Hole 1 just seems like it had one too many things going on. Drop the tee pad to an open, flat area then you have players more tempted to unleash into the mando. Take out the mando and people will risk the OB to get a huge shot off the elevated tee. Or take out the OB past the mando and players will be more tempted to get creative with power or a roller maybe. All 3 of them just seemed to bottle people into taking an easy par and move on.
Good thing that Seppo is trying something else for his putts. Like Nate and Simon Said, Being Able to change your game when you're that good is A mark of a true Champion. He was already a Threat, now he'll be even more!
It's good to experiment, but I don't know why anyone would choose to straddle putt from range if they don't have something in the way. Paul and Ricky make long putts look so much easier with their stagger putt. Obviously it's their skill, but they clearly get lots of power from their legs in a controlled fashion, which is a big part of what makes their spinny push putts so smooth. Even the best pure straddle putters (Barsby, Niko, etc.) have more wobble in their putts, which can't help. Plus when they add power with their jump putt, it just looks less controlled. If you're newer and not seriously considering a stagger putt, ask yourself why you're handicapping yourself for longer putts unnecessarily. Unless you have a pure spin putt, a stagger putt seems like a no brainer to start. Obviously everyone should do something they are comfortable with, but I think you get an advantage on long putts with the stagger and no disadvantage from closer. A stagger putt is for going around obstacles and still needs to be practiced, but I think this is worth it to get more consistency on 40 ft+ putts.
So excited for this! I was wondering were the EDGC coverage was! SexyLizard commentary? Check. Awesome course? Check. Bomber card? Discount double check!
Can anyone explain to me what the putting rule is about the putt at 16:48? I''m not sure why he's allowed to step in front of his lie, and am hoping for some clarification on that. Does it change in regards to your location to the putting circle? Thanks!
Can Simon and the kids come back to the much bigger, more lucrative American market for worlds and the USDGC, or are they all your prisoners now? Is the period of disunity over yet, or are we going to do this again next year? FTR, I loved the Euro tour in the past, but whatever threw it off this year cannot be repeated.
If you want a European player to win, just make sure you only want Europeans to compete. Several of the US players have always wondered why we allow Europeans to compete in the United States Championship, but US players aren't allowed to compete in the European Championship. I'm sure there will be alot of negative feelings based on this comment, but unless you have a good explanation, just skip it.
Why would your comment raise negative feelings? It is a valid question. There are several US championships where only Americans are allowed, for example athletics. There are also tens or hundreds of European Championship events where only European countries participate. That is why it is called European Championship. ' I think this is a wrong place to wonder why Europeans are allowed to participate in USDGC. You should ask from that PDGA or people who organizes USDGC. I don't think you get an answer to your wondering from UA-cam. My proposal is to ask from PDGA. Europeans would definitely understand if they were not allowed to participate, because it is US championship. Or maybe they want to keep it similar to US masters in golf where all the best are present.
I wish we could see more of Seppo on the U.S. courses. Dude has mad game.
@H K ...and now he has learnt some serious putting during the winter. Expect to see him top10 in many competitions 2019
I just bought my first Sexton Firebird and i absolutely love it and glad I can help support Nate

Agreed. The rest of the course seemed great though.
That elevated tee box looked pretty dangerous too. Step off the front and screw up a ankle.
I think if it were me on that first hole, I'd put the disc just under the banner and park it under the basket or ace it.
Thanx SpinTV, Nate and Simon!👍
Nate "Which Fin is that" Sexton. Love it!

Wasn’t expecting coverage of this
So excited for this! I was wondering were the EDGC coverage was! SexyLizard commentary? Check. Awesome course? Check. Bomber card? Discount double check!
Theres nothing wrong with the card...
No joke. Killer card!
Ya for sure. Sexy Lizard is solid commentary. Know you're in for a good one right away.
I love watching europeans putt since the spin putt is so prevalent. It looks amazing.
Wow i didnt know my county has a disc golf course haha
But is it a real course?
Lizotte is awesome. Great englishskills to.
Thanks Spin!
Thanks for coverage.
You know I wounder why we are not seeing the same with USA and the players from the States they represent in a USA Disc Golf Championships?
I'm just glad Seppo has realized having both elbows over your wrists is not he best putt. He only did that like what, 4-5 years?
What song is playing while they discuss the up coming hole. It's like some euro trance but it's a banger.
I like discs lol 🏈
Any other rounds???
Nice
34 C = 93 F

Thanks!
bosoxdanc yes if you’re outside of the circle 1, 10m, you can jump ahead of where the disc was lying
Never seen so many beech trees in my life. Someone needs to go in there and fell all those things replacing them with oaks and maples.
btw. they need to make camera with dual eyes! Like humans, to be able to see the grades better! Just look with 1 eye and youl understand i hope!
What did Simon throw on hole 2? Almost looked like a midrange with a bead but Discmania doesn't have that.
FD3
Yeah, looks like the Ana stamped FD3.
Are they gonna post rd 1 and 2?
there is a video on facebook... hole 15-18, round 2 - 3

I aced hole 5
22:30 "couldn't see it Finish" HA I get it. Cause he's from Finland.
Kus on Silver Latt?
Look, anything above 90 is hot.
But come to Oklahoma. Where we play in 100+ temps with humidity sitting at a lovely ball soup level.
It doesn't seem right to hear that music, and it not be followed up by Jamie Thomas' voice.
The music is really odd for me. Feels like a rave or something. lol
I think if it were me on that first hole, I'd put the disc just under the banner and park it under the basket or ace it.
oh no not finland
toni korhola where u at?

I'm sure there are others out there, but only concerned about disc golf. Your point is good one. Thanks.
That's the most plausible reason I've heard of and it does indeed make sense. Thanks Krpi.
We have european open too.. and yeah thats open for all 😀 we have finnish championchip and finnish open etc. Thats just how it is. Peace
makes sense. thanks
Simon thinks Nate has a 480 foot sidearm lol.
The hole does look like it is downhill, so possibly...
first
