2017 Idlewild Open | Final Round, Back 9 | Conrad, Perkins, McBeth, Cole

[@Jamminn555]

Yet another outstanding video from Jomez with Jeremy, Paul and this time adding James Conrad as well, who were all excellent. The coverage, camera work, titles and editing - all fantastic from Jomez Productions, as per usual. Thanks for a truly great final round video from Idlewild.

[@mikeh7917]

This course is where I go when I get to thinking that I am getting good at disc golf...brings ya back to Earth REAL QUICKLY.

[@surge3518]

I loved watching this course played. You can get punished by not hitting your line or getting a bad kick, but can make up for it by executing a second shot. My favorite part about playing disc golf is the ability to get creative when in trouble. To me hitting your line on a flick roller out of the woods or some other crazy shot you don't typically practice and knocking down the putt is more satisfying than a birdie most the time.

[@guitarino1]

I agree CB. Fred and I thought of playing "smart" when we designed this course. Byron Nelson used to say scrambling and saving par was often more satisfying than birdying.

[@samlewarchick]

Tough course for the golfers but also for the Jomez crew to film. Well done to all parties involved.

[@joshalsip8552]

Burlington, KY, not Lexington. This is in the Cincinnati Metro Area in case you're ever in the area and want to play this course. I followed Uli, Jerm, and James on Thursday's round, and those dudes were having fun despite getting a little eaten up by Idlewild. I'd love to see some more big events at this course.

[@MrFshnutz]

Watching in 2021. Awesome to see Conrad win his first tournament! After his incredible win at Worlds this year, it’s funny to go back and realize he hadn’t won a pro event until 2017.

[@ClashRoyaleWithBMac09]

Was at idlewild Saturday. What an amazing showing from these guys, great job as always jomez! Even though I was there live, there's still something about a jomez production that gives it that extra showing. Watching you guys run all over the place to get this coverage standing in the heat carrying cameras. Keep it up guys! Your work is much appreciated.

[@petercram9691]

Just the best. No other team makes better quality material. Between the video itself and the commentary there is no better.

[@contextiscool7308]

What a game.. seeing these pros hit OB so often is a testament to the difficulty of Idlewild. Makes for some entertaining footage for sure. Thanks Jomez for the great coverage and thank you Big Jerm for making me laugh so much. You have some great moments commentating throughout. And I think Paul U. makes a great sidekick. It's fun to hear both of your thoughts.

[@tinker8697]

So glad to see Conrad win, his style inspires me a lot!

[@briancoben7566]

Wow what a conclusion to such a demanding course! Good coverage of the tournament as always, and congratulations to the winner.

[@jthoul01]

It's great to be able to see your favorite players play one of your favorite courses! Thanks to Jomez and Steve Dodge for making it possible!

[@unwrinkling]

hey Jerm your commentary is really great. i first watched you in videos years ago where you lost your temper a lot and it was off putting. but you seem to have matured and it shows when you get filmed, and growth like that deserves respect. also, the positive way you talk about your competitors and the insights you have on the course and shot selection are really good. jomez yall are great. lastly, i want to win a disc.

[@jeremykoling1447]

Andrew Choate thanks for the comment!

[@wcstrawberryfields8011]

Commentating on a comment on his commentationality, BJ da OG. Disc Meh!

[@mtp9214]

Seriously?

[@philman45227]

This is one of my home courses and my 2nd favorite in the area. This course has shaped many disc golfers games and is designed by a hall of famer. You play here and then go play anywhere else in the country and the fairways look super huge. I had the privelage of live scoring a few of the top cards this weekend and it was a huge pleasure watch the top players in the world play it. Big Jerm, Erik Oakley, Dustin Keegan, Peter McBride, Drew Gibson, Zach Melton, Greg Barsby, Paul McBeth, Dutch Napier were all super good guys and very accessbile. I really hope you guys all make it back here next year. The local crew was super stoked to have you here. Big thanks again to Jomez for capturing the beauty that is Idlewild. Expertly filmed guys. I know it's a tough track to maneuver.

[@discpl4yer]

Great coverage on a true destination course in Burlington, KY. Love the new baskets.

[@marckaplan9]

Jerm and Paul always provide superb commentary and Jomez just keeps delivering great coverage and graphics. It is a real pleasure to watch these videos. It is so awesome to see James win this.

[@David_Brewster]

Gotta comment for that contest!!! Also, great commentary Big Jerm and congrats on the incredible win Conrad!

[@joshuakeeling9002]

Awesome finish to the tournament! And man, what a beautiful course! Happy to see James take the title

[@TopDeckProductionsStream]

Can someone tell Big Jerm that Idlewild is in Burlington, KY, and not Lexington? About an 80 mile difference.

[@VNOyovino]

Another tournament covered fantastically by Jomez! Jerm's commentary is always entertaining. Winning a disc would be awesome!!

[@michaelgiurini4952]

I wanted to post this on the round 2 video, but I actually really liked Idlewild, this may have been my favorite course to watch all year. A lot of people talk about how disc golf scores are too low compared to ball golf, and I think that if the sport decides to go in that direction this course is a blueprint for that. Putting will always be easier in disc golf, so instead of trying to make putting harder like DD is with the marksmen we should make driving harder with course design. Force players to hit tight gaps or create risk-reward holes like 16 where players can use the distance they have or risk going OB.

[@andyschannel88]

Not all courses have par set correctly. Par should be average based. A lot of these courses just get created and people put crazy par numbers on them without putting much thought into it. Disc golf has never been organized enough to really standardize the par requirements but I think its heading in that direction and that's great.

[@coreyjansen9033]

Michael Giurini Sad thing is, as a local we always play this course as all par 3's except 16 as a par 4. We all continuously beat ourselves up due to the scores we obtain. After finally seeing the pros tackle the course it's a huge ego boost. Knowing I've got 2's on 12 and usually always 3 that hole and not a single pro was capable of doing it all weekend makes a rec player feel amazing.

[@JessCat606]

Agreed, Michael. Accuracy is just as big a part of the game as driving distance; it's nice to see tournaments that feature both. Tourneys like the Utah Open were all about big distance and dropping bombs on the basket from 400 feet away; the Idlewild Open was all about nailing the lines with control and being deadly accurate. Ya gotta have both to be a well rounded golfer!

[@JessCat606]

Andrew, the TDs changed the pars a bit on this (new) layout; based on the results, I'd expect one or two holes to have their pars changed next year. I know they were taking the pros distance off the tee into account, and wanted to make even a 1000-rated round...and they got it almost perfect, I think; according to PDGA.com, in round three a par 66 was 1003-rated.

[@jaredh4638]

That's because hole 12 in this tournament is the typical hole 10. It's a throw-in 2 for any player, and a 3 is a fantastic score for that hole.

[@texican6969]

I was able to play this course on my honeymoon and it is incredible! Watching this video brought back the memories + the feels. Awesome work by Jomez - Keeps getting better and better!

[@slg6218]

Play here a few times a year and have seen some really good players get humbled by Idlewild. That said, I saw some shots this weekend that I thought were impossible. These pro players can pull off some amazing feats. Idlewild is a course where it's more important to know where not to throw it. If the pros play it again I think you will see much lower scores. They just aren't used to every hole having such a high risk/reward factor.

[@DonnieRockett]

I agree. I watch damn near every tourney vid on the net, and because of the level of difficulty, no lead was really safe going into round 3. To win, you really had to keep your head in the game.

[@TheBoys0021]

Hey guys! Followed you guys around around this killer course all weekend and wouldn't mind getting some plastic by chance! to say it was awesome to watch all of you throw on this local course would be an understatement! Congrats James on the win!

[@laurihelminen6464]

My favourite KZbin channel is jomez productions👊👊👊🇫🇮🇫🇮

[@JomezPro]

Hey Lauri, you are one of the disc winners! Shoot us an email to [e-mail]!

[@bushhunter4066]

Best round, video and commentary of the year! Big Jerm is fantastic as always and I really want to hear more from Conrad. Fighting down Mcbeast at his best....I have no words!

[@timkelly6463]

Did Snappy's drive on 13 ricochet and hit a spectator in the face? watch his tee shot at 12:08. And yes, I would like to win a disc. I'm an upper beginner and I keep losing my favorite discs out at my local elementary school course (shrub jungle near the basket). And Jerm, I need you to win one again. Are you just waiting to defend your USDGC?

[@noahsmith6208]

Tim Kelly yeah it hit a local golfer in the face

[@mr19simple81me]

Tim Kelly I was there in the gallery, that dude got hit hard in the face

[@CKofAZ]

I saw that, he was walking away holding his nose looking like he was in pain.

[@solja4jch30]

I enjoy watching, always. Thanks guys

[@nicktaylor5314]

Jomez is the best of the best in terms of videography but I can't watch it anymore because I always know who wins because they always have the winner commentate the final round so what's the point?

[@joestark2935]

I never realized that, maybe it would be better if they didn't have the winner doing the broadcast but after the telecast they can do segment with them.

[@nicktaylor5314]

Joe Stark I totally agree

[@davidalexander7197]

Agreed - also I love the stats they were giving but saying there was only 1 birdie on a hole and giving the name, then seeing Paul line up the birdie putt and knowing he was going to miss bothered me as well.

[@RoastedHVAC]

I tend to agree... It is a bit of an annoyance

[@LennartDoering]

I also noticed this and it's super frustrating especially in those tight battles :-(

[@mihkellepist2167]

Great commentary & amazing course to play. Congratulations James!

[@siboleja]

It's not Lexington...

[@collinlehrian5853]

Definitely the hardest track around. It is comforting seeing the best in the world hit every tree on the course just like me.

[@danhyzer8368]

12:05 - Looks like James "Snappy" Cole's drive beams someone right in the face. I had to slow it down a few times but you can see the guy walk away holding his face with concerned onlookers. Ouch! Edit: Oooo, shiny giveaway discs. :)

[@77nizzova53]

Lucius Varanus I was going to comment on this too!!!!!

[@nickarmstrong5126]

These videos are keeping me "sane" while I'm recovering from my foot surgery. It's been 2 months and I'm itching to get back out there. I've learned a lot from watching the pros play. Good luck out there Big-Rad!

[@haunfeld]

Course seems pretty easy, back 9 is too wide open for my taste.

[@alightened]

hello sarcasm, how i've missed you

[@stephenmarks2835]

That's what she said

[@lrgpapi]

Lol right. Im sure you could do better

[@ClutchthaWeen]

He got jokes.

[@jazzbjorn89]

Thanks Jomez pro for doing this! Awesome to watch, especially these really difficult courses.

[@guitarino1]

Please consider calling Idlewild challenging, instead of difficult? Fred and I wanted Idlewild to be "fun and challenging", not "difficult and a burden" to play.

[@8stringedbandit]

James' pic from the scorecard looks like he's thinking "wait, we have how much bread and fish for all these people?"

[@coreyjansen9033]

Love the videos, and your production quality. It truly is the next best thing to being there watching. As a local, I have to say you truly captured the beauty and the beast of this course. Although Shame shame on jerm for saying Lexington, KY. We have a big rivalry with Lexington on who has the better courses. This is in Burlington, KY, right by the Cincinnati airport. If anyone wants to come out. We have a Facebook page called The Cincy Disc golfers. Hop on there and any number of us gladly show disc golfers around to some of the most beautiful and fun courses in the nation.

[@dopestarinc69]

12:13 looks like someone got hit in the face with a disc. Yikes!!

[@lostprophetx]

I got to go up and play this course today. Let me tell you, it has to be one of the most difficult(if not difficult courses) in the nation, but you just love it because it's so beautiful

[@cyrus12345]

I mean an opportunity to win a disc? Uh yeah. I'm in

[@philcronin9169]

Another great production. Fun commentary and an exciting finale. Congrats James.

[@tylerlafavor4842]

Can Jeremy Koling commentary my life?

[@jeremykoling1447]

Tyler LaFavor, disc golf fan and KZbin commenter makes quality comments. Need more info to continue

[@lukeburroughs916]

Mr. James Conrad, I would like to take 2 strokes off my disc golf game

[@paulg1134]

Is he following through?

[@Mark-xt5qr]

Make sure you're squaring your shoulders

[@seangrew9344]

Awesome coverage as usual Jomez. Hell of a battle between Conrad and Mcbeast. Congratulations James "Jesus" Conrad.

[@freedom9291115]

Thanks for doing the work you do to give us great coverage and commentary on every tournament.

[@Bigmaczack9]

Thank you Jomez Productions for bringing us the best coverage of disc golf that we could possibly ask for! Y'all always do an incredible job and make it such a pleasure for us viewers! Thanks again guys, keep it up!

[@bobbyshaw2822]

Nice to see the players do there own commentating. Because you can learn from them.

[@CIoudRunn3r]

Congrats to James on that one, nice to see him get redemption after getting close coming from the chase card on one of these tourney's awhile back. Really is cool to see how wooded courses like this completely change how the pros look at a hole. Saw so many more layups and safe shots this week than usual.

[@Wallymac501]

Congrats on the win, James Conrad! That looks like a killer course..

[@pbfrk]

Loving the Big Jerm commentary and Jomez Productions always bringing it

[@theeap]

Great job, Jomez and the whole crew! Tough course to film, but still really fun to watch. Looking forward to the next one

[@barrettlang]

That was the best DG tournament coverage that I have seen. Great photography and commentary to boot. Would love to be hooked up with a signed disc.

[@tubacious]

Excellent coverage Jomez. Tight last round. Very entertaining

[@pdderek]

SPECTACULAR as always

[@michaellamont6610]

Nice work, James! Thanks for the great coverage and commentary, Jomez team!

[@aaasbakk]

Awesome coverage of a fantastic course!

[@86soccerking]

Great footage by the Jomez team!

[@CKofAZ]

Great coverage guys, it keeps getting better and better!

[@vLarsn]

Brutal course! But very enjoyable to watch. The suspense was killing me this whole final round. Congrats James Conrad. I just started playing disc golf about 2-3 months ago and I am completely hooked. I would imagine I would get pretty frustrated playing this course :)

[@Daggles-]

It's nice to have James in on the commentary, I like listening to his perspective while he's battling Paul for the win. Great production as always!

[@heikkirautio8361]

Great quality video again, as always. Thanks guys!

[@Voodoo_raccoon_grower]

Our family loves any variation of BIG commentary! We appreciate how much Big Jerm is genuinely impressed by the competitors in his field. It's so awesome to be able to watch our favorite pros and cheer them on from home. Thank you Jomez Productions!

[@wade31786]

I was out there Saturday and had a blast. Thanks to all the players who signed my Idlewild disc and Jomez for the awesome coverage. Congrats to James Conrad for a hard earned victory!!

[@ryangrabinski6780]

Thoroughly enjoy watching all of Jomez Productions videos. As a growing fan of disc golf, being able to see the course from the drone footage and see the path of the disc is incredibly helpful. Keep putting Big Jerm on the mic for the great commentary. Congrats to James on his first win!! Thanks for the great video and keep up the great work Jomez!

[@brucideous]

Killer course and awesome coverage!!!

[@bschulte08]

Jomez Pro is by far the best when it come to Disc Golf coverage! Congrats to James Conrad on the first pro tour win this year!

[@jeffkuhns8083]

Great tournament, nice commentary guys, looking forward to playing that track !

[@Slapshotace99]

Great coverage of what seems like a difficult course to shoot always grow the sport

[@zzyrb]

Great stuff as always! Something about the course and the BigUli team in the booth made this the best event so far. Keep this stuff coming!

[@shmizerdude]

Great job with the play by play, as usual.

[@jakethemince]

Great course. Great tourney. Great coverage.

[@chrisfelts5632]

Great work Jomez! And congratulations Conrad! I was at this tournament. My first pro tour disc golf tourney to watch. Great experience. Can't wait to go back to another one.

[@ethanbabor2833]

Fantastic performance by James here. I'm always amazed at how well all of these guys keep their composure at the end of their rounds. It seems impossible to keep it when you have Paul McBeth chasing you down trying to take your first pro tour win and having the entire tournament come down to the final hole, but James did it perfectly here. Excellent job James.

[@charliesawyer8327]

Any of those discs would be a blast to have. Thanks for thinking of doing that for us. Congrats C-rad.

[@K_man1000]

Great coverage of my local course here in Boone County., KY. Idlewild is no joke and aggravates is locals on a daily basis. Thanks Jomez, big Jerm, and congrats to James Conrad on a hard fought win.

[@billyjackotoole7909]

James Conrad has quickly become one of my favorite pros. So cool and collected with a super distinct throwing style, and he mashes out there. Team Innova has some keepers out there.

[@ryanziegler7636]

Fantastic production quality and commentary! It was a pleasure to see Nate Perkins and James Conrad on film, great players with a unique approach to their game.

[@davisdg3685]

Great job everyone out there! Love all the footage and commentary is always on point! Keep up the great work you guys do day in and day out!! Can't wait to see what's next to come! That was so awesome on the Flight tracker when Paul aced the DGPT basket on the sign under the real basket parking it for birdie!

[@katelyncarveth8151]

James Conrad has become one of my favorite players to watch. So glad to see him take his first pro tour victory! Much deserved.

[@jamesbrown6987]

I think after watching this video I have officially seen all the videos on the JomezPro KZbin channel. Good stuff guys. This is the first channel I ever watched tournament coverage on

[@Levvoo59]

The Jomez coverage always makes my day! Congrats to Conrad!

[@matthewq2365]

Watched this live on SBTV. Cheered for Conrad the whole time in chat. Came here for the commentary. Thanks Jomez team for the work! And a giveaway for signed disk from these awesome pro's to boot, Woot! Congrats Conrad! Well won battle!

[@stevenjudd2317]

Such a great event with great people, great golfers, great videography, and great commentators! Congrats James on your huge win!

[@c0nvers3kid]

I always like watching James Conrad. Unconventional style with flawless results. It's about time he won one. Congratulations

[@quintonpataska5166]

Wow what an awesome win! Big CONGRATS to James! And I just want to say what fun to watch all these Guys play! I love keeping up with the action through Jomez Productions! Some of the best most enjoyable footage to get your hands on! Thank you for all you guys do to get this to all of us Disc Golf Fans! ❤️🤙🏻🙏🏻

[@Gaecci]

Finally a course where resaults are more golf-like! Thank you Jomez and all the commentators for bringing this coverage, can't wait for another one.

[@alishaschafer3289]

That teebird sure is a beaut! And what wonderful golf on a beautiful course! Thank you Jomez for the best disc golf coverage!

[@YoSpier]

Absolutely incredible shooting by James. So nice to see lower scores win the tournament. Also having Paul chasing you from behind, wow that must be nerve-racking. Some incredible shots this last round

[@donalexander3181]

I like seeing these players playing the woods instead of great big open shots. Big Jerm is the best Disc golf commentator there is. (does that help me win?)

[@bigskyneal784]

What an amazing tournament on a very challenging course. I could almost see Idlewild become the Augusta of disc golf with some of those signature greens and bridges. Very photogenic!

[@kellytaylor7909]

Excellent coverage as always. Thank you for everything you do Jomez Productions - my 4 and 1 year olds love, LOVE watching disc golf with me every single day. Our family has really gotten into the sport because of your guys' hard-work. Congrats to Conrad on the spectacular, well-deserved win!

[@totalchaostone2968]

Just started watching disc golf on KZbin but I'm super happy that there is such quality coverage. I hope to be featured on it one day too

[@Faustus]

Beautiful course and what a finish. Great as always thanks guys!

[@andrewtyre9949]

Great videography! Played the course today after the tournament. Impressive how you were able to cover all the more difficult angles to give viewers the best show.

[@emusam]

As a fellow Virginian, I am so stoked to see Conrad on the lead card in the final round. Also, his commentary is much improved this time around. Having the three guys worked really well here. Such great coverage, Jomez!

[@shaneray4881]

Thanks for the excellent coverage, as always! Can't wait for the next vids.

[@scottwalsh3240]

I love the commentary and watching the card. DGPT and Jones have introduced me to new courses and provided us more opportunities to see a wider degree of awesome golfers. Thank you for promoting the spirit of the disc / game!!!

[@davidallen4410]

Great competition, great coverage by Jomez Productions again. Thanks to the pro commentators for their time and insight as well.
