2018 USDGC

[JC17393]

No Feature Card this year? 2017 hade McBeth, Pierce, Eagle and Koling..THAT was a fun card

Jomez is covering two cards, 11:20 (McBeth, Paju, Leyland, D. Schultz) and 1:10 (Sexton, Heimburg, Reek, Queen).

Don't forget that the rules no longer allow for "featured" super group cards unless it's for live video coverage. Waiving that rule requires PDGA Tour Manager permission AND the permission of each player on the card. Maybe they didn't get the players to agree or maybe they didn't want to bother asking at all since it's not all that important.

Queen on feature card is going to be awesome! Lefty can shred!

So will the Queen card get post-produced?

 

[Flick Maniac]

I find it impossible to imagine that "Reek" guy as anything else than the emasculated character from Game of Thrones

 

[Jolt]

So it took 15min before the first ace . .

Yessir! Next day coverage.

 

[kiwichiwi]

Thats gotta feel great to ace the first throw of the tournament!

Yes, better feeling than that hole two from "the other AJ" . . ouch

Another 2 hours until video coverage starts . They should just have a live feed of a stationary camera on hole 1 so we can see everyone's first tee shot.

There is no coverage today. There will be post production posted tomorrow sometime from Jomez.

 

[kiwichiwi]

Live coverage starts on Friday.

[chosenmatrix]

Not positive about these numbers..... so someone can correct me.

Circle 2: 20 meters and in
Circle 1: 10 meters and in
Parked: 3 meters and in?

Oh yeah thanks. After some more clicking and hovering, I see 10 and 20 are right. Parked says 3.3 meters. Thanks again.

How the heck does uDisc track every dang shot? They have somebody walking with each group? It's pretty sweet and the stats are righteous.

AJ Carey's ace on hole 1

 

[Cgkdisc]

Regular attendees not playing this year: Dave Dunipace and Pete May.

 

[Halcón]

Paige Pierce had said she's gonna go for it and not hold back. Well, that's not working too well so far.

Yeah. I think they have a volunteer walk with each flight and manually input the throw-by-throw stats.

Circle 1 is typically painted so it's easy to see who gets it. Maybe Circle 2 as well.
I have no idea where "parked" range is. There have been several iterations of that concept throughout the years ("bullseye", etc.) but it's certainly tap-in territory.

Ace on hole 1 is a nice start for someone. 2 under par after 1 hole is a pretty aggressive pace to set.

 

[TheOtherBill]

An ace on #1 is pretty lucky IMO. Chain high if you miss would be a circle 2 come-backer most likely.
