*remove from watch history*

tour courses need to be built to allow for a gallery on either side of the fairway with walking paths. designers can take a look at how ball golf allows their gallery to be able to walk the courses and follow their fav players. some simple investments on the courses themselves can take the sport a long way

I would go to the OTB open every year if I didn’t have to pay.

Yeah um, NO. I will never spend 15,725.25 U.S. dollars to watch disc golf live in Europe. LMAO. IF.....IF....I ever flew overseas to watch disc golf, it would only happen if I can do it all (airfare, lodging, food, transportation, tickets, etc.) under $3K per person. LMAO. I wouldn't spend $15K to watch an NFL, MLB, NBA, The World Cup, or The Olympic games in Europe, so yeah, I would NEVER spend $15K for the DGPT. LMAO. 🤣🤣

The reality here is that disc golf is not a major sport and will likely not be one, I make more at my desk job than the nearly everyone on tour, save for the elite personalities of the sport. Disc and merch sales drive the whole sport at the moment. There is a giant benefit to players like Harry Chace to get on lead card coverage to get there name out... and drive sales.

I wasn't aware people hopped into discord to watch events. Post production > Livestream imo, which could explain the lack of views.

How can one join this Discord channel?

The events aren't $50 per event with a tour card. As someone who has paid for tour cards for some of the top pros by the time you secure the tour card and their events, you spend between $4000 - $8000 just in entries. The tour card just gets you in the events with early registration. You still have to pay $200 - $500 per event entry. If you do not have a tour card and use the "sponsor exemption," that price doubles for the entry.

I think you are mistaken to the tour card expenses, you pay the $1000 to get access to the events and the perks of it on top of the entry fees. Usually when you sign up for it, you select which events you want to play and pay for it all at once. Throughout the season you can drop and add events if needed. Generally if you sign up for everything, the total cost is $6,000+. $1000 for the tour card plus $300-$400 per event.

Hearing you pronounce Micah's name cracks me up. It's not Meekah, bud.

Leah is a free donation every week. Just earned a chance to lose thousands and thousands of dollars again. Her best wouldn’t top 10 on Tour…she’s no rookie lol

Professional disc golf will become a rich man’s hobby venture kinda like pro bass fishing or poker players, usually losing ventures fueled with outside capital or trust funds

Gideon Drake isn’t on tour and hasn’t made a name for himself yet, hence why he was at the qualifier trying to earn a tour card. The qualifier are for guys like Gideon.

Reminder for all disc golfers panicking about the disc golf economy, remember the context of the economy as a whole. Id be happy to talk about it on the show sometime. Hit me up I think it's the most misrepresented thing in disc golf right now.

For that price you should be able to stay at silva or Evelinas house.

There are people who tour all year with tour cards who are barely scraping by. It seems like it is only getting harder. I think a tour card isn't necessarily a good thing to have unless you have a serious sponsorship deal. If you already have a serious sponsorship deal there is a good chance that you are not at the bottom of the rankings. Major sponsors are already cutting good players. The bubble is over and people need to think really hard before they make a decision that could get them into a bad spot. Imagine barely making enough to live in a car/van and having a serious medical emergency thousands of miles from your home. I love the sport, but I love people so much more. Take care of yourselves. Thanks for the hard look at the qualifier series. Cheers! 🍻

Did you watch the US Amateur? I couldnt watch after the first hole. Just not feeling the sport at all right now and havent for months.

you NEED to edit pauses into your talking. the constant unclear robot speech combined with the jumping cuts makes this almost unwatchable

Genius idea, can't wait to see how it plays out.

I was the Media Manager for the PDGA from 2011-2019. Left right before the COVID boom. I really appreciate these kinds of videos. Good stuff, dude. Keep it up.

I see a co-lab opportunity with Overthrow or Robbie C, or another couch on KZbin.

This is an age old question? Lol...

What a take on things......

It's not "15,000 euros for 1 ticket", it's a package as you go on to describe. But of course you're desperate to make it into something that will create clicks... Weak.

Keep in mind that disc golf is huge in Finland. There's far more local interest than usual, and the spectating space is limited, at The Monster especially. If it was $100 for a free-roam ticket, every casual Finnish disc golfer would be buying one, there would be far fewer international tourists as the tickets would run out, and that's far less profitable for the cities of Nokia and Tampere. I don't know the actual numbers and I could be mistaken. But to me it makes sense that the prices need to be a little higher to prioritize the international live audience, which is probably going to be the biggest money maker for sponsors/funders. Obviously no ticket is worth 15k. But I don't blame them for offering it.

Stop Pretending That Disc Golf is a Mainstream Sport....it is Not Corn Hole and Pickle Ball are Mainstream Sports All The PDGA is Doing is Creating Money Pit....

Gannon is a zero time world champion….doubt that he’s one of the world champions you’ll get to meet with this ticket.😂

Babe, wake up, worlds tickets dropped and it'll only be $7500 a piece!!!

PDGA and DGPT will do even worse this year. Prestigious A-tiers do not fill anymore. Greed bankrupted the sport.

The fansale site only allows you to resell your tickets at the original price or below that, so scalping shouldn't luckily be so easy. It even says that in the screenshot you posted.

LOL, that's a joke, right? I guess not...

A friend of a friend was a waiter in a very upscale restaurant. A customer came and started moaning about the high prices. He just said "It only feels that way when you're poor".

Didn't watch a second. The answer is YES.

Charging ppl SO much money to watch disc golf is just ridiculous... Just ensuring only the most dedicated disc golfer will pay .... Did they not watch the Estonia event with thousands of ppl there that's growth almost never see that at tournaments with these dumb prices ....

The DGPT has nothing to do with the prices for Worlds. The event is owned and operated by the PDGA.

It goes both ways on tour. Some events the Vip's do not get any value. Look at DDO. We got 4 metal bleachers which the GA people could set up seats beside and literally nothing else

Is that jbeast?

Idk why anyone ever paid to watch when we grew up watching jomez ( which was always the best view) for free there is no point in ever paying

And this is why, after almost 30yrs playing, I refuse to get a pdga#. I saw the greed on the wall. It gets worse yearly.

It's greedy people putting their ideas in a hat to see who's idea gets the most money grabbing it every chance they get

I sill love my buzzz but i can't find a new one is actually stable.

My buzzz isn't leaving anytime soon.

It’s just a good fundraising move on their part. Some people who have the money to spend can have a cool experience. I don’t see anything wrong with it.

you're missing many big points here, the 15k ticket is whatever, it's for the people that has a lot of money and just want the best there is to get and give back to the sport, and that's just smart to have something like that available (it also sold in an hour or so, and i think i heard they are putting more up to sale, maybe just one more, maybe more). and for the vip tickets, first of all, that was only the early bird sale, they are not "sold out" yet. secondly, they are VIP, don't forget that. there are many more tickets up for grabs that cost way less than vip tickets. and people are able to watch the worlds free, every single day, there will be two pools for the first 4 days playing both courses, tampere course is heavily wooded, which is why there HAS to be tickets sold so ppl can actually see something and stay safe (and players have room to actually play) but nokia will be free as always, with some wooded holes only for ticket holders, same reason for that.

I think the point of the $15,000 ticket is not that it's economical, it's more of a "You're giving a substantial monetary gift/donation to the sport, and so we'll accommodate you very well for doing so". Their target audience/market aren't those of us that are just trying to get by, or maybe those of us who are well off. Their target market is the very top dollar earners who happen to be fans of disc golf. The aim is to give them an avenue for their dollars to go into the sport

You never needed a Buzzz. We've had flat-top DX Rocs forever.

Buzzz FTW 🔥

Totally agree that the Buzzz is still the best midrange in the game. Love your videos. Suggestion... a better comparison of the 3 discs would be the distance from the pin on each drive rather than if you make the putt with them or not.

Try practicing what angel you want your forehand by doing shadow swings with wrist to at least try and get that under control.

I’ve replaced my entire midrange section with 10 Roc3’s of different plastics and wear (bagging 3 at a time, but 10 all in all with backups counted) :-) love that mold and I’m even a Discmaniac, but the Roc3 just covers soooo many flights within that mold… oh yeah… and a Rollo too not to forget ;-)
