angle oh go on oh that was looking good that would have been a good highlight so here’s Alex

Going to have to jab one I think or is he going it no little from the chest little nipple putt yeah do we find out what the is is it a Halo wbat 3 or something who knows got smacked down yeah yeah he’s not happy that Branch there he says go away

Tre D Perry to put a stroke on the card early big po oh no that timing looked off yeah first part of the day I believe Ban’s got a p for p here doesn’t look like it’s super straightforward into the tray he always looks so shocked when he

Misses and I can see why CU he literally did not miss in round two but that was ridiculous his putting o jeez good catch that was definitely High left High left High left yeah yeah didn’t work for you no no how did he make the basket do that I don’t

Know it must be uh it’s the way he held his tongue in his mouth yeah maybe good popup from Dave there I think we’ll see the tap-ins from Luke and F Luke dropping a stroke on the card early yeah after going bogey free in round two that’s got to feel pretty nasty just

Open the round with a bit of red yep he looks pretty sad about it too um fish there we go oh I game on cracks are forming as we uh walk all the way up the hill to hle two we’ve got a 207 M par five don’t let the distance for you this

Is a mash all the way uphill the gradient really makes your run up and your throws very very challenging as you navigate this hill uh the eagle is in play for the massive arms but really this is just a good birdie chance no real obstacles other than the Mando

That’s keeping you left off the tea you’ve basically got to throw backto back 150 M drives to get a chance at that eagle this is a good start from Dave turning it over is a good move because uh the right side of this hill is flatter than the left just definitely

Helps the run up yeah Alex being a Junior distance Champion will be eyeing off the eagle I sure Oh Come good yeah that’s huge almost that’s gone past catch cam far out that’s huge that is massive do that again and he’s got to look at three Andy fish looking to do something

Similar here it’s a bit of flex on that very overstable though yeah that’s a crazy angle to get there and Luke he’s got a bit of distance on him himself this looks pretty good yeah lots of space out there you’ll love it over there bit of a gallery forming already good to

See Fish running directly uphill for the second shot I like this if you’re not going to Heiser flip something up the hill just cranking it over on a sharp anheiser good way to get up the de up the hill that’s pretty close probably be what 35 40 m out just outside Circle too

You reckon Dave will be eyeing this green off oh I like the height on this gave that a good whip maybe Circle two yeah definitely yeah it’s kind of a basket you uh want to either just Swit the chains or air bullet because if you hit this basket there a fair chance it’s

Coming straight back down the hill yeah that should be pretty straightforward forand approach for Luke there come on Alex let’s see oh that’s got some heat oh it’s a bit low ah yeah little turned over to but that’ll be a forand Toro from bany that’s gone a

Little left I don’t know if that’s going to be the funnest part Perry with nothing but an ax3 upshot to go maybe gone a little deep but that should be no problem straddling out fish taking no time at all yeah no need to when you take that birdie please in zone

Range and that just about hit the pole from Alex so M bany first to act and that got probably as I said you want a air ball if you’re going to miss hitting the tray particularly that sort of curved tray it’s just begging for a

Roll away he’s still out for the par oh that’s good that’s how you gets a 26 down hitting those putts like that jeez I was going to say if he if he bogey there and Dave takes his birdie here I mean you know that’s still a few

Strokes I know but gives himself half a chance Dave did get into the rough a little bit oh tickled the chains but uh not ideal when you’re only a couple of meters away good comebacker though yep so we’re not see much fire just yet it’s good to see a couple of birdies

Here absolutely that’ll put Alex into outright second place getting a stroke on Dave only eight behind bany now so two strokes and two holes and uh fish getting the birdie as well next up Fergie what are we looking at 309 M par 4 you’ve got a very tight

Fairway to navigate it’s quite a short hole but um yeah a lot of players opting to kind of go up and over the top we might see here from Alex Eagle is definitely in play if you can slot this Gap oh no he’s gone gone the Gap and

That’s good yep money you get out of this tunnel any extra distance is just a bonus cuz all you want to do is get through that tunnel keep roll oh there too forunate little roll lovely rewarded so fish has played the Highline most rounds and he’s done that again now with

A big stalling Hiser looking a bit left this and short needs to settle good roll that’s a very good roll 30 long as it doesn’t turn it’s tur settle settle settle settle yeah looks like hit some rough yeah very he might have a bit of a

Bit of a look there might be pinched off but uh should be in birdie Town that’s for sure Dave playing The High Line as well this High shot looks very easy on camera it’s not that easy the boys are making it look easy well the risk of

That roll that almost copped a disc to the Head the risk of the Roll after it lands is is quite High yeah um and I’ve seen BLS end up all the way down the hill I’ve been one of those BLS Pat not a great feeling so bany looking to the skies as

Well taking on the POA wind Y and good settle great result I would I definitely would have liked to seen um plays forc down the the middle yeah that that like I don’t know that Banner that they’ve made you throw underneath past would have been a good

Play great up shot from bany there fish as I said little pinched off but he could jump out that nicely got it over the logs I think hitting those logs would have uh made him take a hold his breath for a few seconds Dave opting the

Layup and rightly so he was a little bit higher than the basket and that would have been a bit fast that green you know Alex is eyeing this off yeah this is Eagle part this is right in his willhouse come on oh and it didn’t get to the road good

Run but uh gave it a chance he going to have a 6 seven meter comebacker by the looks of things little awkward above the basket oh he just hit the top left High left again but as I said they don’t normally get caught yeah that’s a good

Good Eagle to par though it’s not going to feel great yeah never fun to three poot you’d know all about that Fergie that okay I’m not the one called um Timmy three boys boys let’s keep it friendly as bany would say but you’re actually totally right Patty totally

Right as we see plenty of tapin for birdie La All right next up hole four path three 103 M uh you don’t want to land on the road there cuz that is a river of O um pretty straightforward I think you’ll see probably a few guys throw it overstable mid um the big Power throwers might even just throw you know drop down

To to a zone or something like that but um yeah definitely a tricky par three or uh hard birdie to get but definitely a good one nice and safe from fish he was trying to flip up the mid there and cross the road didn’t hit that tree and

Bounce back onto the OB which is lucky but very difficult place to put from he’s like yeah 35 M out and about 15 M lower than the pin what I like about this hole it’s it’s a tough birdie cuz it’s a tough green um you’ve got a lot of elevation

To work with but it is very exposed so you can see that flag already whipping that was very skinny from Dave got under the tree on the far side of the road and that’s a good result he’ll be in C2 looking for the bird it was a good

Little skip up that hill I can guarantee you he’s trying to go right of that uh the the tree in the middle yeah two-pronged tree in the middle catches a lot of discs this is turning over a bit yeah that’s probably a fortunate break there for Luke yeah definitely the kick left

Instead of right kick any kick to the right is going to add 60 m to the next shot yeah yeah I saw him put the tail down on the the first hole these teap pads they’re they’re new and they’re that sort of compacted Clay

On a lot of them yeah and it was pretty wet and muddy the last couple of days didn’t help yeah I mean and your three rounds in there’s a lot of that needs to set stop it I bet you Ash on catch wanted to stomp that down with his foot he just

Knew that was coming yeah and that’s now a awkward you know 13 14 M putt straight uphill yeah one of those 13 14 M putts that feel like they’re well outside Circle three bany with the nice flexed too stalling out needs to get down what

A Sit yeah very nice said fish about 15 M under the pin here and he’s just laying it up yeah not taking on any sort of cage hit it kind of looks like that basket’s on the piss of it a great effort from uh Alex look like you had a

Pretty harsh Tailwind oh getting a little bit of view on the right there as well smid yeah these B oh and it always does that doesn’t it always does that oh oh that’s gross yeah now do do you reput boys no no no way what he’s rep putting for

I’d go and have a look at it at least reut for four you should be able to get this closer to the PIN to be able to drop in a four at least hope so he’s looking pretty deep now that you’ve mentioned it putty thanks definitely don’t reput get a

Roller out there or something yeah see here you go oh there you go it’s two right side air balls from Dave hasn’t quite looked fluid in the putting Stakes at the moment yeah he’s usually very solid in that respect too great pass a from from bany bany with

That just little like step to the side wrist spin action on the putt he’s just so damn good at it a aka Big germ yeah I’d say a little bit of that he’s better at it than big germ though annoyingly good I would describe it as annoyingly good bany if you’re

Listening almost as annoying as me saying ly Bane 50 times around I think we’ve said it a few times now so two Bogies Perry and Alex in for the bogey that will give us stroke to Andrew fish who just drops in his putter from a

Meter now all of a sudden tie for second is at 16 down as we move on a hole 506 M par three very similar shot to the hole that we just saw a nice overstable back end driven into this Hillside is the way to play it there are mandoos keeping you

Left and right so there’s no Spiker options on either side and as you see there there’s a big tree in the middle that is quite a common obstacle that gets hit very Fergy esque design here a lot of straight shots mate did you have any input into this I did

Not actually with this with this coures on I think that might have been an Undertaker from Andrew fish trying toer it up that right side unfortunately has just turned over a little bit here Luke with the driver this looks pretty good good back hand down the left

Side gets that straight slide up to the green and that’s pretty damn good just inside Circle you’re right Patty I do like the old straight shot with a couple of um Fairway options I guess to get there but you keep saying straight shot this whole begs reflex for him this

Looks delicious oh David oh David Bullseye he’s going to struggle to airball that one yeah I’d find a way oh he almost oh did he almost shout out to Simon Tanner gave him the fist bump yeah go on your Tanner go on the right hand route missed

That oh just got underneath good little anti skip there I like it yep that’ll be just outside Circle so fish from range from a long range we’re zooming and zooming and zooming oh good pop yeah settling on the Tailwind side that should be a all right Alex next

Up you want this I reckon with a little bit of left to right wind oh it’s just pushed it a bit right too yeah didn’t mind it out of his hand but that crosswind was never letting that fade back in his bany looks like the flag’s flapping away from might have

A bit of a tail oh that looked strong side to my eyes yeah yeah bit right I reckon that should have caught I’m giving that one the spit out I mean if that one caught Alex jamming it in there oh look at the pressure valve release you said it which

Valve not that one the one up the top near your face on on your Face couple of pars looks like we might maybe seeing a par frame except for Dave Perry yes don’t your head son in the Bull’s Eye if you don’t mind thanks fellas beautiful lovely birdie so as much as I want to say it’s a heated battle for first place it’s

Kind of looking like it’s a heated battle for second place we have Dave taking out right at 17 down you’re within nine whole six 112 met path three it’s a beautiful hole this one it shapes up for a really nice big turnover backand there is a nice big Heiser

As well and this basket is uh I think it’s got one of the best views in Australia yeah I was about to say is it the wind for the Spiker it must be Dave’s going for it this right to left wind it’s begging for it this looks like as long as you get

Past that tree and settles oh it’s gone long I don’t want to see the catch cam turn around stop turning not sure we’ll have to wait and see where that one landed but uh hopefully just the outside Circle fish going the Spike as well oh is it confirmed that he’s only

Throwing comets is that right that’s looking a little high it’s getting pulled to the left oh good trade that’s probably a good trade I don’t know how close that was going to get to OB if it didn’t hit that tree probably probably fine assuming this would be

Destroyer oh skinny oh oh and that’s going and that’s the risk take good settle though what’s he going to throw from there must be a must hopefully he’s got the forand line from there because that is not a great spot to land jeez Alex kistan I should say throwing it

Like he’s about 60% oh great reaction too yeah jez’s probably like 12 13 M and you need to be in the circle for this hole I’m just going to say it it’s Death part Central oh this looks like could be bogeyville that’s layup town all day putting down the hill at this basket

With like you know all of Tasmania underneath the tray you’re not running that part uh we still haven’t got to Dave yet I reckon he might have a look for the yeah B just not having a bar or that yeah neither’s Alex Oh Dave right

There wow oh okay oh this this is a two strike swing two Park jobs in two hes there we go jeez that was a good reaction the race is back on it’s only seven shots look out fish TAPS in the par Alex will

Too par is nice in this all I got a m but a bird’s even Sweeter Oz discs powering team heer Flight Check them out at .com. all right next up hle S power 4 142 M this is a very getable par4 for this uh group and the no card uh you’ll see probably some forehands maybe in a backhand roller off the te uh the no we haven’t seen any Eagles but it it is

There it is um doable if you get onto one that’s for sure there certainly was one Eagle Patty shout out Jackson Sullivan got the eag on this hole actually I witnessed that my bad with the backand roller good memory mate y so Dave that hit a tree but honestly

There’s not a lot of spots on this hole that you can find where you can’t get up and down for the birdie fish will go the roller surely it’s got over nicely good looking angle look at this thing move how far is it to the

Path oh not even 100 maybe no 80 yeah 80 M good looking angle from Alex as well could you Island it these rollers must be difficult to film cuz we’re not seeing the uh catch cam side of things yeah there is a that that famous Patty

Log that they’ve moved in the way of the roller Patty you weren’t happy about that no I wasn’t happy about that and when we say log we do mean I had some thoughts on that it didn’t lay cable it was just was log l there they are the two

Logs that you can see there so Dave come a little short flicking uh do believe this is like a Cayman Tim you do pretty well to know these guys bags actually oh he’s just hanging around them too much all or bany little inside yeah thanks Patty helps

When they are that’s a guardian tree that’s going to be an outside Circle part I reckon I think they each throw about four different discs oh fish is this where that roller got to the that’s sick going strong Tailwind get it up yeah nice l so bany for birdie popping it up oh

The TR M that’s dropped all weekend for him too uh is this Alex’s roller too surely not he’s looking at his second Eagle be I it might be fantastic rollers boys no wonder the C had zero chance at filming it yep that was like too high and then all

Of a suddenly dropped out of the sky and it’s hit pretty Central maybe left side flopped out this uh these basket you need to hit right in the middle I’ll tell you what yeah that’s why I was so shocked to see that left side catch early in the

Round so looks like we’re going to be seeing uh it’s whipping through is abely whipping is it good reset the sign of a pro I’d be donking that straight into the tray right now i’ I’d have my bag on trying to deal with an umbrella three

Birdies and one p for ly Banes so all of a sudden down to six as you look at hole eight Fergie what we got here we got 140 M par for uphill not a lot of Danger on this hole um good drives will kind of get to about here even a little bit

Further up for those big arms and we’ve got the uh basket just nestled next to a tree here we have had the path on the right hand side in the past but um yeah it’s really just a um a open slather on this hole now y it’s a mush and an

Approach don’t hit that yeah even if you do it’s fine shot I always remember back to my first tournament in POA this hole uh we someone threw their disc to the left where that fence is and we went to go play their second shot and there was

A scorpion on the disc oh just to know that you’re in Australia we don’t have enough spiders and snakes we also have scorpions yeah so there you go that’s pretty wild great drive from fish is on rambling over some good disc golf Alex on the roller loving loving this angle I think

Just keep going good win for that as well that is a fantastic roller yeah that’s huge I did see uh Luke Eagle this with the throw in in the first round it’s pretty cool just want to point out Alex is going to be I think maybe C2 for

That second shot on this hole that’s his third eagle look in the front nine hole young boy has come to play that’s turned over from bany got around the tree around the rough and looks like it’s checked up before those bushes over there so that’s not a bad

Result it look like a pretty yed shot Dave nice controlled flick so for that’ll be under the basket that’s a tap in so bany kind of lucky to be in front of that bush to be honest left that out a little wide but that should be not a problem 7 m part

Pin High so fish I don’t know if you can quite get the jump Hut there but he can put it under the basket with a jump oh he gave no I take it back Alex from a similar distance he’s going to give it a crack

For the eagle ah just died in the wind yeah dropping quick birdies bany first to PO it’s been unusually off in this round maybe some third round nerves and that yeah it continues that looked like a good put rocketed that into the chains just got lifted into the headwind I

Believe let see Fish drop in for the Bernie so that’ll be another hole where uh Bay’s just given a stroke to the entire card and that lead precariously down to just five shots now well we’ve got a game on our hands flashback to Hole one 10 shots up down to five things

Are getting interesting as we move on to Hole n which I believe Andrew Fisher St this is a a pro hole if You’ seen one before 119 M downhill the whole way lots of trees to miss and a big drop off behind an elevated basket extremely difficult hole

To get the birdie on you see a turnover back end get all the way down there Dave’s going the alien forcing it over oh come on is he it money that alen yeah but did you see that just die out of the air yeah I don’t know why they call it

An alien because it doesn’t fly it does look like an alien who says they fire but they’re already here so this great from fish but a common result to the back end that loses speed and Fades out onto the next hole no OB over there should be as long as it

Didn’t roll should be an easy up and down for the par with this uh it’s kind of headwind right to left I I don’t mind the forehand actually it’s an option but I was about to say the same thing but I would have got some Flack for that cuz I don’t want

To on any hole I’ll give it up when it’s due oh I did the same thing that felt yuck I’m sure Alex is hating life right now almost hit the rock in front of the that’s going to be very very difficult up and down see if bany can do a better

Forehand nice Flex he’s going left of the tree which he probably wasn’t trying to do and he’s just hit that second one but that should check up and be I wouldn’t say easy up and down it’s never easy approaching this basket cuz it’s quite a difficult uh downhill shot but

Be a good bid from Alex maybe checked up a little short uh I reckon he’s just skipped off the little platform there okay this basket looked very high in this wind yeah so bany trying to sort of come to a stop at the Rocks there that is too skinny that’s missing the Rocks

Hopefully that checks up in some of those trees and he has a look yeah he’s not happy with that one fish fish looks like he’s putting at the wrong basket put for oh sorry I was like how did that happen how is he putting oh Dave hasn’t really got a line

To get this one in he put it at the Rocks yeah fantastic up shot look at the wind look at the flag ripping okay bany okay actually not too bad at all looked pretty gross out of his hand oh he didn’t like that he going to

Reset putts with a Nico amount of chalk on the fingers does LY Bane so sh’s going back to the chalk bad what has more chalk on it Tim Ban’s fingers or your groin no comment as we see Luke Papa even bany can’t put he’s too put off see all of the above all

Day good waited that one out beautifully yeah well done worth the wait that was a really good up and down from bany actually the upshot didn’t look great but great part here for he’s right buddy got very close oh that one’s gone into the spirit of Tasmania yeah that was just all headwind

And look where it landed that’s a great and he managed to get it on top of the Rocks the rocks are actually quite high from that side as fish looks to do the turbo oh that’s was a big deep breath there from fish oh my God I love it hell there’s

Absolutely no way I’d be able to do that I would send that straight into the I was having a m on these baskets and watching that kind of made me feel a little queasy if I’m being honest how did he get that to stick oh dead center well

Done unfortunate double from Alex that hurts yeah not ideal as we look at the end of the front nine Luke Bane 25 down the lead’s down to five Dave Perry’s got a nice lead in second place uh Andrew fish at a down and then Alex at 16 down

Yeah fish keeping a clean card in the front nine please come back for the back nine it’s going to be a red hot Kraken finish cannot wait
