    Ohn should be the ideal attitude for golf for the FPO. She’s always celebrating players that beat her and I love her for that. It isn’t about winning to her and that’s part of why she’s so good at it. So much energy.

    I live in the area AND had the days off. My reason for not attending was money. What is a major reason for disc golf becoming my favorite sport?Fellowship and Money. Play for free. Go to the big tournaments when they are near and watch the pros, for free. Charging that much is going to destroy attendance. The sport is being squeezed for money when it used to be all about the thrill of the game.

      Same here. I live ten minutes from Northwood and was drooling to see a pro event until I learned of the ticket prices. Twenty or thirty bucks isn’t really a lot these days but with threatening weather and a heavily wooded course would I get my money’s worth? It’s not like I’m seeing Augusta National or Fenway Park. I can walk around Northwood Park any day. I also see the other side of the story; the prize money should be higher so where does it come from?

      @@MJVelpel 20-30 dollars is a lot of money considering chicken costs as much as it does, and for it to be really worth it getting a hotel and staying for at least the last two days you're in it for 200 bucks off the rip. @MJVelpel I feel like entry fee should be like cheap cheap $5 bucks or something (like I don't even get to freaking play for crying out loud). They would make money on concessions and disc/merch sales I'm sure. Sell a little commemorative mini for 10 bucks and they're making money for sure (or at least offsetting the tourney costs assuming a few hundred ppl show up). A lot more than I'm sure vendors made this week at least. Do find it kind of worrying given that its dead center of 3 major population centers (2ish hours between Morton and Indy, Chicago, St Louis) and even with the weather that was the turnout? (dg fans are psychos that play in blizzards a lil rain shouldnt be an issue). I aint paying 30 dollars to stand in a field and watch other people play I guess. Plus I'd rather watch post round coverage with a few beers at home.

      Yes, exactly and is $30 per day not $30 for whole tournament or even $X for overall and $30 per day where buying $X is a better deal. Yes, I know Course had to have limits on people watching but yeah what is going on is asking for more and more over the years.

    I was there! First time attending in person and it did shock me how few fans were there, especially at the 1st tee. I showed up at 9:00 to catch the FPO lead card and had a shuttle from the parking lot all to myself. It was muddy mess out there, but I don’t think that was the cause of the low attendance. One item I noted from the coverage is that no one showed Ricky being absolutely robbed on hole 11. His disc went straight through the heart of the chains. The look on his face was complete disbelief. With him still in the hunt at that point, seems odd no one showed it. Luckily I do have a nice video of it.

WHERE IS THE INPUT BY PLAYERS TO HELP AGREE ON THE BASKETS, AND THE DESIGN/ SAFETY OF THE TEE PADS. THERE SHOULD BE CONSISTENCY IN THE BASKETS USED, AND THE BASKETS SHOULD NOT HAVE INHERENT FLAWS, SUCH AS THE ONE POINTED OUT BY DREW. I HOPE THE POWERS THAT BE SET A STANDARD FOR THE TEE PADS, AT LEAST WHERE SAFETY IS THE PRIME FOCUS... THOSE ELEVATED PADS ARE AN ACCIDENT JUST WAITING TO RUIN SOMEONE'S LIFE ...

    Price startes at 30 dollars a day to be able to go to like half the holes to watch.
    We also had a local c tier that was scheduled last year, and we did 1 round each morning. But this is also the reason no one went.
    And tbh, there is some animosity between the local peoria players and Ledgestone. Ledstone took over Illinois Ams Championship anf price went from around like 100 up to almost 200 for the same bag all of us got at ledgestone.
    Also many players and fans were volunteers for the event.
    If thia would have been at eureka temp, many more people would have came, bc its usually free and there isnt a huge limit on people attending like at Northwood.

    Disc golfers hate their own sport more than anyone in any other sport, lol
    It's extremely wild to me how few tournaments are in the northeast. Especially here in PA with some crazy unique, majestic courses. The tri-state area of NY, PA, NJ has crazy population density and an epic amount of fans on top of the amazing, tough courses. Gotta aim for population density for fans to come out. And sure, udisc or whatever might say that there are more "serious" fans or whatever in rural areas, because they use apps/udisc, but when you have crazy population density near urban areas, and so many players, its just that a ton of people dont use apps like udisc and stuff. Theres way more to do here, so even though we're huge fans, for a lot of people its more casual and not their entire life.

    Brody, Drew and others like them have good points but they need to take a step back and do the math. They think the sport is on the level with the PGA but it still has a long way to go. Everything takes time and money... money being the most important aspect. To properly update all the courses used with new very large sized all weather tee pads is an expensive undertaking. Do they want the DGN / DGPT to pay for them... I'd be willing to bet they're losing money every year at this point. Their model probably projects out 10 to 20 years before they'll make money or sell the company at a profit. Keep making good points but realize... there is a lot involved before a full consensus on tee pad sizes, cost, how they fit on the courses themselves.

    I keep commenting on the basket situation and will do so until there is action. There should be ONE standard basket and be mounted exactly the same height from the ground (or whatever surface). The chains should be the exact same gauge and with the same finish (chrome plated or galvanized). The vertical support members of the basket should be butt welded to the upper ring, not wrapped around forming a nub. Ball golf has standard targets to aim for. Imagine if the cup varied from hole to hole and course to course. The millionaire golfers would revolt. Same goes for the baskets.

    lots of money for less access and interaction with the pros than we used to have. I’d pay money for more things like champs vs chumps, play with a pro, etc. It was fun a few years ago being able to follow cards around jones park in Emporia, but the country club (now named Champion’s Landing) is so roped off, it just lost the special feeling. Sorry DGPT, but I have other things Id rather spend that money on. A couple discs will bring me many more hours of enjoyment. I live in Emporia, but I’m not sure if I’m going to go out to watch or not. I’d rather just play a casual round of my own.

    Nate saying the 12th makes the best players rise to the top...😂. Think Gannon played that hole +5 all weekend, hole sucks. The drive is what is terrible there, it shouldn't be that shitty turnover to a landing zone. Needs too be more open so they can bite off more and try to get up on top of the hill in two. Probably less than 3 birdies on that hole all four days. They had a stat that hole 12 had been played almost 900 times before that tournament and had only TWELVE birdies since it started on tour, only 9 people have birdied it, 3 people twice, holes meh🎉.

    Bad weather, bad course for viewer experience, very little room for crowds, poor pricing considering those factors. Yeah I can see how there was low attendance. I don't even like watching coverage of courses like northwood, half of the holes you might get a good look at what the pros are seeing/doing. If they get off the fairways, you're basically guessing. There's a reason why despite the moaning of the oldheads, disc golf is going more towards open courses with designed OB's/hazards and less trees. Plinko golf also isn't fun to watch/play when lead cards are decided by who's getting lucky or not more often than normal. Having a super punishing course is cool and all, and I'm all for "keeping numbers low" for the people who hate seeing double digit score cards, but I'd rather it not be at the expense of us, the paying and watching customer.

    So many bad takes in this vid. Drew is delusional. He needs to get his game together before he can improve the Pro Tour. The weather was awful across 2/3rds of North America this weekend. Unless the tourney was in California or Arizona it was going to be windy cold and rainy.
    Lastly, I choose course over spectators. You just can't have a ton of spectators at Northwoods. That's why they do the final round of Ledgestone at Lake Eureka. Northwoods is sick and deserves respect. Unless they put people in zeppelins to float over the course watching through binoculars you won't be able to have non-VIP spectators watching.

  • @bestbladerevah
    @bestbladerevah หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    it's so easy to say "Standardize the basket!" but don't understand what comes with that like patent law and since they play at a bunch of places that have established pins, who's gonna pay to switch those out for all the stops or do they only use them for places that use movable pins? do only pros play with standard tees? who owns the patent for the standardized pin? who's design do you choose? who and how do they decide the design of the pin? one style of pin works best for spin putters while others work best for laser putts. Some stops are known and difficult for their "tough" pins, are the old heads willing to step down and drop tradition and history for the sport for it to grow?

    I’m a little more progressive in my view. I believe that to progress the sport and increase the talent, the tray must shrink.
    I’m not alone in this idea. Paul McBeth points this out about the baskets as well. They were designed to catch ultimate frisbees.
    Just ponder that for a moment.

    Pro tour needs new management. Schedule the first half of the season on the West Coast where weather is not a problem. I have no interest in watching low quality conditions and play and a bad quality live broadcast. Serious problems with their strategy, I have cancelled my live stream subscription and it's not a cost problem.

    As far as crowds go...it was the weather partially. The other was the difficulty of the course. Great shots were hard to come by.

    A lot of the great shots were pure luck honestly.

    @triple_five_soul6439 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Nothing about Northwood Black or this year's Champions Cup was fun to watch. It is in NO way a substitute for WR Jackson and to say so is the biggest insult. They could've drove to Charlotte and had a buffet of choices of courses that closer resemble Jackson but we know it's all about what Heinold wants obviously. I'm just saying, after the past 2 weeks, there is a depressing vibe coming from the Pro Tour, mostly due to this past weekend but all the "power grabs" the pdga has done this year has dramatically drained the vibe of what was once on a parabolic rise to now being a resemblance of the crypto market, it's having major bowel movements and it stinks. Btw, I think hole 12 is an awesome hole and would definitely make a dream 18, it's hole 14 that is dogshit but really only because the 1000 trees near the basket, and that's the theme that really has me Disliking this course for any more than 2 rounds a tournament, take out the luck factor due to blind center fairway trees, clean it up and make it legit.

  • @bassinassasin90
    @bassinassasin90 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Man, a lot of crying from this tournament. I thought it was great, as a spectator, fan, and disc golfer (Northwood Black is in my backyard), I enjoyed watching the pros be challenged at the highest level and experience Illinois spring weather. Northwood is much different in the spring than the summer. People forget that Nate is a pro disc golfer too and competes. He does more good for the sport than arguably anyone. But I do agree with a lot of what Drew is saying. And the PDGA scoring sucks, UDisc was much better.

  • @jessearzola8214

    The baskets don't have a different amount of chains. He's wrong. The baskets at Champions Landing have a smaller lower ring with allow the "mushroom" look to go away and bring the chains in closer.

    Seriously? The pros are complaining about spit outs, bounce outs or fall throughs? Here's a hint. Stop slamming your putts. If you hit a putt in ball golf too hard? It goes over the hole and out the back or you get a lip out. The pros today putt so fing hard!! I think putts should come out if hit too hard.. I would like to put on a pro tourney on with single, 12 chain baskets like we had in the old days--they would never complain again ever. Putting should be an art form with touch like in ball golf- not a slam it as hard as you can and it sticks every time. It should be subtle, easy with feel #3948
    P.S. and they would have to play with xd's aero's, 86 molds, 91 molds and moonlighters and my fav super puppies with that special stamp on it California's #1 cash crop on it. I have a few left never been thrown
