I'll preface this by saying I'm a huge Central Coast and Jomez fan, I've been watching Ian's stuff since it first came out and loved every bit. I've been watching live since the first USDGC broadcasts. I was very upset to see those guys get booted for this season.
I watched the Live Coverage for the first time from hole 10 onwards last night (I had watched some of the post produced stuff after the last one) I would say it was the best Live Coverage I've seen. I was on the edge of my seat at times, there was a genuine butterflies in the stomach moment when Paul went to take the 10 meter putt on hole 17 which basically secured the win. I've never been quite as engaged with a live Disc Golf broadcast as I was then. There was drama, excitement, tension. Commentary was good, I liked Jeff Spring's low whispery take, it felt very golf commentary to me, Nate was good on colour (although if I hear the word competitors just one more time....)
The picture quality was great, I liked the cuts to the chase cards in the walk times, most of the jumps from camera to camera were pretty good (there were one or two very apparent fails, but nothing unwatchable) Chucking in some quality adverts to the downtimes would be a good addition.
Did I lose the track of the disc at times? Yes, but in general it seemed better than any other live I've seen. Sometimes the positions taken on the green weren't great, definitely room for improvement there where the putt couldn't be seen blocked by the player.
As a side note I was impressed by the crowd marshalling throughout, they were kept under control even with a gallery following Chase and lead. To keep them off the peninsula on 17 added a real tension to that walk down there.
Generally very impressed with the coverage altogether.
