Most Common stereotypes about top pros/Nicknames

[Top10z]

I'm undergoing a project and was wondering what common funny stereotypes and nicknames there are for top pros


For eg...
Mcbeth constantly called McBeast
Wysocki... The Raptor
and of course the Constant debate of Conrad's vs. Michael Jo's hair!

Thx for helping me with my project

Mcdouble, for when mcbeth gets a double bogey. (I saw it on the disc golf humor facebook page).

Well, if Nikko doesn't have the nickname "Clank", then let it start here...

Is your project for TMZ? How about, solid, long, good, accurate, conditioned, touring, focused, committed, dedicated......

Sorry to be so cynical, but this seems to be a recipe for only negative nonsense.

Landfill.

All pros are good putters.

Should that be Tin Cup instead of Clank?

Locally we've come to name a good tree kick after one of the local open players because he is infamous for getting them.

Conrad is either Frisbee Jesus or Mitch Kramer.

On the stereotypes front... I saw this chart a few years ago for MTG (the card game) and immediately thought it applied fairly well to disc golf. Of course it doesn't always apply, and in some cases, I think touring pros fall back off the second peak because of their struggle to, essentially, keep their jobs. Either way, I chuckled.

Once again, a self-appointed arbiter of appropriate topics of discussion for these message boards weighs in. If there is a recipe for negativity, you seem to have it.

International hall of famer Derek "the Wind" Robins. Such a cool nickname, for years I thought it was 'cause he threw faster than the wind, or was the master of the wind, etc.

I was devastated to find out.....it's just 'cause he farts a lot.

Having shared tents with him this was an upsetting revelation...

I won't be able to give the story it's proper due - but in New Zealand they have a tradition at their National Championship tournament where they throw a bonfire party and everyone in attendance must have a nickname bestowed upon them the first time they attend. They have shirts and everything from years past. Koling got a nickname this year but I can't remember what it is.

The ringleader (of disc golf and of fun) is James "Jaguar" Smithells. He even signs his emails like that. Heaps of fun, those Kiwis. I'm going back one day...
