I know McBeth had talked about doing some sort of higher end, small private tournament with some pros on some vlog with Brodie. It would seem a bit gaudy, but wouldn't it be sick to see a player host some private skins match or otherwise event that had a larger 1st prize than any pro tour event? Like a $100k charity skins or something? Live stream the event, take live donations for some good cause like St Jude's or whatever, and pay out some ridiculous mid 5 figure prize to the winner and raise an entire pro tour event purse just for charity.
when you think about though, it really is dumb. you can just go to the disc shop and find a disc that does exactly what that disc does and it will only cost you 20 bucks. there are so many different discs out on the market right now that there is a few different molds that are identical to nates firebirds.

These baskets are finicky. You better be center pole, and on the bottom half of the catch section. You could say they are bad or you could say you need to be soft and accurate.
@@poysunivey I'm all for smaller baskets but the problem is these have a major luck factor built in. Sometimes they stick, sometimes they cut right through. We need skill winning, not luck.
I want Simon back at 100% sooo bad. He doesn’t need a 350ft forehand but a routine 300ft forehand that he wouldn’t have to worry about along with full backhand power drive would be great
@@seanbinder8316 I would like at least one of calvin, nate, and conrad on every single skins. They are all different personalities but are all positive energy guys.
i dont see any problem with the baskets. spit outs and cut throughs happen on every single basket design. at least with these baskets you know that your putt just needs to be a better, more centered, all around putt. consequently, you have to focus more. Eagle's putt wasn't centered, it was left. Barsby's bounce out of those innova/discmania/whatevertheywere discgolfpark baskets in the euro open 2017 much worse, and much more consequential.
@@unwrinkledear agreed. These baskets are not “catch all speeds”. They require an accurate putt at speed. We have them on a local course here. Once you learn how to putt on them, they’re fine. Just like a Mach 3.
@@unwrinkledear Well Eagle and Simon had only one complaint about the course and it was the baskets, so just maybe there would be a better alternative? They do this for a living after all
Honestly, if Sexton were 26 in the game right now, he’d have the ability because of who he is to adapt to the way the courses are playing now. When he was 26, he adapted the way he needed to then to bring his star to its shine and continued success-because Nate Sexton is a great player but also a great person, regardless of the era. So I hope he’ll keep finding the vitality in himself and keep it flowing for years to come, so that he can surf these courses strong for as long as his heart pleases!
With some course layouts Nate will thrive, but for the courses that are laid out for the 600-700 bombers he will unfortunately lose some strokes to those guys.
Also more distance isnt always the answer. Look at Niklas Anttila. Hes the Finnish champion and he throws about a bit over 400ft. Hes just deadly consistent and accurate. And theres some long bombers that can throw 600-700ft here like Seppo Paju, Oskari Vikström, Kristian Kuoksa.
1. You can see how much Simon wanted to beat Eagle throughout this. He was so competitive. 2. Nate was clearly the dad of the group. He honestly stood no chance against these young guns.
@@yrrahyrrah When this was filmed, Nate was 36, Simon was just about to turn 29, Eagle was 23 and James was 31. James and Nate share the same birthday (May 4) but are 5 years apart.
I know he's the world champ and his game works just fine but he really should modify his runup on stuff like that. most pros go to a two-step walk up or even a standstill on fairway shots like that so that their footwork is much less of a variable. the speed at which James' foot plants/his heel turns on an approach with ground that isn't as stable or grippy as a teepad is gonna cause slips like that to keep happening. you'll rarely see it with someone like Eagle, who has such a controlled approach walk-up and usually just goes to the two step.
@@MK212074 The extra speed you get from that pays. When you are like 5 seconds in the air with a 3 mile difference in running speed, your disc goes 22 feet further. Add that over 2 throws on a par 4 and you could be 44 feet further just because you give it more speed to begin with. And.. 5 seconds air time is really conservative over those long distances. Agreed that when you need accuracy, a slower speed would/could be better.
I feel bad for Simon. It’s rough when your body starts inhibiting the ability you have come to know for years. don’t let your kids play football for 10 years
I think he was in pain more than anything actually. But yeah they are super competitive people, we've seen Eagle be the same way, smashing discs into the ground or slamming his fists together, it's just passion.
I had the privilege of playing the course in late May . Having played every course in Missouri, it IS the #1 course in the state, and as Eagle said, maybe the World. Epic job, Phillip and Davey Mac! The other course that comes very close is Hillcrest on Prince Edward Island. Absolutely mind-bending to see so many birdies from the Blue. Like watching Eddie Hall deadlift 1,100 pounds; you realize you'll never do it. Terrific video production too, will watch again soon. It's the Pebble Beach for DG.
I met and first played with Nate in 2004-2005. Even back then his forehand was insane but indeed, it has made so much improvement along with disc golf technology since about 2014-2015.
Everybody was fine, Simon was just ribbing Eagle a bit and hamming for the camera, which is fine because Eagle is gonna be a superstar and will bank accordingly. Skins is where you can and should rib your opponents and honestly these guys were very subdued compared to a lot of other skins I've watched.
@@keithselden2096 I noticed that too. Simon seemed to be a little bit snide at times and not in the razzing way.. I think his elbow was starting to hurt from so many distance throws from this course.
Yeah, and his attitude was kinda crappy. I love the guy, but you could tell he was pretty salty about all the $$$ Eagle was winning. I'm willing to chalk it up to the pain in his elbow.
I think Nate isn't giving himself enough credit - he just took 3rd place at Worlds. Yeah everyone wants bigger arms, but he can win with his skill set.
Come to St Louis. This course is only an hour and 10 minutes west of the airport. Had the pleasure of playing one of the inaugural rounds 2 months ago and it's truly something special.
3rd place at World's, USDGC champ, 1030+ rated Sexton saying he couldn't make it. He even won the bomber Las Vegas course last year. I'd rather have the accuracy to stay out of bounds rather than bombing it all the time.
Damn, that slo-mo zoom on the 'Don't Choke' sign right before Nate's upshot on 18 is priceless. This has just the right amount of tension and excitement to go down as the best skins match ever on video.
What an amazing course. It was also awesome to hear everyone talk each other up the whole time. I feel that disc golf is pretty unique with the respect everyone shows each other despite being opponents.
This is the best piece of disc golf content I’ve ever consumed. The building tension with each push down the stretch. That putt by Simon on 16. James stepping up to 17 and nearly topping the holy shot. Everything riding on 18. Seriously captivating.
This one was a great change of pace. There's nothing wrong with the traditional trash talk and antics - love it, but this one was such a supportive group. It felt like they were all just battling the course together instead of each other. Thanks everyone for putting this together.
Great coverage, GK Pro! Luke Humphries, you are a terrific host! Dapper, behatted, mustachioed, and clever. You rock! The course? Gorgeous. Papa Nate, a great forehandsman, world class, no doubt. Eagle's forehand is far longer. That kid can throw. J.C. 2021 World Champ. He's great. And nice. Simon, the Human Highlight Reel.
This is like the perfect card. You have so many good personalities and you have arguably the two best backhands and the two best forehands in disc golf.
Beautiful course, dream card, and everyone in it until 18 all made for some great content. Eagle putting everyone on the bus for some back to schooling! Poor Nate lol
It's definitely a cool course, I personally would rather not have to watch so much OB everywhere. Plant some more trees and take out the OB where it's not really needed. I think courses should have as little fake OB as possible. Lakes and rivers, property lines, sure. I guess I like it natural.
I understand Simon being competitive and not having a good day, but his attitude was so bad here. He seemed actually upset that Eagle was doing so well, especially at the end when Luke was saying how much Eagle had won. On the flip side, James and Nate (who both won less than Simon btw) both congratulated Eagle and seemed genuinely happy for him. I do feel for Simon since he seemed to injure his elbow again, but if he wants to win consistently at the top level I think he really needs to work on his mental game.
Wow this video showcases how good Nates Fh really is: incredible! Great shots from everybody but some of these shots he’s making are just next level! Also amazing course! And Eagle bimbs
One of my favorite parts of this Skins match was when they guys on 14 stopped to look at a little skink. Shows these guys are just kids still playing in the woods! Love it
This is so cool. One of the best things about disc golf is how everybody cheers for every one else's shots! Always! Love mic'd up rounds. Love the support from my bros! Love the big highs and sorry lows when we all RULE and suck! Because, let's face it, we all rule, and suck.
More like disappointed in him self, because he thre everything very good and made amazing puts, but had bad luck with a few trees. And Simon led in total money all the way to the last whole when he threw it right in a tree, could easily have birdied that and pushed it again, so no, he didn’t get outplayed, just bad luck.
@@1isone eagle got a nasty spit through on a 1800 dollar(or something like that) putt and shanking your shot in a tree right in front of you isn't bad luck.
If in 3 years we're all buying special shoes for disc golf, look back to this and SEVERAL other recent moments where James Conrad has slipped. I see a pair of Conrad's Traction Pros coming in the future LOL
That was so fun, thank GKPRO, OTB and Luke for the great commentary, and to Nate, James, Simon, and Eagle for showing us the way on that amazing course:) you guys rocked it before heading to ledge Stone thank you….!
Ok, I saw a few people here commenting about the baskets, and I partially agree. They're not the most "catchy" baskets. .... The chains canopy is kind of narrow, and the chains are spaced a little farther apart than on some other baskets (allowing for occasional blow-throughs). I Play on this type of basket (Gateway Titan Pro 24) semi-frequently. They are not my favorite, but OK. ....not the best basket out there. But there's another way of looking at this… these "harder to stick" baskets could be considered as just another feature of this course; designed to add to the overall challenge of it. Just like the embankments, water, big terraced greens, and tight OB stakes in places.... all these are features of this particular course as well. And these baskets are just another feature that adds overall challenge to a great course. I can't wait to try it. :)
Eagle: "I have a heart attack every time I putt on these baskets." I know they are Gateway baskets because the course designer owns Gateway, but they are nowhere near up to par for this course. Phil, give Dave enough money to copy Discatchers and call them Gateway 2.0s.
Such great disc golf. I love those par 5's, so beautiful. Tight woods but not so tight that you cant find lines to get through the trees, as long as you execute. Plus its all on grass
I had to come back and rewatch this match just to see the course again. If Eagle Crossing and Diavalo in Cary, NC don't have top tier tournaments in the next few years it will be a shame.
I’m glad GK kept Simon’s constant whining in. It’s the second one recently where both Eagle and Simon are playing and Simon gets so salty. I feel bad for Luke!
Wasn't he just on Jomez last month talking about his doctor telling him he can't compete every week? And here he is, same week as Ledgestone, trying to keep up with guys like Eagle and JC
Sick course. Sick skins match. The only thing that needs to change is the baskets. So many spitouts/spit throughs in just 18 holes. Get some Discatchers or Mach Xs out there asap.
Eagle crossing into victory! Nice! It breaks my heart to see Simon so down in spirits. Some of his comments were pretty negative surprisingly, but the heat of competition and pain in the elbow could do that.
Awesome video! One of the best skins yet! Having ever hole be for big money applied extra pressure and that was great to see. Wish we could have seen the push to the grow off from the Conrad spot tho!

That route is not for mere mortals, says the Sky God

when you see james almost acing multiple holes, it gives so much more credence to his holy shot
Dude is money with those long putter shots. It’s unreal.
James has a lengthy list of long buckets. He has great angle and speed control. He's legit to be sure. Baskets are afraid of him I hear.
Maybe has the best backhand accuracy of all time
James is known for his aces, and maybe even more his ace run spitouts. :D
The fact that they all did so good for never playing it, just shows you why they're the pros. I can't wait to see the future of this course.
And yet they all also went OB multiple times. I think a score of -6 at this place is about the best avg score. The OB here is brutal
James looks like such a humble person
I love how everyone talked about Nate ace running with a $4000 disc. Meanwhile, James throws the holy disc valued at easily $50K!

I think he was upset about his elbow hurting and projected it onto Eagle. They are best buds
James Conrad: slips for the 487th time
...
General Viewers: **waits for shoe sponsorship ad**
Damn, that slo-mo zoom on the 'Don't Choke' sign right before Nate's upshot on 18 is priceless.
This has just the right amount of tension and excitement to go down as the best skins match ever on video.
What an amazing course. It was also awesome to hear everyone talk each other up the whole time. I feel that disc golf is pretty unique with the respect everyone shows each other despite being opponents.
That zoom at 50:26 is incredible btw
This is the best piece of disc golf content I’ve ever consumed. The building tension with each push down the stretch. That putt by Simon on 16. James stepping up to 17 and nearly topping the holy shot. Everything riding on 18. Seriously captivating.
And even though I was pulling for Nate, Eagle deserved it in the end.
This one was a great change of pace. There's nothing wrong with the traditional trash talk and antics - love it, but this one was such a supportive group. It felt like they were all just battling the course together instead of each other.
Thanks everyone for putting this together.
To think, Eagle would have been a grand richer if he didn’t have that nasty spit out on the pyramid green.
Nate had two putts for eagle, and it sounded like each eagle was worth 1k.
Great coverage, GK Pro! Luke Humphries, you are a terrific host! Dapper, behatted, mustachioed, and clever. You rock!
The course? Gorgeous.
Papa Nate, a great forehandsman, world class, no doubt. Eagle's forehand is far longer. That kid can throw. J.C. 2021 World Champ. He's great. And nice. Simon, the Human Highlight Reel.
Thanks for doing this as usual all the sponsors, Luke, GK Pro crew, the players, course designers, fans, everyone!
Thanks for another great watch guys. Enjoy your skins shows very much!✌🏼
Quite the amazing looking course!
This is like the perfect card. You have so many good personalities and you have arguably the two best backhands and the two best forehands in disc golf.
Beautiful course, dream card, and everyone in it until 18 all made for some great content. Eagle putting everyone on the bus for some back to schooling! Poor Nate lol
Simon needs to give his elbow a break. You can tell he hurt it on 16 and then more on 18. He was in visible pain during the final clip
This. I felt really bad watching this. I think it started stemming from the long drive hole.
Sure hope he didn't break it too bad. He is playing the European Championships right now after all
Love how fired up Simon is!! He brought the business Lizotte today!
"627 feet drive, holy!" Smashes it 10 feet to closest tree, sorry eagle, i love you but that was funny :D
I think the final result soothed some of his pain, haha.
51:42 Simon wincing, like he's got gambling debts.
100% satisfaction guarantee on those Titan Pro baskets from Gateway. Gateway has some explaining to do
It's definitely a cool course, I personally would rather not have to watch so much OB everywhere. Plant some more trees and take out the OB where it's not really needed. I think courses should have as little fake OB as possible. Lakes and rivers, property lines, sure. I guess I like it natural.
Eagle's crossing looks amazing great job to everyone involved.
Having already played it, it is amazing
....and its not even finished
Added to my UDisc wishlist :D
Nate with the absolute best skins performance for someone getting skunked. Those throws on the Par 5s were straight 🔥🔥🔥
I understand Simon being competitive and not having a good day, but his attitude was so bad here. He seemed actually upset that Eagle was doing so well, especially at the end when Luke was saying how much Eagle had won. On the flip side, James and Nate (who both won less than Simon btw) both congratulated Eagle and seemed genuinely happy for him. I do feel for Simon since he seemed to injure his elbow again, but if he wants to win consistently at the top level I think he really needs to work on his mental game.
It’s basically when your little brother starts beating you, or when your a dad and your son is of age to finally beat ya up. Not fun
I think you need to work on your mental game if that's what you pulled from this.
Wow this video showcases how good Nates
Fh really is: incredible! Great shots from everybody but some of these shots he’s making are just next level! Also amazing course! And Eagle bimbs
This is the future of disc golf. People putting in actual money to design and make a course like this. And its not even close to done!!! Wow….
Disagree. Nobody in their right mind puts this much money in disc golf with such little return on investment.
It's hilarious how deflated Simon looks. Just be happy for your bro.
One of my favorite parts of this Skins match was when they guys on 14 stopped to look at a little skink. Shows these guys are just kids still playing in the woods! Love it
This is so cool. One of the best things about disc golf is how everybody cheers for every one else's shots! Always! Love mic'd up rounds. Love the support from my bros! Love the big highs and sorry lows when we all RULE and suck! Because, let's face it, we all rule, and suck.
haha Simon so salty about getting outplayed by Eagle all day
More like disappointed in him self, because he thre everything very good and made amazing puts, but had bad luck with a few trees. And Simon led in total money all the way to the last whole when he threw it right in a tree, could easily have birdied that and pushed it again, so no, he didn’t get outplayed, just bad luck.
@@1isone eagle got a nasty spit through on a 1800 dollar(or something like that) putt and shanking your shot in a tree right in front of you isn't bad luck.
That Simon Salt though 😂
If in 3 years we're all buying special shoes for disc golf, look back to this and SEVERAL other recent moments where James Conrad has slipped. I see a pair of Conrad's Traction Pros coming in the future LOL
Vivo barefoot. 👌
That was so fun, thank GKPRO, OTB and Luke for the great commentary, and to Nate, James, Simon, and Eagle for showing us the way on that amazing course:) you guys rocked it before heading to ledge Stone thank you….!
Ok, I saw a few people here commenting about the baskets, and I partially agree. They're not the most "catchy" baskets. .... The chains canopy is kind of narrow, and the chains are spaced a little farther apart than on some other baskets (allowing for occasional blow-throughs). I Play on this type of basket (Gateway Titan Pro 24) semi-frequently. They are not my favorite, but OK. ....not the best basket out there.
But there's another way of looking at this… these "harder to stick" baskets could be considered as just another feature of this course; designed to add to the overall challenge of it. Just like the embankments, water, big terraced greens, and tight OB stakes in places.... all these are features of this particular course as well. And these baskets are just another feature that adds overall challenge to a great course. I can't wait to try it. :)
Not liking to see Simon having possible elbow issues again, but other than that a great skins match from everybody. This was epic!
I also noticed that on the last hole. Bummed me out
Eagle: "I have a heart attack every time I putt on these baskets."
I know they are Gateway baskets because the course designer owns Gateway, but they are nowhere near up to par for this course. Phil, give Dave enough money to copy Discatchers and call them Gateway 2.0s.
I was wondering what they were. Don't think I've ever seen them before
nice with harder baskets
This place is the future of disc golf and is just insane to see.. When I started playing in 2001 I never imagined seeing it get to this level.
Such great disc golf. I love those par 5's, so beautiful. Tight woods but not so tight that you cant find lines to get through the trees, as long as you execute. Plus its all on grass
I love the veteran. Giving eagle the ear shot commentary. Lmao . classic.
I had to come back and rewatch this match just to see the course again. If Eagle Crossing and Diavalo in Cary, NC don't have top tier tournaments in the next few years it will be a shame.
Wish I could give this more than one like. Thanks, guys. Great job!
Wow! Best skins match ever. Knew it was gonna be good but geez y’all. Serious bombs and serious cash. Good stuff OTB/GK! Keep em comin!
I’m glad GK kept Simon’s constant whining in. It’s the second one recently where both Eagle and Simon are playing and Simon gets so salty. I feel bad for Luke!
Great coverage, love it when they are all mic'd up and smack talking but also very encouraging of each other!! Keep em comping, loves the rounds
Simon hurt his arm on 16s drive. Needs to calm down on that.
Wasn't he just on Jomez last month talking about his doctor telling him he can't compete every week? And here he is, same week as Ledgestone, trying to keep up with guys like Eagle and JC
Good grief Nate! What a choke job on the last hole!!
Sick course. Sick skins match. The only thing that needs to change is the baskets. So many spitouts/spit throughs in just 18 holes. Get some Discatchers or Mach Xs out there asap.
I love how salty Simon is haha, great content!
I love the 252ft playoff idea and feel it’s a great way to immortalize the shot within the sport. Everyone should start doing this.
Seriously....this course is gonna be epic! Best skins match so far. Damn shame sexton caught fire at end. His forehand was dialed in.....
Eagle crossing into victory! Nice! It breaks my heart to see Simon so down in spirits. Some of his comments were pretty negative surprisingly, but the heat of competition and pain in the elbow could do that.
Simon had some amazing shots here, eagle too with that 650ft+ drive.
Holy purse on this one, jeeez!!!! Well done, and fantastic OTB round, so fun.
Awesome video! One of the best skins yet! Having ever hole be for big money applied extra pressure and that was great to see. Wish we could have seen the push to the grow off from the Conrad spot tho!
