2019 Ledgestone

The temp round ratings are silly high.

Just like Memorial. Lots of OB makes for high ratings.

Thanks for the coverage, it was free, shouldn't complain, etc. I am not a fan of two Uli coverage. First event in a while that I actually turned the volume down and watched the chat, got more updates on scores that way anyhow

Hole 9, the bridge hole, is not a true island green I guess, but behaves much like one, with the Black Ink Discs OB wall most of the way around the perimeter of the island. The green has been moved this year due to flooding.
One would think that a player throwing a hyzer to the green would have to get their disc over the wall in order to be inbounds. But, video is showing players hitting the wall from the out of bounds side and still being called inbounds, because the OB line is a couple of inches beyond the wall. There does not seem to be a point in having the OB wall on that side of the green.

Two things:
a) I have been lobbying for all of those walls to be at least 1m off the OB line.
b) the walls were intentionally on the IB side of the string to avoid the issue that's been seen a couple times now when the string is on the IB side of the wall where a disc was standing on end between the string and the wall and OB.
c) (did I say two), smart players realized they could err to the side with the hill and count on most likely rolling down and being in bounds.

That spontaneous swamp over there was unfortunate and IMO not as good of a hole as it usually is. Having to make last minute adjustments did not really give time for us to account for what you have noticed.

Here are the hole performance stats for Eureka for players rated 970+.

(I'll put this behind a spoiler button in case anyone wants to do their own calculations or make their own judgements by watching the videos.)

Stats is fun. . .from what i can see Paul missed ONE C1x putt all weekend. . .and is "only" 7th in the Udisc C1x stat

 

[Jolt]

Looking at the C1x stats and then all the videos. . i feel like the top players missed more putts inside 3,3m than the did 3,3-10m C1x. . i simply cant remember them being as "perfect" in the circle as the C1x stats says

There did seem to be a lot of missed short putts on the live cards, especially on day1. I haven't watched the postpro vids yet though.

If this is "Worlds warmup" it does not look so good for the current World champs. .

Barsby was 40 throws behing McBeth. . . and Paige B was 26 behind Paige P

BIG numbers is just 3 rounds

Never say never, but I don't expect Barsby to competitively defend his title.

Paige B may have just had a bad tournament, but I expect to see her back on lead cards, and soon.

 

[SD86]

Is there any post-production FPO coverage? (I may have missed any videos posted or any announcements about it...)

 

[DiscFifty]

Take away the "world champ" title and they are playing normal golf for their skill sets imop. Barsby will always be a fan favorite when he gets a chance to play on a featured card. Dude is just fun to watch.

 

[Horsman]

I really feel like this year for worlds is its going to be another Paul v Ricky and PP v Cat and everyone else is just trying to catch up.

Not saying I think these two will win...

But worlds mixes in two rounds at a completely different course.

Yes, but they just can´t afford to lose this many throws on one of the cources

Paul looked super strong. . . but did not play at all well last year at Ledgestone. . strange what a year can do

I think the FPO side will be interesting with Eveliina, Henna, and Kristin all signed up, but I think you are right about MPO.

GK Productions on YouTube has the post production for FPO.

Paul looked like a machine at KCWO and now Ledgestone. Totally dialed in with his discs, throwing long AND accurate shots. He's gotta be the favorite going into Worlds. opcorn:

 

[Jolt]

The way he is playing he gotta be the favorite going into everything
