[@JomezPro]

We’re releasing a limited t-shirt commemorating Parker Welck’s crazy week of banging chains and jumping through trees. From getting his first Elite series win at DDO, to helping us break the Practice Round ace cold streak this week at Des Moines Challenge, he came to play! These are available NOW for preorder and a portion of the proceeds will go directly to Parker. Check out jomezpro.com/shop to get yours today! Thanks so much for your support!

[@MarusiFyren]

I absolutely love it when a commentator haven't watched tournaments beforehand. I personally think it's much more exciting when we're watching this for the first time together with Jerm.

[@imojo971]

especially the way brian mentioned how gannon was from here on the F9, after that weirdly placed comment i knew instantly that he would win

[@mikechar17]

most places do it live?????

[@Subdivision21]

Fully agreed Jerm is keeping Jomez alive with his commitment IMO thank you

[@benjaminbouaoune4466]

@@mikechar17 Live disc golf production is shitty. When they have the funds to to a proper broadcast, we'll consider. But for now, jomez is the only watchable option for me.

[@RobMc612]

​@@benjaminbouaoune4466Totally agree with this.

[@davidrobinson3161]

Barsby playing with heart after that first hole. Babcock battled as well. Good card to watch.

[@tawwwm]

Absolutely love the Jerm + Earhart commentary! They bring the perfect level of professionalism that Jomez coverage deserves.

[@apinakapina]

I like Jerm and Bear combo. More down to business than BigBerry has been recently, different but well working dynamic, very approachable in true Jomez style. Love Brian's comments on how the players were reacting to their missed shots.

[@bobbyshizz2138]

Massive heart and fight from Barsby. Loved it!

[@xzacto3100]

I’ve been where Simon was on 11, it took ages to find my disc and when I did the shot was impossible what he did from there was insane

[@Datamining101]

I LOVE having someone that walked the course with the card commentating. It would be great if this was a regular feature as a third person in the booth just to have some insights about all the things we don’t see.

[@bigazchillidog6870]

They should always bring out the local course drunk for some Insights too

[@jacksondrakulich7521]

Brian not having anything to do with Jerm’s Cake reference while being completely and totally locked in to the game was true class

[@ChefBogan]

I was dying😂

[@mosier888]

Big Heart commentary is great! Brian always seems like the most informed person on the course everytime he speaks. Wouldn't mind seeing him on more jomez

[@mikechar17]

if you listened it said he had the stat sheet and had already watched the tournament bbhahahahaha

[@dustman96]

Argh

It is fantastic having one commentator watching for the first time while the other has all the insight of every shot, Brian is fantastic

[@otisbrowndoggaming]

515 BABY!!! Sick seeing two Iowa guys on lead card. Can’t wait to get out to Pickard this weekend and embarrass myself!

[@kev13v1]

Gannon is a monster can't believe how good he is this young. Wishing him many years of success ahead what a beast!

[@trevorbaker5121]

I enjoy the commentary thoroughly from Brian because he brings a personal understanding of each individual and asks well-thought questions to make interesting conversation! It feels like Jeremy and Paul have idle conversations without deeper levels of analysis or relevance to the players.

[@natefultz809]

Need brian as a regular commentator. Absolutely phenomenal insight

[@musician1770]

As someone who grew up in Des Moines, how absolutely awesome to see the local hero win his childhood course. I’ve sadly never been as I didn’t get into discing until I moved to CO. But I did used to work at a HyVee lol. Great stores

[@justsomeboyprobablydressed9579]

Yes! Go, Barsby! We love you!

[@dr05guitar]

Love seeing Gregg take t3, what a classy gent with lots of flair, love the flicks, the putts and the good runs, so much fun to watch...

[@davycrocket4858]

@ 8:25 when Brian says "the spotter was useless," does he mean the spotter wasn't doing his job or he just had no way of spotting it because of how deep it went in the trees??

[@InspireBlue226]

Now that’s a trophy!!! TD’s take note. Crystal, looks sharp, fancy, and impressive.

[@cloudgate9281]

Excellent commentary. You two are a good team.

[@johnjasa]

Jerm hitting us with that Cake reference and Brian completely missing it, just focused on the game. Love it

[@nmkloster]

At that first "distance, speed" thing I was thinking "wait... Surely not..." 😂

[@GigisMansion]

You have to say Jerm was (in a sense) all alone in his time of need.

[@DZ7IC22]

He said all alone at the top 😂 just couldn't finish the rest without sounding ridiculous.

[@Chris.Davies]

I am a simple man: Jomez upload a tournament video. I watch the video. I upvote the video. Simple!

[@bigjermdg]

I see you, Chris! I always appreciate your comments. Hope to visit NZ again soon!

[@dustman96]

Always a treat to have Barsby on the card.

[@benall23]

OMG never thought I'd hear a Cake reference. Thanks @bigjerm

[@jkoop]

I like the Big-Air combo on the commentary. Brian is great about talking about the situations on the course, player knowledge, and blends will with the normal commentary from Jerm.

[@JJ79_]

Thats because he actually was there when it happened ;).

[@sc3639]

Brian did a solid job. Well done guys!

[@Qpods]

Big stuff from Gregg. I knew that triple starter would light a fire under his ass! Very entertaining round

[@aidandawn2717]

BigHeart commentary is so much more focused and analytical. More please!!!

[@MrSounddiamond]

I would love to play a round with Barsby. Such a chill guy

[@aidandawn2717]

I had the pleasure of shanking a forehand on an easy hole while he was waiting to tee behind me and watching 😢

[@easy3discgolf144]

Earhart did well on commentary. But 2 minutes into the F9 and he basically gave it away with all the talk of Ganon's home course. How he played his first tournament with his dad ect. We don't need hints or foreshadowing. Many of us immediately picked up on this commentary and the rest of the coverage was just watching who was going to get 2nd.

[@brianboyce9420]

Good job on Simon messing up the GB initials on the card

[@StevenG_RB]

2 weeks in a row now where I’ve correctly predicted the winner very early in the final round based solely on comments made from one of the commentators. I really wish they would just talk about what’s happening on the screen or just be better at not giving it away lol

[@alwaysradical1613]

Yeah I saw who won on Reddit, with nary a spoiler alert.

[@smtx11]

boo hoo. The whole premise of acting like you don't know what happens is lame. So is crying about something that happened the day before. If you want to be surprised by reality, watch it in real time. I watched this knowing full well what happened on every hole, still quite enjoyable.

[@bigjermdg]

That's funny because I didn't know the outcome and I never felt that Brian gave it away while we were commentating

[@StevenG_RB]

@phreaynck yeah it’s not like they come right out and say it but just the way certain things are said about a player give off major vibes to me that they might win the event. Like last week after the first few holes Uli was talking very dramatically about the way Parker was playing and putting that made it seem obvious he was about to win. But it’s really not that big of a deal I guess, just something I noticed. :)

[@beaterbeemer]

Big Jerm I just want you to know I got the Cake reference and I love you for it 😂

[@crabbyjimmy1]

Hell yeah Gannon!! I knew you were gonna smash!

[@patch.reilly]

Brian's great! brings out best in jerm

[@schaissewolfhausen9363]

Big Jerm’s a Cake fan! Different style in music, different style in golf…

[@JazzInATinCan]

What a beautiful story this round was.

[@pequals34]

Speaking of players winning at home, though 2018 Texas States wasn't on the DGPT and wasn't an NT that year, Anthony "AP" Perkins won it and Texas Army Trail and Spring Valley were like 15 miles from where he lives. He definitely took advantage of that and him not being a touring pro because he basically lived and breathed those courses the months before the tournament.

[@snapple16551]

What is the logo on Jerm’s cap?

[@DevilOfVerdansk]

So glad to hear the cake reference on hole 18 😂😂😂

[@million_smiles_disc]

Thanks BigBear!!!

[@MilesCooperUK]

BigHeart commentary vibing nicely 👌

[@citisoccer]

Sitting here watching and trying to decide what I'd be shooting on each hole. Made one solid decision: I wouldn't be keeping score on this course.

now that I watch again, the Jomez score says birdie but then catches that its a par😂

Maybe this has already been answered somewhere but why don't they list Simons discs off the tee? Been that way for awhile while now.

[@mikechar17]

just went right to the cheque, ouch. get the trophy first bud!

[@daws0419]

How is Gannon Buhr making a putt for birdie on hole 13 with his third shot on a par 3? I guess it's just a graphical error as his score stayed the same.

[@jennatracet7156]

Yep, it was one of several graphical errors. It's a shame they can't get it right with it being post production, but great coverage anyway, and it's incredible that they can put it all together in such a short amount of time.
