What a battle! There needs to be an annual European Championship to grow the sport on this continent. More high pressure putts to the players and deeper competition! So great to see so many countries represented!

[@papigringo5692]

8:21 What a teachable moment. As I saw him lining up that forehand I felt like he was going to hit the stake. With that type of obstacle you absolutely MUST make an adjustment on your release point to eliminate the danger. To go ahead and throw low is just overconfident, in my opinion.

[@bsarued]

This makes me appreciate even more just how insanely good the top Americans are at putting

[@prattacaster]

Agree. Another difference I see is these top guys all have similar throwing styles, like almost robotic as far as they all have clean technique. It seems like the US throwers have more of an individualistic style/quirky.

Damn, I know discgolf got some more momentum during cov....but still...I think we need more random courses everywhere...in my surroundings in Germany there is sadly none, that is close enough to play regularly.

Go to the governing body of your area and ask!

[@keithmiller9369]

I feel like this course is REAAAALLLLY easy compared to what we just watched at the Championship in the US. I am new to this sport. Is this an easy course?

[@jukka7948]

It is definitely on the easier side of pro courses in Europe. Maybe not as easy as some of the "birdie or die" courses on US pro tour, but quite close. Current lay out designer Jussi Meresmaa is sharing his thoughts about it on this short interview, where he mentions that he wanted to keep OB as natural obstacles: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWKokIF5YtOsqKc Easy or not, it's same course for everyone. And most important thing is, course creates separation between players over four rounds.

[@portsamagic]

Its fair course. Not many flat greens making putting important. Looks easyer that it is. Its been part of the world tour before. Check spin tv channel for older vids. Its a good course compared to those golf courses they play like every third tournament in states.

[@askoliini]

[@220volt-u7]

[@oyuyuy]

Fun to see some new faces, but I have to say that the top European players are MILES behind the US players in terms of putting. I wanna say that the top US players hit 95%+ of their unobstructed C1x putts, while the EU players hit what? 70%? We even saw 5-10 misses from

[@SeahorseGames]

Great coverage but what the hell is this commentary at 26:40, that spoiled the whole ending. Not cool

[@jurristi]

What? It does not spoil the ending, Jussi is just stating the pretty much obvious. If Linuses putt doesn't go in he can't really catch up if Niklas just plays for the par and then immediately remembers there are three holes left not two.

[@caseywrightsel4277]

I get Simon isn’t on the card but why did he get booted off the commentary?

[@nakke3]

He had an early flight. They touched on this in the end of the R3B9 commentary.

Hole 16 Nikklas violated Rule 803.01 A. A player must choose the stance that results in the least movement of any obstacle that is a permanent or integral part of the course. Once a stance has been taken, the player may not move an obstacle in order to make room for a throwing motion. When he backed into the branches to get more of a run up. This shouldn't be allowed at this level of competition.

[@unwrinkledear]

Having listened to 4 rounds of commentary by Jussi, I have come to the conclusion that he is a sub-900-rated commentator. 80% of what he says is obvious and the other 20% isn't interesting. I appreciate what discmania does for the game, but just because you sponsor a tournament or support the game does not mean that you can speak intelligently and entertainingly about the sport.
