- We have a fun new video where we drove up to Maple Hill to meet Simon Lizotte! We filmed a full 18 hole round at Maple Hill Golds, simulation a tournament round. Simon throws one shot and goes into detail what he is thinking, what he is throwing, and his general philosophy around the sport. With him mic'd up, you get a side of Simon you do not see everyday.

Thanks for coming out guys! So much fun and hopefully we can do that again somewhere on tour!
It’s so kind that Paul McBeth texted you, what a nice guy.
Love the camera going even while walking between holes. It was like we were there playing a round with you, Simon. So helpful to hear your thought process.
This was great Simon! You are so likable. I almost felt like i was playing a round with you and chatting. Great video, i hope to see more of these.
I love the live commentary from you. Would've been nice to have Casey on this one.
Simon, you are indubitably the most fun player on the tour. And you're funny as hell! Keep it going brother, you're going to dominate!!
Slow is smooth; Smooth is far! You know it! Great video, much love Simon.
Simon is so genuine. What a joy and enlightenment it is to listen to him talk through everything.
I feel like we are friends yet I've never met him. This has been a great year for disc golf footage.
Simon we love that you play for the fans, why do you think you have the most popular youtube channel even when you got into the vlog game late. You have the most charisma on the entire professional circuit! Whenever I see you on a disc golf card I simply have to watch it.
"I can't say 'ain't,' that's not right English." I love Simon so much.
"hope dies last" - great quote
It's a direct translation of a German idiom in case you didn't knew it
Im actually so glad i got to see simon throw like a human and miss lines and hit trees. Great video!!!!!
I echo Ben Salemi's sentiments...you are a joy to watch - your candor and explanation of the internal process you go through are both relatable and enlightening!
Wow, that was really fun to watch. I loved the format of having a single player play the course while walking us through their shots. Keep up the fantastic work!
We have plenty more of these types of videos lined up! Thanks for the support.
This makes up for the time you sprinted this course. :) now we can actually see it! Great work! Definitely my bucket list destination course.
Wonderful format, love the internal monologue. That 60' death putt on 14 he was so pissed about :) Never in a million years would I run that 😂
32:32 - Now THAT'S Maple Hill Gold.
"sometimes the throw is so bad, its actually good"
Hypers!
Bro I love you. Please do some cardio.
"Slow is smooth and smooth is far" Danny Lindahl. Is you aren't watching his lessons you're missing out.
Simon would run the tour if he played for position. I prefer "Simon" lines.
I can't say "ain't", that's not right english
Never change, Simon
“If you don’t have a nice home course...it’s time to move, guys”

"That's Paul Mcbeth, let's see what he says: 'I wish I would be like you', wow!" hahahahhahaha
Mic'd up is such a cool format. Thanks Gatekeeper!
Yeah, they should do a series called "Mic'd up: pro name" - would be awesome :)
Lol... That is probably Paul McBeth. Is it Paul McBeth - I wish I was like you.
Me: Man it seems like Simon has been walking to his shot for so long
Also me: Oh right he threw it a mile
Everybody when there's 200 people watching: "I'm just gonna pretend that no one is watching."
Simon when no one is watching: "I'm just gonna pretend theres like 200 people watching."
He's such an asset to the sport. Lovely personality
"I have to show off if there is even 5 people watching"
Thousands of people watching this :O
Great job Gatekeeper.
Love how Simon lives and breathes the sport.
Was awesome to hear his thoughts on each hole, this was a fantastic job done by all parties.
"I'm starting to realize that, and I might change that soon" - Simon Lizotte
I didn't want this video to end...simon, more videos with you talking during the round on why you are doing things!!! great stuff
With casey
His stream of consciousness around 9:00 is really important and I'd love to see him take more trophies! Manage the course on the way to winning tournaments, save some (not all) of the jaw droppers for the vlog!
"Slow is smooth, smooth is far" -Awesome Danny Lindahl
Love how he says gatekeeper makes me smile every time lol
I'd give it 3 years before Steve is walking around the course in his boxers in a bathrobe tripping on mushrooms
Please don't change! I love your showmanship!
I've learned more by listening to you describe how you wotj through the shot and preparation thanks a ton keep killing out there
I saw my car in the parking lot
"I wish I was like you" - Mcbeth 2020
I love watching Simon throw his crazy lines. But I would love to see him not think about us and just play too win. I think he has the greatness to stand up to Paul and Ricky any day of the week. Go for it!!!
We definitely love seeing you go for it and throwing shots others can not but we also are pulling for you and want you to win. So if you think you can win forget about us and play safer.
Great concept for the video - total different insight into the players mind, can totally see this as a series -: Simon is awesome
Enjoyed this backstage pass at Maple Hill!
"Sometimes you throw it so bad, it's actually good." "I'm not in the best position but I'm going for it. Of course I'm going for it!"
Great video. Gatekeeper media, is one of the first I subscribed to, when I started enjoying the sport. Whomever conceived of this video and those who made it happen, I say thank you. hope for videos in this format, would like to hear other professionals thought process. 👍👍😃
Happy Birthday to me. These two videos were awesome.
Just Amazing content! Thank you!
Hey Simon, hole 11 where u said u should maybe start playing for postion more often. You would win a lot of tournaments. You should play one tournament where u play more postion golf and see how u play, i bet u win
“Maybe I should throw it shorter and play more for position”
NO. WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE SIMON WE KNOW. WE WANT SKY HIGH GRENADES, “SIMON LINES”, AND THE LONG BOMBS. 😂
But seriously though good call, your game is really maturing. Wise man. You rock!!
Watching this now in 2022 after Simon won four tournaments just shows that what he says on hole 11 is so incredibly true.
'audibly grunts' "look how I far I threw I wasn't even trying"
-Simon Lizotte
"...and then you do exactly what you don't want to do. It's so frustrating."
AMEN
69 career wins nice .....
No. 1 rule in disc golf. Always talk to the disc.
I swear by this too. It really listens.
"That's probably Paul Mc B. -I wish I was like you" Hahaha! Simon! You made my day!
Like Danny always says: “smooth is far, a-n-d........ slow is smooth” 🧐😬🤭😂🤣😂🤣 Love it!!
Hole 17: "Where is my disaster of a drive?"
...proceeds to pull out a putter for his upshot on a 650' hole. Lol Simon is awesome.
Ice camera work hauling that equipment around. Mic worked great too.
I got iron hill as my home course lol
When Simon ran to the basket on 14 he said 🦖🦖🦖🦖
Who gave this a thumbs down??? Do they realize that two negatives don't make a positive in TH-cam land?
Yeah, Simon, exactly that: reign in the ego a bit, be the showman when it's a good play, and remember there's nothing more fun on a course than winning the tournament. Like you said on the front 9: be like Sexton.
"Like, sometimes a 30-footer ... and I feel like my eyes zoom in, and it would feel like a 15-footer."
That would leave you with a seriously short putt attempt :D
Hahah know the feeling! I just moved next to the Beast in Nokia.. doing 10pm rounds alone, ahh!
Lucky man :)
Glad to hear Simon "babies" shots too. I do it ALL THE TIME! lol
You should make a trip to the mountains of North Carolina and play Black Jacks and Ashe Park.
Been in Mass a while now huh? “Im proud to be here with Gatekeepah Media” 🤣🤣
At 8:40 (is this what happened this weekend at the Preserve Championship or did he take his own advise?) he did do awesome, I felt bad that he wasn’t able to win it! (could he have won it on the last hole?)
You talked about driving and your car but never said what you drive! Stick shift??
The man!!
@ Simon Life gives you LEMONS!!! So you make lemonade! :P
What happened to Simon’s elbow?
He probably tweaked it from overuse.
Simon: "I think I might start playing for position more"
Paul: "Shit"
I don’t know about you guys, but I didn’t have any concerns that Simon would throw it short into the water on hole 14 lol
I have buhl park in hermitage Pennsylvania our longest basket is 1100 feet one of the longest in pa
As a film guy myself i feel really bad for that camerman lol. That steadicam is not easy to carry for that long
When he said the part about having a nice home course. I felt that, wish my home course was nice.
Gatekeeper Media . Great amazing Job !! Simon as always a great video !! Hope to see more Gatekeeper videos
Great quality production and content - just subscribed!
You're the Phil Mickelson of disc golf and Paul is Tiger Woods.
How could anyone watch this and NOT crack a smile?
When your in the zone its like a trip... hmm tell me more deets about this comparison Simon.
Nice video, very insightful mental aspect
Best/most useful disc golf content yet. Can always count on Simon!
Love the pretend Paul McBeth text message/hype! lololol
Seems like a good therapy session going on...nice work ;)
TIL Christmas trees are pine. Haha love Simon
Ain't is proper English once you get west of Boston.
Even Paul wants to be like Simon
Jeez that sound of the first throw. Giveitsomeheat
That’s my friend Brendon’s sidewinder!
Good advice...”turn off your brain” Over thinking is my biggest problem on the course...that, and trees 🌲
Why are trees?
LOL
My home course is Idlewild lol
It really shows how much you like this course😁
Simon, "number 1 lesson" Lizotte
What you mean to say is 'It ain't right english.'
What's the car that exhilarates you simon
Just subscribed you guys are the best
"I have a lot of no. 1 lessons"...that's so Simon.
Thank you for putting this together! It was great to watch Simon and to get his thought process during play. Awesome content! 👍
Thank you!
What car do you drive Simon?
What are the characteristics of a "flippy" disc?
I’m not quite sure what you mean by characteristics. “Flippy” means understable.
@@willhowarddg Thanks, that answers the question. :)
Ok! Glad to help.
