I thought you meant swords! Though there was gonna be slicing and dicing Kung Fu style!
I didn't know Swards was coming. But it's a crazy course and I'd love to play there (preferably when there's no wind...)
But I'm definitely more stoked about the Rocky Mountain Championships. Nice looking course and some seriously talented throwers. P-Mac, Joe, and Christian are really stinkin' good.

awesome vid, reminds me of the open landscapes around my region, but my course here has a lot more trees, similar level of rocks.
Wooooo! RMC!
I know I just added a lot to the conversation.

When people debate course structure, putting greens, and making a course challenging without rope, they need to be sent to RMC. The greens on the short holes on this course are often brutal. Very nice.

Sorry been re-watching the CCDG 2014 Worlds coverage again the past couple of weeks. It is amazing how much things have grown over a couple of years. Your folder organization on Youtube is money.
I will catch back up on the new stuff and then watch 2015 Worlds.
The courses at Bohart during RMC do have manufactured OB. Not on every hole or most holes, but certainly more than what is necessary in my opinion. Though I take into account that there may be some property boundary lines they are working with. See my review:

With the exception of a couple of holes, I think the greens are very fair. Though some are not easy, I think they are far from brutal. It is tough to get on the green for some holes, but I wouldn't call the greens themselves brutal.
You are right, though. There are some wonderful examples of good fairway structure at Bohart. Many great fairways there do not have manufactured OB and some of the great fairways there that have OB really don't need the manufactured OB.

Yeah we've come a long way in a couple years!
I think you're referring to playlists on youtube? They are clutch! :thmbup:
2015 Worlds was great. Round 4 and 5 are nuts. Paul was playing out of his mind.

I didn't mean brutal to be a perjorative. The tough greens require a thinking approach, and if you blow it, the results are harsh, relative to the, "I can run at this and no matter how far I'm off, I will make the come back," type holes. I like that.
The OB there doesn't define the course, by what I could see. IMO, this is the type of course you should aim for in high level play.

Glad Rocky Mt. had a R1 "super card". Bummed I skipped out on playing there when I had the chance.

I don't think the straight top down view is the best angle for in the bags as it gives no idea of the release angle or height. I do like top down for form analysis though. It kind of looks like the discs are rolling instead of flying, and you are so "zoomed out" to get the whole flight that the disc is like a pixel in size.
Couldn't agree more regarding round 5. I love that I can go back and re-live being there live! :thmbup:

BTW, give me a definition of fall line as used in RMC. I know what it means for skiing, at least I think I do, but not here. Is he discussing the transition point in the turnover or flex?

After watching more, seems like he means the way the terrain falls off.
I'm still not seeing it. I'm thinking through the holes. If being really stupid on the greens equals punishment then I think you are setting the bar pretty low for what is tough and brutal. The greens aren't necessarily easy, but they are very fair and far from tough. Very fair does not equal brutal in my opinion.
He's using it in pretty much the same way skiing does.
