PDGA NT: 2021 Texas State Disc Golf Championship Mar 26-28

[TheOtherBill]

80 degrees expected high today but two different rounds of thunderstorms expected tomorrow. Should be coming both mid-morning and likely after they are finished up for the day.
Sunday is gonna be mud-ee!

Seems like Ezra A is feeling the pressure of the spotlight.

Seems like Ezra A is feeling the pressure of the spotlight.

After watching his first round at Belton it seems like he doesn't quite have the mental game to stay consistent. Not sure if the new contract and added media attention have contributed or not. From his demeanor, it doesn't seem like it would but who knows.

He also doesn't strike me as a player with very much touch. Seems like he prefers to rip discs at max speed, so I'm not surprised he'd struggle on a wooded course like Dogwood. Not sure what his finishes were like last year on the more wooded courses

I think Terry was trying to say "suck your discs in" on hole 1. . but thats not what he said

 

[brutalbrutus]

WOW... what a birdie by Paul on 2


Just barely stays inbounds and then cans a 70fter for the 2

 

[hanger129]

Ricky drains a 60 foot putt on hole 1. Paul follows it up with a 70 footer on hole 2. If they can keep that kind of play up, we're in for a treat this weekend!

And Ricky on one..to bad the cameras will not stay on this card

Any insight on what's impacting the streaming quality? I don't think it's my local network. I initially thought it was the cameras having the stream over a mobile network (probably over-simplifying that), but even the hole fly over just now was a little choppy and that should be pre-recorded, right?

Maybe JVDs signal at home is lagging today? Is it raining in wisconsin?

[brutalbrutus]

Spring just posted in the comments that they are working on the stream issues. SO it doesn;t sound like its a signal problem at the course.

 

[brutalbrutus]

Eagle just threw a shot 5ft into a tree.

 

[brutalbrutus]

They reset the stream during the last ad break and it seems a lot better so far.

 

[hanger129]

Ricky bouncing back from that double bogey, but Paul able to keep pace with that birdie from C2. Let's gooooo

Only con to these types of courses is for galleries. Thick woods is not great for large amounts of people to watch these guys live.

I haven't watched yet, but I would guess the thick woods will also be a detriment to video coverage?

(This doesn't mean I want them to cut the trees down, just pointing out the con)

LOL he's a big arm and has only been playing for what, 2 years?
He blew up on social because he's a good dude and has big muscles. We shouldn't expect him to really be competitive based on the histories of the players who are currently competitive.

 

[txmxer]

Niko got robbed on that bogey

 

[moorent]

I'm a local and can assure you that the other courses being played are nowhere near as difficult as dogwood.

That said, I do wish they played some combination of the other Lindsey Park courses for one of their rounds. They offer some shots that you dont get to throw on dogwood
