Greenwell said "about 28 feet" on the live broadcast. Not sure how accurate that was.
That's pretty close. It was a full step or two into the circle.

Thanks, I didn't catch the live broadcast, can't wait to see the other holes not in the McFly vid. I thought it was inside automatic range for him. Was that the first time he didn't 2 hole #1 all tourney?Greenwell said "about 28 feet" on the live broadcast. Not sure how accurate that was.
I'm still perplexed by Wysocki. He got 2nd place like 2 years ago. So people saying not his style of play doesn't completely make sense entirely. Anyway.
So why was there such a drastic point spread from the last few years as far as score is concerned? I kow they changes some teepads, did they change or make the OB more difficult too?
Depends on how much of lead, how late in the 4th quarter, TO's left, and how much faith you have in your run game and defense vs their offense. If Andrew Luck is on the other side and I have Peyton Manning with a 3-7 point lead and I need a first down to seal the deal, I'd leave the ball in Manning's hands to throw over running with Monte Ball. Same thing the other way with trusting Luck over Richardson to seal the deal with Manning waiting on the other side to get the ball back.
A better analogy of "aggressive" play....
Your football team is up by 2 points, you have the ball, you are at your own 10 yard line and there are 30 seconds left and it's first down. Instead of assuming "victory formation", you decide to go 4 straight "hail mary" passing attempts in order to get more points. You go incomplete all 4 times, turnover on downs, and lose the game by 1 point.
That's overly aggressive play.
I don't think Johne was being overly aggressive, or even just plain aggressive, he had made that shot the last 3 times in a row (par, bird, bird). He's one of the best players in the world, he can do this blindfolded. Of course he's going to have the confidence to make that throw, and make it again after a bad OB, and again, and again. That's how he kept his mind straight on 18, he has short memory and you can't let the last shot get to you.
Overly aggressive would've been to ace run each time, aggressive would've been to go for the left side each time. Passive would've been to go way right, and overly passive would've been to lay it up.
I thought you would post some asinine BS such as this. Junior staff is laughable coming from a videographer. The bottom of the totem pole. PDGA Brass huh? you are always really good at name dropping so why don't you post exactly who you spoke to about your first hand knowledge of the incident?You're a junior staffer. The PDGA brass said the call was wrong, he should have moved it or at lest played a provisional. Deal with it.
He did the same thing 3rd round on 888 right after taking a 2 stroke lead throwing 3 consecutive OBs as fast as possible. Then after pausing a second makes a decent throw. He probably practices that way, but to me it's a flaw of playing angry/hastily.The thing that struck me with JohnE's blowup was how quickly he threw the second and third discs. I'm sure the urge is to just get it over with but he really jumped right into them. I'd be interested to know how he feels about that now -- does he feel like he rushed those shots. But then to come back and *crush* the drive on 18 was so impressive.

And I'll tell you who I want to see more of in big tournaments is Nate Sexton. In the round I saw with him in the live broadcast he really seemed to manage the course well -- playing it safe when everyone else wasn't.
this is correct. 2 rushed Tee shots that turned over and then the roller never made it back in bounds so he plaid from the hazard for his 9. You know I think the fast play is just John E's style. he has won plenty with it so I can't really fault him for going with his gut as that same gut is what has made him so successful over the years.Johne went fast on 888 Friday I think, 2 obs and a hazard off the tee. Thought he should've collected himself first.
On #17 I'd like to see a OS low glide disc like a Zone RHBH on an anny flex line. Anyone see this as a viable option?

Did Will foot fault the last putt?
It'd be like trying to ice the kicker on an extra point, unless he already had a warning before. Might have even worked to make him re-putt at the rate putts were going in though.Haha... I actually told myself the exact same thing when I watched it... I say he did and I say it's impossible for Paul to call him on it.
Funny part is that he did not loose balance, he simply never showed balance and moved forward out of excitement.
