How is noboby talking about how Simon is not killing it this season (well after the pretty hot start) after he got himself a steady girlfriend

cant believe nate and jerm did commentary.

 

[sunrisensunrise]

JC -9 through 9 and Paul McBeth with a 95 foot birdie. Can't wait for the live rounds.

James ****ing Conrad

9 up, 9 down

 

[Tjamesd]

Wow... Conrad is -9 thru 9, all but one of his birdie putts have been from inside 20 ft.

 

[Jouni]

Not many bogeys for the top players, top8 bogey free.

Uli making a move...

Sorry James. My B.

cant believe nate and jerm did commentary.

Why is that?

 

[Jouni]

Not looking good for Simon and Eagle, already 10 behind Conrad. Ricky and Nate struggling today as well, only -2/-3 under today so far.

Jalle Stoor jumped 84 places up today! Currently 15th with -11, not too many players behind who could jump ahead today. Nice to see him doing well after not so great performances this season.

Why is that?

You are competing for a world title and then doing this afterward?

Your sole focus at majors should be winning.

Weren't they both doing commentary when they won their USDGCs?

 

[Lurp Nuts]

Must be some real incentive for Nate and Jerm to do the commentary. Thinking about other people's shots on yesterday's course, when you're about to play for a world championship seems like too much of a distraction. Got to keep your head in the game.

cant confirm or deny, just saying im surprised either way.

 

[sunrisensunrise]

Ricky heating up? He's birdied 4 of the last 5 holes from more than 38ft.

 

[jvphobic]

Jerm & Nate's schedule is that they do commentary in the morning before their round. This isn't distracting at all for them. In fact, it may actually take their mind off of their own game while they wait to tee. What else are they gonna do?

And why do they do it??? Money & notoriety. Both players have a Patreon that makes them money for every round they commentate. Sexton is at about $190 per 18, and Jerm at $130. On top of branding themselves and being able to sell BigSexy discs.

It doesn't hurt that they are good at it as well.

On the flip side, they might see shots and/or placements they wouldn't otherwise see if they were just hanging out during this spare time. I would say they're keeping their heads in the game more than those that aren't watching how others are playing/have played the courses during this year's rounds.

 

[Jouni]

Conrad takes a bogey, Uli in lead.
