Hello and welcome to the 2024 high stakes putting League here on disc golf 716 presented by Spartan discs we are here at Spartan’s location here on Main Street in tananda for today’s action for the first round of the high stakes putting League I’m Dalton your commentator taking you all through the
Action and let’s meet our players for today’s first round first up we have Jake root will be putting with Dynamic Discs judges and is sponsored by Jeremy holky discov and Westcott Wicks then we have Justin mcness also will be putting with Dynamic disc judges however it is
The Rapter ey Dynamic disc judge then we have Brandon coffed who is going to be putting with dis Mania ke2 sponsored by squala disc golf and of course we have Bradford Berwick going to be putting with Inova avrs sponsored by Spartan discs and westcot Wicks taking a look at
Ho one here players we be teeing off from behind the glass double doors that the camera just went through and they will be trying to clear the gap which is about two discs put side by side next to one another they’re going to try to clear the Gap to the Precision basket
And if the disc lands in the base area behind the basket it will result in a minus one gentlemen you’re clear to putt Bradford for his first attempt going a little low there did not go in the basement area so only resulting in you know no harm no
Foul for Bradford Jake now for his first also going a little low not in the basement area here’s Brandon now for his first Brandon through and to the right oh no and goes into the basement bounced off the top of the disc there and landing in
The basement that is a minus one for Brandon and here’s Justin for his first attempt off the left side of the cage and out not in the basement so only a zero there for for Justin on his first Bradford for his second attempt going to go through and connects on it Bradford
First on the board here for our group for our first featured group here Jake trying to match that going for his second and it goes a little low also does not go into the basement Brandon now for his second trying to make up for that minus one he took on his
First just to the right hit the cage area behind the basket preventing it that did not go into the basement Justin for his second now Justin through and off the cage off the band excuse me Bradford now trying to make it two in a row here trying to get up trying to
Get up to just to the right there from Bradford but is on the board with one Jake still searching for his first can he connect on it here sure can dead center there for for Jake root there he’s on the board Brandon trying to get trying to get in
So he doesn’t get minus on this off the left side oh my God another unfortunate bounce there for for Brandon in the basement once again for a minus two and Justin coming up just short there on his last attempt taking a look at the scores there we got
Bradford and Jake with one and you see Brandon with a minus two after going in the basement both times that is going to come into play a lot this uh this go round I i’ like to say hole two over the basement area uh basically
Like a water carry hole if you tea off from the long tead position the black basket is worth two the elevated basket is worth three but if you tea off from the shorter tea the black basket is worth one and the elevated basket is worth two this hole brought to you by
Katie Walcott of Howard Hanner real estate Bradford for his first on this hole nice Bradford connects there on on his first two-pointer Jake going for the same and connects on it as well matching that Jake with his two Justin looking for his first points of the game here going for the two just
A little to the right went to the elevated basket went to the right there to Justin now Brandon trying to get into the game here just short off the front of the cage there for Brandon still minus two right now Bradford now his second Bradford looking to make it two
In a row looking nice steer’s looking nice for br for Bradford right now that’s a four-point hole so far here for Bradford down Jake trying to to answer once again oh he does bar down you love to see it Justin off the left side and out still searching for his
First Brandon still trying to get out of the the negative here this to the right of the the elevated basket once again for Brandon now Bradford looking to make it three for three a six-point swing here would be huge for Bradford this early on in the game and to the
Oh just short there for Bradford but a great hole for Bradford there Jake looking to make it six as well just short as well for Jake root but a great hole for both guys Justin still searching for his first like I said oh off the front of the
Band it’s all right didn’t get minus that’s that’s that’s good here’s Brandon oh a great hole there for Bradford and for Jake grot both men with five now Brandon still in the negative Justin still searching but he’ll get there I’m sure hole three probably the most difficult hole
On the cour course if you’re asking me mandatory left of the flag on the right on the most right tree in the front row the fan will be blowing from to from right to left players will have to kind of force that anheiser through the trees there are multiple team
Locations uh as you can see with each each uh tead being worth a different value I’ll try to uh match that up for you best I can here this is the white tea from where Bradford is teeing on it’s only worth one off the top there for
Bradford Jake also lining up his his one from the white nice Jake takes the lead here of Bradford breaking that tie for now six points for Jake root Justin going for his one on the board Justin connects on his first Brandon still trying to get out out of
The negatives here lining up his one nice that’ll help that a little bit stop stop the bleeding just a little bit so to speak Bradford now for his one off the front of the band a little bit of cage but down and out Jake trying to extend his lead
Perhaps off the cage the spit out for Jake Ruden unfortunately Justin trying to make it two in a row here off the left side that fan that fan really does push the disc a lot more than you think it might but it really does affect it now Brandon this is from
The blue te’s 42 nice two-pointer from Brandon goes from negative to positive real quick love to see it Bradford once again going for his onep pointer little high it’s all right jig trying to get to two points on this hole trying to extend his lead on
Bradford by two like I said just a little short little right there for Jake Justin trying to make it two on this hole as well nice putt there from Jus another two-point attempt here for Brandon is this going to pay off for him oh just left of the of the basket there
But a great turnaround hole there for Brandon back in the positives Jake root in the lead here 6521 only a one point only a onepoint game so far lot can happen obviously we are still in the beginning stages of this h four is a blind Hiser shot the
Players will be teeing off in front of the black Riser that you see there and they have to there is a Mando to the right of the that is being that is uh held up on the Riser uh there’s two team positions the long Tad is for two and
The short Tad is for one Brandon has the first honor here nice that is for one from where they from where they are right now there is a one pointer and the two-pointer is more to our right their left off the the r there for Justin on his
First Jake for one just little right this is this hole ended up being one of the hardest holes I think statistically for a lot of players throughout this entire event Bradford to the right as he just shuts me up shuts me up real quick by making that
Justin off the off the Riser once again for Justin there it’s a tough shot it really is it’s a really tough shot Jake again just a little bit to the right you got to have that Hiser the whole way the straddle does help a little bit
From the knee gives it a little bit more of a clear vantage point but still you can do what Bradford did just there and hit there see now Brandon is teeing from the two-pointer from the straddle you can kind of just make out the right side of
The basket and just sails it right does Brandon Justin now for his one little short there zero here for Justin on this hole now Jake here his one off right all three for Jake on this whole Bradford looking for his second on this hole for one got
It nice hole there for for Bradford getting the two same for Brandon both men with two Jake and Justin with zero Bradford retaking the lead at seven here now we’re coming up to Hole five this is a straight shot for the guys uh there is about one disc length worth worth of
Clearance in between the two black Guardian baskets and to the blue basket blue basket is worth one point if you land in the guardian baskets you will be it will be minus one if you land in the basement area it is also minus one Brandon for his first attempt on ho
Five here connects through it no problem for Brandon Bradford electing to not take his chances this hole is very it’s high risk it’s high risk this hole it’s probably the highest riskiest one it’s a one for one basically electing not to play it is Bradford for this one and Justin connects on through
It Landing up here on the floor does nothing for your score so it is kind of a strategic move there for Bradford and there’s Jake connecting on the uh right side our right their left Guardian basket that is a minus one there for Jake he can correct that still he could
Wipe that off there and there’s Brandon for another one Bradford again electing to not run it this game does require some strategy so whatever you want to do and nice bounce in there for Justin off the left off the left side black Basket in in for the the score and another nice favorable
Kick there for Jake root that’ll even out his score now it’s zero for the hole Brandon looking for three for three oh my God off the top of the band into the guardian basket that is going to only be a one for Brandon Bradford taking the zero for not playing the hole Justin
Nice good putt there for Justin Jake now trying to potentially get on the board here he’s technically made all of his shots so far and there it is Jake scoring with his final one there Bradford with the zero everybody else Justin three for three on the hole
Really good hole for Justin there we now move into hole six brought to you by coffee and coffee and stone through the tire the interesting thing about this is players must call at least one shot through the tire and must make at least one attempt through the tire you do not
Have to go through the tire every single time if you make it through the tire it is two points if you make it without going through the tire it is only worth one but again players must call it to the rest of the card Justin will lineup his
First tried to go through the tire there and almost in the basement if you do land in the basement it is minus one that again is a universal rule for the entire the entire competition Brandon also trying to go through the tire off the the top of the
Bottom of the tire if that makes sense still went through didn’t get it in there see there’s Jake going around the tire if he would have made that that would have been one but it’s zero DD Kevin doing a good job Bradford went through the tire oh disc almost slipped into the basement
There but that’s just going to be a zero there for Bradford Justus now going to go over the top just a little bit to the right there Brandon now going to line up his shot as well through the tire and connects that’s a two-pointer there for Brandon
Nice it’s a tight Gap but it’s very doable Jake going over the top and just off the the right side of the cage Bradford for his second go up and oh just Bradford dancing on that line of going into the basement after hitting that tire two for
Two on that and Justin over the top and in connects on his third Brandon now going for his third through the tire off the off the chains and out you hate to see it the young man went through all all the tires each Time Jake also tried going through a tire on his
Last Bradford now going to go for a little bit of a straddle here and up and over down just a little short there for Bradford on his last attempt Brandon winning the hole with his two-pointer through the tire really close game two guys with seven two guys with six as we head into
Hole seven up the stairs and to the basket at the top of the stairs if you make it from the base of the stairs and you are standing it is worth one point if but players have the option of taking a knee at the base of the stairs and if
You make it from one knee then it is worth two points this could be a big swing hole especially with the scores so close Brandon will go first little standing there little stand shot there Justin will follow off the right side there off the top of the cage there for
Justin now here’s Jake from a knee this would be worth two if he hits that off the side off the divider of the door it is a tight Gap from there you can there’s not a lot of clearance from a KNE but Bradford will go for his shot for two
And in Nice Shot there for Brad for two-pointer that will extend that will take him to Soul Leader for the time being Brandon another shot from from a standing position but off the cage This Time Justin once again going for his one-pointer nice good putt there from
Justin Jake going for a KNE once again Jake oh off the bank the bank shot the two-pointer bank love it that will reti the score for the moment can Bradford rake the lead little short there for Bradford Jake and Bradford tied for nine At the Moment Justin now from a knee for
Two off the door Jake got two earlier looking for more it be a four-point hole if he hits this off the band off the band there for Jake and now Bradford once again going from a knee he’s already he’s already hit one looking for four nice Bradford a good good hole for him
Everybody scoring on that hole but Bradford coming away with the lead 1197 is our scores is going into whole eight sponsored by the Spartan 716 photo booth perfect for every occasion on this picture perfect hole which is what you have to be with Precision to this basket
It’s a about a 30 35 foot straight on shot dead straight through the target basket one point per make and if the disc does happen to land in the basement like I said it is minus one Bradford winning the hole will go first here with after his four little right there for
Bradford Jake to try to narrow the lead here see that’s the thing that was a great putt but it’s off the the Precision Target it just makes that that opening so so small again another good putt just Just a Touch off there for Brandon Justin off theit off the off the target
As well Bradford for his second connects on it Bradford first to score break the seal so to speak ah Jake just a little short there Brandon for his second connect on it that’ll push him slightly ahead of Justin unless if he connects here never mind never mind Bradford trying to extend his lead
Past uh get get away from Jake a little bit more he does another good hole for Bradford Jake root through the opening good butt there for Jake he’ll move into double digits now Brandon off the top little high a little right Justin for his final attempt on
The first go round dead center for Justin decent hole for the guys here everybody scoring once again Bradford and Justin with two Jake and Brandon with one Bradford has a three-point lead on Jake as we head into hole 9 the cage hole to the elevated basket the long T
Is worth two points which is about right up against the wall players can step putt if they would like from there the short T is only worth one point and there is a taped boundary at the bottom of the base there as you can see if the
Disc lands inside of that area it is going to be a penalty stroke of minus one Bradford from the long tpad position can he connect on his first little short yeah so right about there is where the two-pointer is for the guys here off the band there for for Justin
It is the long shot for the women’s te’s are is a three-pointer which we will see that is about where the onep pointer is two-pointer for the girls Nice Shot there for Jake Bradford is second two-point territory nice putt there for Bradford two-pointer Justin thought about the two going going for the
One little little right there for Justin and just rolls out of the the OB area and just a little short there for Brandon Jake for his one little little left there for Jake Bradford for his final attempt here on the front nine or the first nine I should say
Another two-pointer for Bradford a four-point hole good way to end the nine for Bradford Justin for two nice oh wait I just niced him in the air Oh I thought that that was like dead center that was a disgusting spit out oh my God Brandon connects two-pointer Jake to close the hole out
Under and in the penalty kind of cut away there but Jake and Justin Landing in the penalty area they take a minus one on the whole Bradford with a four and Brandon with a one now we come back around the way it works as everybody gets two laps around
The N ho whole course so we are back on here on hole one technically hole 10 sponsored by 716 chicks one of the fastest growing women’s disc golf groups same rules apply to the Precision basket through the glass door Bradford GNA line up for his first 17 for Bradford right
Now as Brandon and Jake are chasing him with nine Justin not far behind with eight just a little short there for Brandon on his first attempt on the second nine off the there by by Jake Justin little high off the top did not go into the basement so avoiding disaster there and
There’s a little off the right side there for Bradford on his second Brandon trying to have a bounce back hole from the last time he attacked this he goes through it off the right hand side of the Precision basket that was there’s only one link of
Chains it is a tough basket to hit that is for sure now Jake off the top of the cage and I don’t I don’t see it went in the basement Justin off the front of the cage just a little short nobody able to draw anything so far can Bradford break
The lid off break the seal don’t want to repeat myself and use but uh here we are Brad Bradford does connect there Brandon now looking for his first a little short but does didn’t get the minus this time that’s good here’s Jake trying to get on the board
There he and Bradford having the same go round This Time Justin just a little short on his shot kind of a small replay of ho one I guess J Jak and Bradford with one but Brandon and Justin with zero back on hole two technically hole 11 again over the basement to the two
Basket options across the way elevated basket from the long is three short basket from the long is two and then from the short pin position the short T positions the elevated is two the black basket is one again this hole sponsored by the official dis golf the official realtor of disc golf Katie
Walcott Bradford who had a great showing last time continues the hot streak the jumper the stepper to the elevated basket is working for Bradford that is for sure Jake trying to match that again off the top off the top there for jako Brandon going to line up his shot from the
Short up and in the elevated nice nice putt there from Brandon Justin from the short position goes up and left of the elevated basket there Bradford now lining up his second going for it again just a little short there for Bradford Bradford’s got that stepper to the elevated basket he
He’s got that locked in right here three for five ain’t bad Jake root going for it again a little short did connect on it in the first round trying to find similar success in the second round here Brandon goinging for a short again a little left didn’t like it you can
Tell he did not like that out of his hand Justin trying to to score on this hole another bad spit out there for for Justin Bradford for his third going for it again off the top he’s got it dialed in for the most part Jake little short again went for
The elevated each time but uh now Brandon going to go for the long te first time anybody’s done that today and almost breaks the glass almost breaks the glass with that with that bomb now here’s Justin to the right well that was entertaining Brandon and Bradford making their steppers to the elevated basket
Jake and Justin with zeros on this hole hole three back through the woods to the basket we go with the fan blowing once again the Mando on the flag there you see there on the left of this view but on the right as you can see the flag is
The Mando three different teeing locations for the guys a lot of them elected to do the three the the onep pointer last time we’ll see what they elect to do here Bradford for his one little left there for Bradford Brandon going to go for two if you can see behind him where
Kevin is standing that is the three-point option for the guys here Jake GNA go for a onep pointer here little right for Jake Justin also going to line up a one couldn’t really see the end of that but they it did not go in Bradford now for his another onep
Pointer the wind really took it there at the end it was looking pretty good until until the fan picked it up now Brandon for two the only one electing for the two and connects on it nice putt there from Brandon for two put him at 13 Jake now for one off the
Band Justin now for his one Justin off the band brutal lot of metal no points for a lot of these guys Bradford for one nice Brandon again going for the two looking for four looking for a fourpoint hole that would be huge and he hits it a big hole for
Brandon that kind of brings him back into the conversation he was never really out of it to be fair but and Jake with a nice butt but Brandon with a four-pointer really has narrowed the gap between him and brand him and Bradford excuse me nice putt there for
Justin take a look at that 21- 15 after the four-pointer there for Brandon Jake with 11 Justin with nine both men not out of it by any means necessary still a lot of golf to be played back here on whole four the blind Heiser shot around the Mando pole two different teing
Locations like I said this hole brought to you by team Jeremy holki disc golf disc golf Made Simple Brandon going to line up his onep pointer here as you can see from the onep pointer the basket is pretty visible but then when you line up the two-pointer it is not very visible at
All Bradford going to elect to go to an this is not for extra points this is just for better visibility nice putt there for Bradford Jake rot nice made that correction from the last round he was right in the first round connects on it there nice putt Justin lining up his
One still hitting that he hit the he hit that Riser twice in the last round still still finding it still finding that Range Brandon again for one little right it’s all right Bradford again from the knee looking for a second make in a row on this hole ref findes it Bradford with two
Takes him to 23 Jake once again nice really made that correction two in a row for Jake Justin for his one there it is there it is also made the correction there Brandon now lining up two Brandon’s been going for these twos little long a little long again
That is a pure blind shot it’s really hard to see the basket even out of out of straddle for these guys and Bradford off the pole off the Mando pole two out of three ain’t bad though Jake for his third going for three for three he does great hole for Jake rout Justin
Now looking for his second right there though for Justin a good hole for Jake root three for three scores are still close that puts him back up with with Brandon we’re back here on hole five Bradford still holding on to uh to his lead here negative one in the guardian baskets
Negative one if you go into the basement area one point to the blue basket this hole sponsored by fourpoint Consulting of Buffalo visit FPC o.com to learn more information about saving you money Jake Ro for his first just lasers it in Bradford once again electing to not play the hole but
Again it’s a strategy thing CU again you could go for the one but there’s a good one there for for Brandon he sneaks it through you could go for the one that is the goal obviously but it’s probably easier to get into the negative but these guys are
Cutting this hole up cutting this hole up nice Jake again firing it in there Bradford just ran up to throw the disc away good hustle Brandon for his second nice Brandon for two Jake for two do we see Justin for two we do good clip for these guys here Jake
Looking for his third second hole three in a row let’s see it ah into the guardian basket only one for Jake Roode on this hole look at Brad for trying to figure out where he has to stand just to throw it away man’s trolling out here Brandon three for three Justin
Looking can he do it nice putt for Justin nice putting gentlemen look at that threes for Justin and Brandon Jake would have had two at least if he didn’t make the guardian basket and Bradford trolling all right hole six through the tire everybody’s favorite Tire shot over
The basement minus one in the basement must call at least one shot through the tire through the tire is worth two points around the tire and in is only worth one point let’s see how the guys attack this one this go round Brandon will line up
First ghost was going to go through the tire barely avoids the basement Justin for his first off the tire and kind of lands in there good work for Kevin Jake for his first over the tire and in Jake root Nice Shot there putting him to 16 Bradford went off the tire and into
The basement first like big mistake for for Bradford in this round Brandon now going to go through the tire gets caught up there a little bit Kevin getting his workout in today doing all the disc retrieving with with this over the top for Justin nice Jake for his second over the top
Again and off the front kind of like off the band but chain out as well you hate to see it Brad Redford going open over and in needed that to correct the uh the minus one that he just took Brandon right through the the tire no
Fear Bros been going for that all round Justin over the top and in another good hole for Justin he is keeping himself in it putting him up to 15 I believe off the top avoids the basement for Jake Bradford for his last up and over and off the band for
Bradford don’t look now but Brandon has closed the Gap to a two-point lead for Bradford 2321 with Jake and Justin not far behind h s brought to you by disc by Diamond Hawk golf course and Pub Western New York’s Premier Ball Golf course pub and live music
Venue thank you so much for your sponsorship of this event and this hole and let’s see how the guys handle the uphill shot this round Brandon from a knee that will tie it that will tie it 2323 Bradford and Brandon Brandon who started minus two is now tied for the
Lead Jake from a knee just a little short there for Jake that would have really that would have been really beneficial for him Bradford now for an this would push him to 25 if he hit this off the off the divide and in couldn’t do what Jake did last round with the banking
In Brandon looking for another one for from the knee and connects and takes the lead 2523 unreal nice putt there from Justin as well Jake root now from from a knee for two up couldn’t Bank it again Bradford this would tie it if he hits this from a knee for
Two off the left left side this would be a big swing for Brandon a Sixpoint hole if he connects on this no off the left again that would have been crazy Justin nice smooth Jake two short Brad this would tie if he goes to the knee he
Does if he hits this it does tie at 25 25 a piece for Brandon and Bradford Justin at 17 Jake root at 16 it’s a close game going into the final stretches of this round of this of this matchup hole eight tunnel shot to the Precision basket
This this hole may only be worth one point but every Point definitely will help obviously it is not the winner of the round it is the best four Collective scores will move on but the more the listen the more points you have the better you are the better the better off
You are later on in the competition Brandon just a little low Justin connects making it look easy straight through the center Bradford now for his first little low there for Bradford Jake for his first off the left side little bit of chain but it was it wasn’t going to go in
Anyway it was two left little short again for Brandon Justin for his second in a row here oh God sailed it Bradford for his second off the band Jake oh oh it was like in the basket but it doesn’t count that sucks a great putt there for for
Brandon that was a bad spit out for Jake Justin now going oh just a little short as well Bradford for his shot for his third nice saes are right in there there Jake down the middle oh my god dude Jake I feel for you bro that that’s

Bradford lines it up and nice putt for Bradford ties it again 28 for both Bradford and Brandon Jake for a step not in the OB B area avoids that Brandon for another two this would put him to 30 oh off the cage Justin for his two this would put him to 20
Short not in the drop zone OB whatever you want to call call it this would also push Bradford to 30 if he hits this it’s a little right Jake for two little left little high Brandon with his final shot of the round looking for
30 does he have it he does not but he does not avoid the Drop Zone a 28 there for Brandon a great round for him Justin for two to get to 20 oh just short 18-point day for Justin a very respectable score out here Bradford for the sole win of the
