Agree on both. I want to support FPO, but that was very difficult to watch.

Even more impressive... is that until event week, he hadn't played either course...

This isn't going to sit well with Paige or Paul.
Bet both of them win Ledgestone. They both have the right mental toughness to bounce back and remind everyone of their dominance.
Too bad Eagle won't be there... he's been on a year and playing some really great golf.

Strange to se the two "wierd FH form" players on top in FPO. . .and two of the shortest distance of the tee
But Paige throws as many OBs on ONLY hole 17 as Hokom and Widboom did in total!! . . 5 OBs on ONE hole!!
17 OBs for Paige . . .5 for Hokom and Widboom. . .that´s 12 more and she looses by 4 throws
I know "play safe" is not Paiges thing..but come on! . . .a least "play safer"

Another useless PDGA rule that will never....ever.....be called out by a touring pro.

Its right there on the FDGA pages. I am content to trusting that, until newer info comes to light.
Rarely do I have the energy to go into meta discussion but this just irks me enough.
Lately (or hs it been always?) your discussion style seems to be a lot of seemingly holier than thou comments that still do not bring new info into the discussion, just offhanded jabs that somewhere there may be information, if you're not stupid enough to find it. Its not a competition about whos smart.
Like:
-whats 2+2?

(Logical answer with no hidden meanings: 4)
It looks like Paige is playing this course with the MPO mentality to "I can birdie every hole" ...and in MPO you have to play like that and birds 50% of the holes to win.
But in FPO par is enough to win....and I think if Paige goes in with the mentality to par every hole she can do that with ease and get a few bonus birdys a long the way

Paige might be the most aggressive player in the world, male or female. It burned her this tournament, but it has helped her win sooooo many others.
A few other thoughts...
1)Hole 17 seems gimmicky. Great for drama, not great for ensuring the best player wins.
2) Eagle pulled off something I didn't think he could do--win on a heavily wooded course. We'll see if it transfers to Maple Hill.
3) The live chat comments were just awful. I know it's the internet and all, but geez. If you call Paul McBeth a choker in any circumstance, you shouldn't be allowed to watch disc golf anymore.
4) Eagle's girlfriend works for NASA? Most people work at a car wash or grocery store at that age.

I feel it burns Paige more than it helps. . i don´t mind her beeing aggressive but she needs to learn to turn that down sometimes
I like hole 17, not often you see a hole that plays everything from 2-6 for the best players
and it is only a 127m par 4 . . so 40+40+40m and you are inside C1, and there are places to land safe
But the hole just screems "go on just go for it, i dare you"
How could Eagles girlfriend be allowed to be there? . . you can´t bring a caddie but you can bring a girlfriend?
Yep, this is Steve West. I pretty much ignore his comments, they aren't worth much anyway.

That thought crossed my mind, too.
I also noticed Paige and Missy Gannon sitting right next to each other, waiting for the lead card to finish. Neither had their mask covering their face. All they had to do was put a bit of space between them.

I saw her a couple times holding a gopro... so maybe she technically was media filming for his YT channel?

I thought that outline looked like the Kentucky shape.
It was either poorly laid out or erosion has moved it.

Could be a social distancing issue. Maybe your caddie could be there but not carry your discs if you cohabit with them?
When you look at the winning scores from 2018 and especially 2017, it is very amazing. Pars were lower on a few holes then, but still.
Quite a few eagles out there this weekend, that would be easiest to remedy. That wider fairway on 16 seemed to really help.
Eagle parking hole 10 will not help future players. Not sure how to make some of these holes much harder, they all seem so difficult to birdie now. I think we are just seeing the entire sport raise its level of play.
