I don’t think I’ve ever been as invested in a single player doing well as I am for Simon this weekend. Really want him to get that podium finish to qualify-esp after what went down last weekend. Cmon Simon 🍺 🍺
And the band/basket! I couldn't help it but I laughed so hard at his frustration after his birdie putt on 16. Probably because I related to his round so much just getting the par after a birdie band hit.
Simon and Calvin are two players that should be mic’d up for every single round they play. Their self deprecating talk to themselves is the most entertaining thing disc golf has to offer, can’t get enough of it.
@@kingdavey90 yeah, Ben talks down on himself and gets mad at himself but it’s not in the same way. Simon and Calvin make it funny, Ben just seems mad.
He's 4th in fairway hits in the PDGA and for how far he throws, that is impressive. He needs to bring his putting up a notch(ranked 38th) and he should win some tournaments.
Yeah he was throwing an ESP reaper and a TI undertaker. They must’ve confused the discs. I think he’s throwing the reaper instead of the raptor rn. He said there’s no fairway in discrafts line up that’s stable enough for him.
Funny contrast between this and gatekeeper media round. The other group had good flow and all shot good rounds whereas this group was mainly struggling
Cool invention proposal: put a little TV at each tee box on the blind holes with live video of action near the green. Would be super helpful to see the reactions off trees, rocks, and roots.
Ugh. That was a tough watch. This day in age, you'd think there'd be a way to improve slick teepads besides putting down a towel. So many par 3's and short 4's that getting off the tee well is critical.
Definitely true--especially now that we see some of these bigger names getting PAID, it would just be crazy if someone tore up their knee or something. It always surprises me how so many of these pros wear Vans, regular sneakers etc vs. some other type of shoe/boot.
One thing that would help the commentary is noting when different players played and when the hot scores came in. Was it because of a late rain vs. early dry conditions? Did things clear up later? Are some dealing with the terrible teapad conditions better than others? How? Etc?
Could people please upvote the following to protect our beloved pros from getting twisted/sprained ankles & bad tee shots? Please consider using rock climbing approach shoes for wet & slippery teepads. There are certain kinds of rubber specifically made for sticking on the most slippery surfaces. Rock climbing and disc golfing are my two top hobbies, and discovering that I could use approach shoes for disc golf was a big game changer. Vibram makes a certain rubber called "Idro-Grip" which was made specifically for creating grip when crossing creeks (stepping on wet river rock). It's the bees knees. Do yourselves a favor and start using these. Hope this helps some folks!
It would be so easy and cheap to make those tee pads more grippy. I bet if you just etched the concrete with some acid or painted over them with deck paint that's had the sand in it for grip.
Them tee pads look like they are covered in Crisco with an oil spil! For being the end of the line where everyone is there to do battle you would think they would of come up with a solution or had them replaced this season!
@@kyleweir689 Remove the existing tee pad and replace with a new tee pad. Not exactly complex, should've been done well before the tournament. It's something we keep on seeing in coverage lately though. Will have to be given proper attention soon. We're here to watch pro's throw, not watch them watch their feet. There are many people out there who's job is laying down surfaces fit for purpose. Not difficult.
been a while since we saw a round as depressing as this on coverage. commentators did well with what they got, but the Pro Tour has to improve the teepads situation for next season
I don’t want to hurt Jomezpro (it’s not their fault) by not watching, but I also really don’t want to watch and support this kind of disc golf-where players’ health are being put at risk. Not sure if I’ll watch further rounds or skip 😔😢
I don’t think I’ve ever been as invested in a single player doing well as I am for Simon this weekend. Really want him to get that podium finish to qualify-esp after what went down last weekend. Cmon Simon 🍺 🍺
Yeah, we need simon with the elite group. He deserves it, and had a rough day. I hope he gets there in day 2 and 3. Maybe we'll see him again day 4
Especially with the profile they did on him for the F9 🥲. Come on disc dad!
Boom! Feel the same!
Same!
These are the types of story lines in our sport that make it special and we're starting to expose them to the fans thanks to people like jomez
I felt bad laughing at Ben's outbursts but they were so relatable and frustrating you can't help but laugh
@@MegaLaban12345 for sure, just feels awful at the time.
We've all been there, and it feels like a downward spiral, the more trees you hit the more trees you're gonna hit.
Ben literally hitting a tree on every hole. Brutal and relatable.
And the band/basket! I couldn't help it but I laughed so hard at his frustration after his birdie putt on 16. Probably because I related to his round so much just getting the par after a birdie band hit.
Yeah... Tell me about it
Who has been here before...at least once a month... raise your hand :/
He sounds like me on my last round. Wonder if he'll retire like I did to
@@wireycoyote3544 crybaby coyote is back!
When Ben started hitting the band on 16…. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣….. im dead…. Lmfao
"Sit... I don't want to putt" -Ben Callaway
Ben is my spirit disc golfer
Love seeing Simon back on the card.

@@kingdavey90 yeah, Ben talks down on himself and gets mad at himself but it’s not in the same way. Simon and Calvin make it funny, Ben just seems mad.
"YOU SUCK... sorry..." You literally can't not love simon
Cmon Simon! We’re all rootin for you
Jerm and Uli’s laughter is wayyyy too contagious
If you've never had a tree day like Ben, you haven't really played disc golf properly
21:21 "I don't wanna putt" That round when you just can't seem to get in the circle and you've used up all your luck. Definitely been there.
"I believe you would get your @$$ kicked for saying something like that." Nice profile pic 🤣🤣🤣
Happens to the best of us 🤙
I don't think God likes his ridiculous hair.
If you haven’t seen a tree day like that you live in Utah.
Ben and Simon were literally inches from very amazing rounds.
Ben's reaction of 16's putt is the best.
Drew is officially mr. clean. his drives are so satisfying.
Watching him throw a buzzz is just beautiful every time
And he can actually putt now. He's gonna be scary for a while.
He's 4th in fairway hits in the PDGA and for how far he throws, that is impressive. He needs to bring his putting up a notch(ranked 38th) and he should win some tournaments.
Couldn’t have said it better
Matty O is on a tear, can't wait to see more from him
Paul Ulibarri is the my favorite commentary of all time. Everytime!!
And Big Jerm adds the Ying to the yang ☯️
Man I’d love to see Uli win this tournament 🙌🏼🙌🏼
They need to get Ben on more feature cards, that man is hilarious
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more relatable moment then Simons reaction to his putt on 18.
This was one of the funniest rounds ever!!😂
It was certainly entertaining commentary. Suddenly these pros are human!? Who would have guessed
Does Ben want to be relatable to all of us? No.
Are we glad he is? Yes. Sometimes it do be like that.
Two words: mull, let.
And the mullet matches his shirt...keep on keeping on.
LOLOL 😆 🤣 😂 when he said "po little tink tink" at the end!!! That was one of my favorite parts of the round.
That was great coverage, I’m sorry some of the pro’s had a tough round, they played well, with them trees getting in the way! Thank you all!
Ben and Simon fighting through every single tree this course has and still ending up -2 is really commendable
Corey Ellis keeps getting so close to lead card. I can’t wait to see this guy on Jomez
Callaway is hilarious! What a champ!
Realest card I've ever seen. LOVE to see the emotion!!! Great round y'all!
Best commentary yet... a lot of funny things from the players... enjoyed the show
So nice to see simon on the card!
Next practice round: loser gets tased!
Two of the best comedians on the course lmaooo
Y'all's commentary so far so dern good
Just finished the front 9 and this popped up! Made my morning.
I'm so glad they had mics. So funny! :)
24:37 I watched this at least 10 times and it resonated harder each time.
Woohoo get to see Matty O on the next round!!
What a fantastic card! Beating of the bands for Callaway!
Let's go Simon, we are ALL pulling for ya!
Hole 10: simon: “slip birdie trend”.
Seems so true.
Cool looking course man - putting this on my bucket list !!!
That baby reaction was really funny. "Um, I'm like, a baby, you know..."
Uli baby commentary is award winning commentary.
ROTFLMAO with you Jerm and Uli. Ben caught us off guard with that attack of the top band .🤣🤣
Uli and Jerm are like middle schoolers giggling at nearly everything
Whoo what a lead card for the second round!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
I watched Ben jokingly hit the band on hole 16 about 10 times
15:10 jerms comment has me crying, i hope someone else understood this too 🤣🤣
That Mutumbo branch on 13 and the comeback from Drew was great
Man I sighed so loud for Simon kicking into a different universe on 11. 5:43
Pretty sure that the "esp reaper" was one of the ti swirl undertaker's from foundation but he did throw the reaper a couple times
Yeah it seemed way flippier than the numbers say
Yeah he was throwing an ESP reaper and a TI undertaker. They must’ve confused the discs. I think he’s throwing the reaper instead of the raptor rn. He said there’s no fairway in discrafts line up that’s stable enough for him.
I love Simon, what a great guy.
More to watch at work...my lucky day
Proud of Uli for waiting 1:18 before BLASTING the tee pads again
23:37 That disc in his hands was in SERIOUS danger of becoming a taco.
Distance drive? Buzzz
Putting? Buzzz
Roller? Buzzz
Forehand Anhyzer flex shot? Buzzz
Steering Wheel? Buzzz
Dinner plate? Buzzz
Buzzz? Buzzz

If you punch a tree, you’re going to lose that battle…unless you yell “Hiyaa!”
24:35 I feel this man right here 🤣
Funny contrast between this and gatekeeper media round. The other group had good flow and all shot good rounds whereas this group was mainly struggling
Better vibes for sure, it makes a difference.
Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like Ben's negativity brought down the card.
you'll have that on these big jobs
I like that Drew only brought two discs to this tournament.
I love Ben! Hahahahahaha hole 16, GOLD
Simon has some work to do, but boy am I happy to see some side arms from him again. Go get them, buddy!
Ben gained a new fan. His personality is just too real
Simon is just the best.
Cool invention proposal: put a little TV at each tee box on the blind holes with live video of action near the green. Would be super helpful to see the reactions off trees, rocks, and roots.
Thank you Jomez. 🙏
29:57 I still can't stop laughing. Love ya Simon!

"You suck!* Hahaa that made me laugh....the trees poor Simon
Drew is that silent ninja you don't want to mess with

Ben Callaway is a mood... Hardcore mood . I feel for him
31:03 Ben makes a classic reference.
Man what a card

Nikko and Ben on a card would be great!
Ben looks like Arnold Shortman from the cartoon "Hey Arnold!"
Ben is all of us after a day in the woods.
It would be so easy and cheap to make those tee pads more grippy. I bet if you just etched the concrete with some acid or painted over them with deck paint that's had the sand in it for grip.
i once knew a guy who said "anything's easy if you don't have to do it yourself."
Really rooting for Simon to pull it together so we can see him back on lead card in round 3
So happy to see ben’s birdie on 14
Brutal. This video makes me never want to play this beautiful, evil course.
If someone brought a teepad size square of astroturf, would that be legal to place on top of the pad to prevent slips?
sure
Ben Callaway, what a legend!
yo would it be a good idea to bring salt on tour for slippery tees? or some kind of back up so players dont break a hip
get in mcbeast mode man. when you dont play i still watch but not as happy, lol.
You do not suck Simon you got this also congrats my friend!
17:40 Scrambi Scrambino scramble-aroo
I feel that comment from Callaway, sit I don’t want to put!
Those tee pads look ridiculously dangerous! 😳
Any fellow Iowans getting Wildcat Bluff vibes from Brewster? Also Ben Callaway rocks. So smooth.
Ben looks like he puts his t shirts on hangers...and that's a compliment.
24:36 has me rolling lol
Sit...I don't wanna put. Classic 😅
Them tee pads look like they are covered in Crisco with an oil spil! For being the end of the line where everyone is there to do battle you would think they would of come up with a solution or had them replaced this season!
You can't really control when it does and doesn't rain. What would your solution be?
@@kyleweir689 Change the tee pads.
@@brandongubish831 replace them? Move the placement? The logistics of either of those options are pretty complex
@@kyleweir689 Remove the existing tee pad and replace with a new tee pad. Not exactly complex, should've been done well before the tournament.
It's something we keep on seeing in coverage lately though. Will have to be given proper attention soon. We're here to watch pro's throw, not watch them watch their feet.
There are many people out there who's job is laying down surfaces fit for purpose. Not difficult.
@@steffanroberts7896 so some courses get preferential treatment and money thrown at them by the pro tour and some don't... Got it
Simon is a national treasure
Really hoping simon can make it to the lead card, because worlds wouldnt be the same without him
So relatable!
Jus saying, I think idio should design their new disc golf shoes with non-slip. Would be the ultimate combo!
been a while since we saw a round as depressing as this on coverage. commentators did well with what they got, but the Pro Tour has to improve the teepads situation for next season
I don’t want to hurt Jomezpro (it’s not their fault) by not watching, but I also really don’t want to watch and support this kind of disc golf-where players’ health are being put at risk.

Matty O next round, Hell yeah!.
