As much as Niklas putt on 14 took most of the excitement out of the Final stretch and it was super deflating…he could have literally just parred 16 and 17 for potential playoff. He had his chances. It’s just Hole 14 spit out was so brutal.
He also missed two easy putts leading into 14. Anyone who says he got robbed is delusional. It was there for the taking. He still played a great tournament
Thank you for the update about the New London course! At some point I would love to make the trip in order to play and happy to hear that it could be an even better course than it is now!
Isaac has to be the most humble athlete. I’ve never heard him be any type of cocky. When I heard the foundation pre-show I knew it was over for the field just based on how he talked😂
I loved hole 14. It provided electric results on Saturday and Sunday. Sully's throw in on Saturday and Luke's putt on Sunday. There was space above the basket that was rocky that players could land the disc there safely. Great hole and with great score separation - which is what we all want. I wouldn't be opposed to some kind of wall 35-45 ft down the hill to save rollaways, but I didn't mind it how it was. These are the best players in the world. They can deal with a hard hole.
I’ve been to 10 different tour stops and ivy hill was the best location by a long shot, totally agree with Nikko. Such a breath of fresh air to finally leave the floodplains and forgotten hiking trails that we are usually stuck playing on. (No disrespect to those courses)
"Wire to wire" is based off the final score for each round. Having staggered start times throughout the day it would be almost impossible for anyone to have always been the leader "wire to wire" if that means they always had to hold the lead.
At the end of every day, he was never not 1st place. When they say wire to wire they mean that he was never losing at any point when the days were complete.
@@epheezee313 He was on the same card but with sports like these, where the times are staggered, "wire to wire" means at the end of the day, after all the rounds are complete. It has never meant anything else in that context.
I liked Scott Stokely's take on hole 14, just flatten out a 5 to 7 foot radius around the basket and make sure no rocks are on it, Minimizing rollaways and letting ppl run puts more freely.
I'm crushed for Holyn. +8 on the final round has to feel so, so bad. She had it and just collapsed under the pressure. I hope she gets more comfortable. Eveliina as a champion is great. She has the most infectious smile in disc golf and I always like when she wins. Her struggles make her really relatable. Kristin has clearly taken a step back this year, and I wonder if she makes a comeback. She's not a lock for podium anymore. Although I like Eveliina winning, watching Kat winning worlds would have been ELECTRIC. Isaac defending is sweet. His game is so awe-inspiring when he's on, and he's a pure golfer that just wins on skill. Love it. I can't wait to see more of Buckets and Luke Taylor. Luke might be the new Eagle with that huge distance.
I'm pretty new to watching disc golf and haven't even thrown a disc golf disc, but I found both courses among the most fun to watch -- both in the top 10 for sure. I was surprised to hear that some players didn't like Ivy Hill and even that some of the audience found it boring. I suppose that told me that I hadn't picked up on some of the nuance yet. It'd be fun to get a walk around Ivy Hill with Paul McBeth to have him talk about how he'd change holes, if at all, to make it more appealing to everyone.
Back to back in objectively the most competitive and demanding era of disc golf to date and he's only like 24. He doesn't overthrow for big power shots and he doesn't throw forehands so his body and game should age extremely well.
@@vJackaRoo My friend, Isaac was not “allowed” to win this title by anyone. He is the superstar you speak of that stepped up and took it. 37 under is the tippy top of elite on these courses
How do yall feel about Isaac saying how great he felt when he was on your show, Gannon saying how good he looks and then Isaac immediately after winning saying he thought he had no chance? 😂
Cannot believe that Robbie happened to pick both the fpo and mpo winners to underperform on the pre-worlds debate night. He must be shocked. Love Robbie, just thought it was funny.
I know a lot of people trash the PDGA rating system (I agree it's not perfect) but if you compare the top 20 rated MPO players and the top 20 at worlds it's a lot of the same people. just sayin
New London played 2,5 strokes easier is not relevant to the hot round. The guy who shoots the hot round was probably not throwing potential OB shots on the mentioned holes.
My exact thoughts; I think it's a bit of a fragile mindset to protect oneself from how well the pros played. You can go back and watch the two holes where potential OB would have occurred.
Regarding the New London course, i was under the impression that Paul McBeth built the course on his own property which he bought along with his house nearby. After he moved the property got sold to Nick Carl. Whatever happened to that?
I didn't mind hole 14 basket being on a massively sloped hill. I was a little uncomfortable worrying someone was gonna roll their ankle on the rocks or haggard steps.
If I see one more person complaining about spoilers.. full 24 hours later is crazy. people will do anything but demonstrate self control and stay off social media.
Trevor thinking that his “Trevor’s trivia” this week was a good idea just shows how little is up there. You really didn’t think you guys would look at the leaderboard at all during the podcast??? 🤣
Maybe somebody should tell Paul that petitions and good reviews for the course wont do anything 🤷 his public call for action is definitely a contributing factor to the confusion around this.
I really like any hole with a basket on a big mound or a crazy sloped greens. It makes putting so much more interesting to watch as a spectator when there is elevation. Even I hated the green on 14. If it had been just grass, like hole 10, I almost certainly would have liked it. Its such a bad design choice, on the biggest stage, and literally as people predicted would happen, it ruined the end of their tournament. Serves them right. PDGA gonna PDGA.
Obviously Isaac played out of his mind as far as strategy and putting are concerned, so I'm not upset that he won. I am, however, feeling pretty cheated that Isaac almost never got punished for his shanks on New London, and that he almost never got a bad break with his discs reacting on the greens like almost every other player did. I know luck is apart of winning, especially at the highest level, but I feel bad for people like Niklas that had a huge chance of winning, but got cucked by the course and not his skills.
I disagree, this was MUCH more entertaining than Kristin winning by 27 shots. First final round of FPO I’ve watched on the edge of my seat for it’s entirety
long answer short - NO, he's not a hall of fame player - great players win consistently. he's shown that he's not able to win on a consistent basis. god damn Ohn, took a huge poo this tournament
Let's be honest. The only thing interesting about the FPO division when Kristin isn't in contention, is praying Ryan doesn't win. Also, Ivy Hill was the better of the two courses for viewership. Much more entertaining course.
Holyn's mental game is the only thing worse than Eveliina's putting. Also Kristin hasn't been the same since she quit jump putting. It's kind of a shame she's let the nobodies affect her game when half the MPO field foot faults on step putts every hole.
I don't think the jump putting thing has any relevance. She fell and broke her ribs or something, dude. Then, just got married, it's just life's ebbs and flows. She'll be back once she can refocus on DG.
I kept hearing everyone say he went wire-to-wire. I don't consider Isaac to have gone wire-to-wire. To me, wire-to-wire is when the entire field was equal or behind the leader's pace at every hole of the tournament. Therefore, the leader never lost the lead. So if someone on your card takes the lead, that is not wire-to-wire in my opinion. Maybe we need another term similar no-hitter vs perfect game in baseball.
Wire to wire is being the leader after every round, it always has been. When Issac tee'd off to start his round there was already a leader in the clubhouse. Disc golf/golf doesn't care what your score is after hole 7 or 17, it only matters what you finish the round at.
Sounds like you guys are p.r people for Bedford county. Lost alot of respect for Bedford county. Didn't know that the only undeveloped lots in the area are those lots.
Were players getting stung by yellow jackets? Thats crazy. I may be slightly allergic but those things hurt baaad. I often cant sleep after getting stung, they hurt bad enough to keep me awake for around 30 hours. Then i swell up pretty bad for around 6-10 days. Not to mention my heart rates sits at around 160bpm for about 8 hours after. I got into 3 nests last year and ever since then im so paranoid about it that any time im outside and something touches my leg i jump up in the air. Ive destroyed 4 nests this year in my yard. Everyone i talk to says they are the worst theyve ever seen this year, not sure why but damn i hate it.
Hello guys, Although I'm aware you attended the event in person and didn't watch DGN at all, I'm kinda surprised the live coverage wasn't discussed at all during the POD. Let me share my little experience. I re-subscribed my DGN just for this event after like 2 years. I usually just don't have much time to watch live anymore and as a European, it's really tough for me to watch live events that are not taking place on East Coast. But since I know these courses so well from your videos, I just wanted to see the live coverage. My experience after such a long time is, to put it mildly, disappointing. I don't care about few minutes of stream being off because of technical difficulties. But the Issue was that New London live coverage was basically unwatchable. It was so blurry most of the times, I felt like owning dial-up internet again. Especially when you compare live shots of players throwing (where you very often literally can't see a thing) with nice clean drone shots and polished ads. One would think that the Issues with live broadcast quality end up at Ivy Hill open golf course. Well, how mistaken this expectation truly was. It's definitely better then wooded New London, but far from perfect. The quality went drastically down when changing camera angles during live shots. Which is honestly the moment you want to see the most. Just watch the recap videos on DGN YT channel and you can see the point. I understand the arguments how Discgolf is just a small sport and the costs for DGN is partly supporting the Tour, players and the sport itself. However when I consider DGN costs are more than a Netflix monthly subscription at the moment it simply doesn't make any sense. The DGN wasn't cheap even years ago but since the pricing went up before this season I was expecting some improvements. Not sure if above Issues are mainly due to location of this specific event, but the product surely feels not good enough in my eyes. I hope you all have a great week!l
It’s wild because when yall first played ivy months ago, I remember hearing the comment “certainly they’ll change hole 14s green for worlds” and I’m sure they heard the feedback and ignored it. Fix that hole and it makes that course so much better
Just happy Nat Ryan didn't get podium. They should make restictions that fpo is only for biological women. Since the "MPO" is an open divison for men, women, anything

As much as Niklas putt on 14 took most of the excitement out of the Final stretch and it was super deflating…he could have literally just parred 16 and 17 for potential playoff. He had his chances. It’s just Hole 14 spit out was so brutal.
He also missed two easy putts leading into 14. Anyone who says he got robbed is delusional. It was there for the taking. He still played a great tournament
He definitely earned 2nd place.

I loved hole 14. It provided electric results on Saturday and Sunday. Sully's throw in on Saturday and Luke's putt on Sunday. There was space above the basket that was rocky that players could land the disc there safely. Great hole and with great score separation - which is what we all want. I wouldn't be opposed to some kind of wall 35-45 ft down the hill to save rollaways, but I didn't mind it how it was. These are the best players in the world. They can deal with a hard hole.
I agree!
I’ve been to 10 different tour stops and ivy hill was the best location by a long shot, totally agree with Nikko.
Such a breath of fresh air to finally leave the floodplains and forgotten hiking trails that we are usually stuck playing on. (No disrespect to those courses)
Eveliina needs to make her commemorative worlds win disc whatever her putting putter is that would be amazing.
With a wounded duck stamp.
Luke Taylor been destroying local leagues and tournaments in Michigan for years. Boy is a shooter.
"Wire to wire" is based off the final score for each round. Having staggered start times throughout the day it would be almost impossible for anyone to have always been the leader "wire to wire" if that means they always had to hold the lead.
Niklas was on the same card though.

Calvin has made final round lead card at the last 4 World's.
And lost all of them
If only he could ever close the deal.
Drive for dough, putt for fun- Evelina
As the old saying goes.. .. wait a minute!
I had a blast watching this World Championship. All of my favorites duked it out and Isaac won again!
I'm crushed for Holyn. +8 on the final round has to feel so, so bad. She had it and just collapsed under the pressure. I hope she gets more comfortable.

Fredy Meza makin almost $1000 from his world's finish. And Paul Oman making the cash by a few strokes! Nice!
My Elevation Discs has been amazing for deep wooded golf and hills. Them things are fun as heck too!
How on earth could Brodie think that having your wedding right before worlds isn’t a storyline?

Because those were Isaac’s words after he won on coverage.
I completely agree and have been thinking about how Isaac’s journey is reminiscent of Paul’s beginnings.
Doing nothing all season and then winning worlds?
Not even close. McBeth went into beast mode and destroyed opponents. Isaac hangs around until everyone else makes a mistake. Boooooooring
Luke Taylor was ROY last year with Silva not Joey buckets
That’s a bad mistake lol
DGPT that is not PDGA that was Paul krans and morgan lynds
Cannot believe that Robbie happened to pick both the fpo and mpo winners to underperform on the pre-worlds debate night. He must be shocked. Love Robbie, just thought it was funny.
Would love a finals debate night recap where they go over everything said in the pre show!
I loved the drama on 14. Massive risk / reward was fun to watch.
When you guys are talking about holes would it be possible to put up graphics while you talk about them?
I know a lot of people trash the PDGA rating system (I agree it's not perfect) but if you compare the top 20 rated MPO players and the top 20 at worlds it's a lot of the same people. just sayin
Sure on average it is fairly close, but sometimes it's absurdly wrong
Yep its sometimes very wrong but it evens out
@@prattacasterto me this sounds like people misuse it and then claim it is bad.
49 points on "... Where'd that guy finish??" 36 for Goose, 81 for Double G, 62 for Casey and 56 for Triple G
Who is "triple G"?
New London played 2,5 strokes easier is not relevant to the hot round. The guy who shoots the hot round was probably not throwing potential OB shots on the mentioned holes.
My exact thoughts; I think it's a bit of a fragile mindset to protect oneself from how well the pros played. You can go back and watch the two holes where potential OB would have occurred.
Yeah, might change his shot of the tee though. Easier to throw a driver when you know there’s no danger right.

Idk about FPO man… it’s a tough watch these days especially with Kristin not playing great this year
“Popped a benny” 😂
Maybe they said and I missed but Salonen went 0/23 on C2 putts. Thats crazy for the best in the world
Man, Disc Golf World is really going after you guys hard! F’ the haters! You guys keep at it. 🍻

@@GripLocked the youtube channel The Disc Golf World. Sorry, should’ve worded that better.

8:40 tee>green, good to remeber the FPO is nowhere bear as competetive and it makes Salonens insane stat sound even more insane
So they’re keeping the worst part of New London, and losing the best holes? 🙄 Wtf?
I thought Ivy was fun to watch for the viewer. The holes were different. Looked different. Filmed well. I enjoyed it.
I haven't listened to the whole pod yet so I don't know if you talked about it but what do you guys think about Haley King calling your area of racist

Unfortunately i agree. I often like fpo more than mpo, for quite a while now. But it wasnt very interesting at all this year.
Not showing the hole graphics while you go through them was a big miss.
i thought hole 14 and 17 were the most exciting to watch all tourney!
Major bummer 🫡
I didn’t enjoy New London.as much as I did Ivy Hill. Felt like New London was just as fluky and lucky with tree kicks as 14 was at I y.
Get a little of the grant money to help redesign the course!
12 OB strokes and 2 Hazard penalties in the final round. Hard to overcome all those extra throws over 18 holes.
Obviously Isaac played out of his mind as far as strategy and putting are concerned, so I'm not upset that he won. I am, however, feeling pretty cheated that Isaac almost never got punished for his shanks on New London, and that he almost never got a bad break with his discs reacting on the greens like almost every other player did. I know luck is apart of winning, especially at the highest level, but I feel bad for people like Niklas that had a huge chance of winning, but got cucked by the course and not his skills.
Salonen spend more time on her off-season playing padel and on the golf range than putting😂😂
I disagree, this was MUCH more entertaining than Kristin winning by 27 shots. First final round of FPO I’ve watched on the edge of my seat for it’s entirety
Totally agree. Back and forth lead changes are exciting even if it is off bad golf shots.
Guys... please do your research before the show: Luke Taylor is the 2023 ROTY.
Whining about spoilers is a personal problem
long answer short - NO, he's not a hall of fame player - great players win consistently. he's shown that he's not able to win on a consistent basis. god damn Ohn, took a huge poo this tournament
Konnor should have done 33 just to secure the win and he would have actually gotten the right number 😂
The logo is clearly not orange
Is the atlas dg supply closed?
So close, I guessed Method
Innova posted it on TH-cam yesterday for us 😢
57:00 filler hole? I barely know her
Isaac about to peace out on Prodigy, why would he stay? Get the biggest pay day you can Isaac
Let's be honest. The only thing interesting about the FPO division when Kristin isn't in contention, is praying Ryan doesn't win. Also, Ivy Hill was the better of the two courses for viewership. Much more entertaining course.
😂😂😂love it
I like it because I play closer to FPO on my best days. It’s gives me a more realistic comparison of my game and what discs/shots to throw.
FPO should have played only two rounds at IVY imo.
comments about spoilers cause cancer
This is an era without any of the superstars stepping up allowing the high level but mundane Isaac to win.
Ivy hole 4 bad, hole 6 bad, hole 10 fine, hole 14 bad, hole hole 17 fine.
Podcast ends at 121:49
Question…why did Brodie DNF at Worlds?
His hands were swollen after getting stung they said
They talk about it in the podcast, maybe listen to it first.
Remember when Robbie said you can’t win worlds putting terribly… smh 😅
You shouldn’t be able too to be fair. FPO is in an odd place at the moment.
You can't. FPO is barely above an amateur division, any stat for there is 100% irrelevant to real discussion.
Holyn's mental game is the only thing worse than Eveliina's putting. Also Kristin hasn't been the same since she quit jump putting. It's kind of a shame she's let the nobodies affect her game when half the MPO field foot faults on step putts every hole.
I don't think the jump putting thing has any relevance. She fell and broke her ribs or something, dude. Then, just got married, it's just life's ebbs and flows. She'll be back once she can refocus on DG.
Glad the cheater didn’t win. She probably would have tried to argue strokes as in bounds. Once a cheater, always a cheater glad she could win.
Dropping top 10 to do the trivia. Not a fan

the final round of the fpo was exciting .. but some of the worse golf I have seen at a pro level.
Imo if there were no issues with signal (so Jomez confirms this), New London is much more fun to watch than Ivy.
Sounds like you guys are p.r people for Bedford county. Lost alot of respect for Bedford county. Didn't know that the only undeveloped lots in the area are those lots.
Hole 14 at Ivy, I like the green. I am shocked that the best can’t figure it out. It wasn’t that hard to remove the unpredictable ground play.
hahaha wth r u talking about

Okay…. I’ll say it, I LOVED HOLE 14! Gave us the drama
Luke Taylor was the rookie of the year in 2023, bozos…. Your job is disc golf and y’all still don’t know anything
It’s wild because when yall first played ivy months ago, I remember hearing the comment “certainly they’ll change hole 14s green for worlds” and I’m sure they heard the feedback and ignored it. Fix that hole and it makes that course so much better
goodness these kids are so soft.. its like they want to take all the randomness out of sports to make it "fair".. go play chess!
This worlds was the first time I find myself on bored with removing FPO. I'd rather watch MA1 before MPO in every tournament.
ads end all the way at 4:48
The FPO played so poorly, a mediocre dude almost won.
Just happy Nat Ryan didn't get podium. They should make restictions that fpo is only for biological women. Since the "MPO" is an open divison for men, women, anything
