Maybe and doing it, in tournament, in the lead, when it actually could affect something takes a lot of fortitude....and then to execute it perfectly. Either because he truly believed that was the correct disc for that shot, in those conditions at that time or because he has the skill to do it simply just because and/or with a savy consequence of fiscal gain makes no difference to the awesomeness =)
 
Here is the official announcement from the FB event page...

The live coverage yesterday, with hardly no spectators, lack luster commentary, etc, it just seemed overall to look so dated. Like we were going back in time 10 years or so. Hard to explain... but it was definitely not a video I would show any of my friends in support of the sport.

Show them the edited coverage when it is all done.

Wow, these teepads are 100% unacceptable and unsafe. How does the PDGA not step in and force big tournaments to have standard teepads. They do it for baskets so why not for teepads.

This is what we Finns have been saying for several of the big tournaments in the US for years now.... Tho I think it has slowly been getting better now

In Finland if you host a tournament, the tees better be in shape otherwise prepare for a brewhaha. Actually, if you intend to have a course worth anything you better have tees in shape, tourney or no tourney. Luckily it is nowadays almost by default that there are artificial turf tees, well laid out and built to last, on any new course outside of some pitch and putts perhaps.
 
Soon time for the classic Paige vs Cat and Paul vs Ricky battle . . When was the last time we had them all 1st and 2nd going in to the last round?
 
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.



 
That shot on 14 was the luckiest shot i have ever seen. . so much nerve on the card now
 
SO over just 3 rounds Paige P beat the World champ Paige B by 26 throws. . .and last years Ledgestone winner by 22 !
Even Hokom is 20 back. . .Paige and Cat is on a totally different level

Paige hit the basket after the win. . no warning from Cat ;)

I agree, PGA has for PGA tournament used Courses, a minimum size for the tee box and surrounding area for those waiting must be. So why not have a minimum standard PDGA? The standard could a include a separate standard for temporary courses that are true temporary courses like a one and done for PDGA tournaments and true semi-permanent courses. Ski courses would be under Semi-Permanent even if the baskets get put back in the same spot each year. This would be for places that host PDGA sanctioned events.
