My 2 takeaways from round 1
Paul has a weird full body follow-through to the left. Disc flies well it seems but it does look really nonstandard
Emersons caddie is the woo lady, right? Although seems just a lady now, for which we are all grateful. Or maybe Rickys shots were just that much more...
Also while youre at it, pick a state that has 6 months of winter. :D
About the top EU MPO and how theyre doing vis a vis their US brethren. I wonder if theres anyone who could make a graph showing the finishing spots in DGPT events of the top rated EU MPO for the last I dont know, lets say 17...
What a strange round from Anttila. He was 1 over through 8! I kinda tuned out around that point, the level of play nor the course could keep me captivated.
Now I go to scores; how is he -8?? Birdied 9, par on 10 and then straight birdied out.
Resilience.
This course gets mixed up in my mind with the Ledgestone course. Yawn. Handpicking the good holes from both you could potentially have something awesome. (Or the inverse of that, something truly atrocious)
Agree to disagree then I guess. Its pretty prevalent that these types of areas are OB. We are used to it. More pressure filled shot in that case, vs "if I just get this out there I'll have a putt a least"
Why are any creeks on the property OB then? The one where Presnell lost his putter?
Not...
I think I need to reiterate the need for obvious streams being OB. I see no real reason why 16&17 arent. 17 the easiest hole? Gosh darn I wonder why. Put some added pressure into the drive. Two hole swing potential on the third and second to last holes. Whats not to like?
Woah. Im so exhausted just from watching this tourney. What a course. Cant imagine playing it.
Rooting for Anttila obviously. Thank the deities or lack thereof that he got his DGPT win. He would be the forever runner-up if not for that.
Lets see what happens for Presnell after this, or if...
That was another enjoyable round. Believe it or not I watched it during a drive to and from Ikea and the grueling walk within. One of my least favorite places on Earth. Watching this on the side made it so much easier.
The broadcast said same cards for R3 (to allow sufficient downtime between rounds) but the PDGA site says there will be a shuffle. Guess we'll see which it will be.
TL; DR
Anywhoo... any other tidbits you noticed during the first round? I saw Calvin going back to hiding the basket before going into the last swing in his putt. In Jonesboro he didnt do that
That was enjoyable.
I really like the course. Although Im gonna need the creeks on 16&17 to be OB. Cmon now. Loads of smaller ditches are commonly OB on any of the courses we see on the tour. Here, your disc is in wide running water and its fine? Yeah buddy whatever
Also talk to me how the...
