Just finished! What a round by Ricky! I'll save 1080p for my second viewing tomorrow at lunch! These are amazing videos, Marty. I can't express how much enjoyment they bring me. Thank you for making them!
Excellent work on these videos - they are amazing! They are perfect for showing non-DG friends what the game is all about at the highest levels. Compelling photography, fast moving, and no annoying commentary or music.....and just enough player reaction is captured. Thanks!
Ricky is an absolute monster out there just terrorizing the course. Thanks very much for all the hard work filming and editing all of this it is really fantastic footage.
Great video Marty - thanks a lot. TH-cam does a lot of post-processing of HD video streams to allow them to stream correctly, by applying some wizard-like compression to the uploaded video, and that is why the HD version often isn't available for a little while after uploading.
This is the first disc golf video I ever saw. I immediately fell in love with the sport. Great video, and thank you for the introduction to my new hobby.
How have I missed your videos for so long? Glad someone on DGCR posted the link to this video! Great work... some of the best that I've seen. I'm looking forward to checking out more! Thanks for the obvious time and effort you put into making this!
Nikko needs a coach to teach him how to BE a professional. I met him and Ricky Wysocki for a practice round at Tyler(Eric Yetter) and I saw a little boy brat and a true professional(Ricky). Nikko had a fit and took his nut bag and beat it into the ground repeatedly in a complete fit of rage. I think his sponsors should know of his actions and reprimand him. He is an incredible player but it;s no excuse to to have that kind of an ego. On a more positive note, Ricky Wysoki was a complete pro. Very respectful and pleasant. I asked him for a few pointers for sidearm and he actually took the time to watch me throw and then show me a few neat things. He's aces in my book. Soooooo, Nikko? GROW THE HELL UP! And Ricky? Thanks and keep on rockin that sidearm! Markus
+Markus Alt This is one of his more tame appearances and still the crying about his behavior. We have like one colorful guy in disc golf where everybody is stone cold boring to watch and people do nothing but whine about Locastro if he so much as berates himself. The guy is super competitive and very self-critical. It doesn't really take anything away from the sport. Nikko is young, he'll get to the point where he plays like a zombie the same way everybody else does. Then people will still be talking about how he "used" to be so unprofessional when they run out of complaints.
That roller nikko laid down was insane. Film can't capture how absurd of a shot that is to go for. If you guys ever get a chance to play the IDGC this course is off the chain! One of the best of all time IMHO
James, you're always one of the first to watch/comment, and I appreciate your support! Just be aware that when the video first goes "live," for some reason it can't be watched in HD (1080p). That might mean you need to come back later and watch it again in more detail! ;)
I started playing disc golf about a year ago, I'm addicted. I now have four aces, and still getting better. I wish I could get more distance, but kind of hard with a bad back.
Nikko is awesome and it's a pure joy to have someone stand out of the "norm" of player behavior. If we all were like Ricky, it would be pretty boring. I love seeing emotions in players and people in general, espacially in sports. So stop your crying please, not everyone is as boring as you.
I understand there are different discs for different distances. And I understand the scoring. But what are the other basic rules? the marker they drop before shots? how much can you move to take a shot? etc...
i'm surprised and actually impress that Nikko called the foot fault on a Prodigy teammate. Great video, great footage and that course looks gnarly man. wow.
I was pretty stoked to see the rule calling by Nikko on Garrett. It's nice that they can be professional with eachother even playing for the same sponsor. And it takes almost 14 minutes for Ricky to look human? He is insane. Thanks again Marty.. this'll be getting a lot of airtime with me and my buddies.
I played this course in team dubs today in a tournament and shot three over. These top pros are hitting birdies after birdies. I now know what pros actually are.
Played this course back in 2007, at the first Hall Of Fame. The front nine didn't look too familiar here, but most of the back nine I remember. Longest 18 hole round of golf I've ever played......5 hours it was.....
Hey, just wondering, are those trees on the course left there just to make it tougher or more scenic or what? like on hole 3 they could cut down a couple trees and make a designated path.
You should watch DiscMania Deep In The Game. That should point out everything you need to know for starters. The marker is needed at official tournaments and you are not allowed to cross that when you throw.
The placement of the foot is a straight line from the basket through the disc, the line has nothing to do with the fairway. So on a hole where the basket is a dogleg right, as this one is, the placement of the foot is supposed to be to off-center relative to the fairway.
Not worrying about putting you foot down right counts for quite a bit. It can make a world of difference if you do not have to keep some (if only a little) focus/precision on the aspect of your throw.
no one has to second it. It was only a warning. I do understand players still wanting to second violations resulting in warnings though since they are used to doing it and it still makes sense. I think the ruling might change again in the next rule book update.
Poor "Fedlbeard" looks strung out and in need of sleep. Seems like the past two years he has just been playing stressed out. I hope to see him return to form, because he is one of my favs.
Well now with this video, people who were there can watch it and make their assumptions as to what kind of character Nikko is. The future tourneys this year will be amazing.
Fantastic vid Marty!
All time favorite disc golf round to watch on TH-cam, great players and great course
Just finished! What a round by Ricky!
I'll save 1080p for my second viewing tomorrow at lunch!

They just keep getting better. Thank you Marty!
Ricky is an absolute monster out there just terrorizing the course. Thanks very much for all the hard work filming and editing all of this it is really fantastic footage.
For those of you who couldn't find it, the foot fault is at 23:10.
Great video Marty - thanks a lot.

I've just started playing disc golf this year and this is great to be able to see what a good drive looks like. Thanks alot!
These are some of my favorite videos! Thanks for all your hard work!
Seriously enjoy all your videos. I love that they have no commentary so it kinda makes it feel like you're there. Keep it up man.
I feel like I should be paying for this coverage. Thanks Marty.
Wow! Can't believe you got this up so fast! Thank you Marty!
Martyhmcgee you have no idea how happy you make me. I feel like a kid on christmas who got exactly what he wanted if not better.
Love this video - great job guys really captured the essence of playing.
thanks for another great video. Beautiful camera work
awesome I love the quality of these videos
Thanks for your dedication, especially on a day like that. Great job as usual Marty!
Great video and great filming, especially in the rain!
How have I missed your videos for so long? Glad someone on DGCR posted the link to this video! Great work... some of the best that I've seen. I'm looking forward to checking out more! Thanks for the obvious time and effort you put into making this!
Keep up the great camera work. Love watching these guys.

Thank you for the videos! I love watching them and you do a great job filming them
Great video by the way. Thanks a lot for the upload.
50,000+ views Marty!!! Awesome man. I"m so excited for you dude. Keep up the awesome videos and can't wait to get a round in with you soon.
Really well done. Nice work.
Great video work as always! Best part of the day is seeing when you posted something. lol.
Awesome as always, and so quick on the edit/upload too... thanks!
What a great video.. I mean i watched the WHOLE thing.. Its was all about video person.. great job..
Marty!! Dave Feldberg just shared your video on Facebook!! That's huge!
I might start doing this looks pretty fun
That roller nikko laid down was insane. Film can't capture how absurd of a shot that is to go for.
If you guys ever get a chance to play the IDGC this course is off the chain! One of the best of all time IMHO
That's awesome, Nolan! Our sport is, imho, the most majestic of 'em all. I'm just trying to capture some of its inherent beauty. Thanks for watching!
It looked pretty fantastic on my TV already.
James, you're always one of the first to watch/comment, and I appreciate your support! Just be aware that when the video first goes "live," for some reason it can't be watched in HD (1080p). That might mean you need to come back later and watch it again in more detail! ;)

I agree. That's why I love Happy Gilmore so much.
Nikko's a drama queen.
Thanks a lot Marcus. I shoot with a Canon HF G10.
ricky is my hero and the future of disc golf.
you were damn right son
I understand there are different discs for different distances. And I understand the scoring. But what are the other basic rules? the marker they drop before shots? how much can you move to take a shot? etc...
i'm surprised and actually impress that Nikko called the foot fault on a Prodigy teammate. Great video, great footage and that course looks gnarly man. wow.
Great video Marty! I am impressed with how fast you edited and uploaded.
Marty, if it wasn't for you, my Mondays/Tuesdays at work would be much more productive. Awesome stuff as always!
I was pretty stoked to see the rule calling by Nikko on Garrett. It's nice that they can be professional with eachother even playing for the same sponsor. And it takes almost 14 minutes for Ricky to look human? He is insane. Thanks again Marty.. this'll be getting a lot of airtime with me and my buddies.
Does the foot fault ruling work any differently with you there filming it? Aka is there instant replay to confirm the foot fault on the spot?
Course looks fun to play
I played this course in team dubs today in a tournament and shot three over. These top pros are hitting birdies after birdies. I now know what pros actually are.
Been waiting for this
I also find it comforting seeing even the pros hit trees. I live in Washington and there are plenty of trees to hit.
pdga.com has all the player stats, tournament info, scores, payouts, etc.
can anyone tell me what disc Garret used on his drive for #8?
This is a really good vid but I wish they would put what disc they are throwing
I was standing at the turn on 18 in the white/red hat. Saw the top 5 or so cards come in. Nikko's roller was freaking UNREAL to see in person.
Great videos! Is Feldberg a stand in for Iron and Wine?
Sweet vid bro!
Looks like a pretty challenging course, I don't think I'd have the control to navigate those trees.
U should try the east coast lol
Played this course back in 2007, at the first Hall Of Fame. The front nine didn't look too familiar here, but most of the back nine I remember. Longest 18 hole round of golf I've ever played......5 hours it was.....
Hey, just wondering, are those trees on the course left there just to make it tougher or more scenic or what? like on hole 3 they could cut down a couple trees and make a designated path.
Always makes me smile at how different people play in different areas, to me this is pretty wide open course compared to a lot of other ones im near.
The trees are how you find out who the pros are.
Crazy How much nikko has improved his game since 2009
Can someone tell me how Ricky ends up (-44) when he started the round at (-33) and shot even par
Good call on the footfault. I saw it and was thinking if anybody would call him on it.
You did a really good job on a long course in nasty weather! I feel like I'm still wet from that weekend.
whats the payout in these tournaments?
Nice video and really fast! What kind of camera are you using? It looks really nice.
Wonder what Ricky threw on the first throw??? Killed it!!
what is OB?
You should watch DiscMania Deep In The Game. That should point out everything you need to know for starters. The marker is needed at official tournaments and you are not allowed to cross that when you throw.
pretty awesome introduction to the sport! Mcfly does some amazing work!
MARTY! You are the best, hands down..dont change anything..100%
Lack of commentary is definitely one of the best parts of Marty's videos.
David's beard is intense
the holes are par 4's not 3's I think.
so what was that all about?
The placement of the foot is a straight line from the basket through the disc, the line has nothing to do with the fairway. So on a hole where the basket is a dogleg right, as this one is, the placement of the foot is supposed to be to off-center relative to the fairway.
is that a foot fault on locastro's 2nd shot on 18? >_
Not worrying about putting you foot down right counts for quite a bit. It can make a world of difference if you do not have to keep some (if only a little) focus/precision on the aspect of your throw.
video footage is not allowed to be used to make a ruling in Disc golf.
Why does it say David, 100 times in the vid, and you still call him Dave.
no one has to second it. It was only a warning. I do understand players still wanting to second violations resulting in warnings though since they are used to doing it and it still makes sense. I think the ruling might change again in the next rule book update.
i am just glad the rain held off...
Great footage and course looks awesome. Ricky is sick, big putt at 11:23. I don't see too many Nikko foot faults, but lots of frustrations...
wish i could throw discs that accurately too :/ currently i only got distance. i throw too far, and too far either to left or right :(
Poor "Fedlbeard" looks strung out and in need of sleep. Seems like the past two years he has just been playing stressed out. I hope to see him return to form, because he is one of my favs.
i really can't see the fault at 16:59 ? though i don't play professionally
Out of Bounds
Well now with this video, people who were there can watch it and make their assumptions as to what kind of character Nikko is.
The future tourneys this year will be amazing.
No, the silence is what makes your videos great and stand out. You want music, go watch murder mike. Vids are awesome McFly!
So was it a foot fault?? Looked to be clean enough not to call for sure
