2021 Discraft Great Lakes Open | FINALF9 LEAD | Jones, Klein, McMahon, Hammes | Jomez

[@Linky609]

Think James is going to be proven right in the long run, one of the beautiful things about disc golf opposed to ball golf is there isn't really an economic barrier that keeps people from getting into the sport.

[@GregVanGorp]

Just played the Toboggan Course yesterday. If I didn't risk my life climbing the trees to get the discs out of the trees and thorny vines, I would have lost $65 of discs in one round. When I golf, I don't lose equipment other than the occasional ball I found anyway. Losing discs is WAY more frustrating than a golf ball. Granted if you want really nice golf clubs, it'll cost you, but you can get into the sport with a garage sale set that's like $5

[@PuppyButt310]

@@GregVanGorp How much did the tee time cost for disc golf?

[@robshookphoto]

@@GregVanGorp so you're saying that you played a round and spent zero dollars. I could lose a disc every round and it would be cheaper than ball golf.

@@GregVanGorp then stick to ball golf since it’s so cheap and affordable compared to disc golf.

I have been loving all the new stats you all have continued from worlds! As an avid player I’m constantly craving more information about what they’re throwing, how far, distance from the pin, how fast the release is, flight characteristics…etc. Thank you and keep up the great work!

[@gregyahle3341]

Cant speak to how they're taking measurements on some of the stats, but they were definitely off on hole 5. Maybe the elevation was messing with it?

Great feature on Jim Kenner and Discraft, can't wait till Toboggan is a permanent course playable all summer!

[@cannacare4467]

It’ll never be a permanent course….and honestly unless you have spotters you’re losing at least 5 discs a round. I’m good with playing it once a year 😂

[@lawrencedalimonte4420]

Well I am not sure how much maintenence goes into the course grounds when the course isn't in, but now that the teepads are permanently installed it would at least be possible to practice some tee shots at various points in the year.

[@madeofglass012]

Itll never be permanent. It's on Toboggan slopes so no matter what they have to take the baskets out some point before it snows.

Being from SE Michigan and having played toboggan several times I will say these guys are on fire! I felt so good with a +6 that I'm sure I couldn't replicate today. Amazing stuff, these guys are so good! That goes for the players as well as the whole Jomez crew. Thank you for all the hard work getting up and down these hills and capturing every shot perfectly. Just a fantastic tourney!

[@mattswanston6086]

Agreed. Good interview with Mr. Kenner. I am learning so much from this channel. Especially todays coverage. These guys are playing the woods and off fairway lies so well. Thanks Jomez..

What do we need to do to see some more FPO coverage on Jomez? No disrespect to Gatekeeper etc. but they're still one step behind. 🌞 ... and/or get Sarah or Zoe to commentate MPO or FPO; they're both doing amazing in the commentary booth. No matter what, great coverage as always!

Eagle and Kevin.... Flashbacks to last year!

[@blaketaylor7317]

I have noticed a lot of former or even current baseball players starting to play disc golf a lot more and the mechanics for throwing a baseball and throwing a forehand are very close and that’s why us new disc golfers have a natural flick cause we’ve already learned that snap that you have to have to get the spin on the forehand that makes it fly like a bullet. That’s my opinion at least

[@tucker1623]

exactly. I played baseball for 9 years and throwing a forehand (for me) is the exact same snap and grip as a fastball, just a different angle at which the fingers are held

[@jeremiaswallenius7028]

Great tournament and coverage, thank you so much again! One thing, the crowd seems to be in the way ALL the time, on every hole. This has been so from the 1st round, the tournament staff should warn the spectators about this, it affects the players. Every sport has these selfish people that want the "best view". There should be assigned spectating areas, never on the edge of the fairway at exactly the distance these guys land, c'mon DGLO...

[@jakobwest4811]

I know this comment is old, but this past season I went to a few tournaments in person and honestly it wasn't enjoyable - especially Hornet's Nest. I even paid for the VIP tickets and I figured it would be a crowd of 10-15 following lead card...no, it was like 50-60 people. Everyone was fast walking and practically pushing to get close. It stressed my wife and I out so much we just left halfway through the round. It was a similar experience at other tournaments but we ended up following 2nd or 3rd card instead with more success. Following third card with Matty O was awesome and he loves to talk to the crowd. Any way, I write all this to say that fans trying to get close honestly ruins some of the magic of in person disc golf. It is really annoying to see people be like that. Especially after the rounds, people are literally reaching over each other to try and get pros to sign discs - I don't even understand the point, it seems so impersonal and hollow.
