Great to see all the pros coming back to Columbus this year. Hear this Will?

I'm super excited for Columbus to put on a next level event. It looks like we'll see a bigger payout than in past years!

Looks to be a pretty solid field this year.

Are both courses fairly cart friendly or is carrying a bag better?

 

[Hampstead]

East course is fairly cart friendly. West (temp) course has a few holes that can be tricky, but people have managed to make it work in the past.

 

[Hamer]

^ Thank you very much.

On the Westside, a lot of cart players will park by Hole 2 when playing 18 and just bring whatever discs they will use to complete hole 18 and 1.

I'll be there this weekend! My brother said he saw Ricky Wysocki on the course today. I'm excited to see top pros launching long bombs.

 

[CreemCheese]

I plan to be there Sunday to watch the final 9. Always love the safari course they put together for it.

I appreciate the advice.

Does anyone know if there will be YouTube coverage? Either live or later production?

Saw someone out there this morning walking around with a tripod. Looked like he was scouting for camera angles.

 

[Cgkdisc]

Pretty sure Smashboxx said last night that they would be covering 18 of the 27 holes at least one, maybe both rounds.

 

[Miamisms]

Yes! Super happy they will be filming this! Love that course so much!

We finalized the details just 2 days ago on how we are going to approach this event. So, as of right now the plan is for us to be LIVE for all the days of the event. Each round is 27 holes, but we will be coming in around the 9th hole or so each day to give you the final 18 holes of the rounds. Here is the event links where you can find the live broadcast.

Round 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iop9DAT8OlM
Round 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgF7WYgoGjY
Round 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1HdNz2cAGQ
Final 9: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWDbfAp60XI

Since the rounds start at 8am, we will be starting our live coverage around 10:30 or so (we will let everyone know if that changes). You should be able to find the streams at the links above along with SmashBoxxTV's FB & the PDGA FB page.
