2024 The Open at Austin | MPO R2F9 | Ellis, Marwede, Rathbun, Barela | Jomez Disc Golf

[@matthewpriven9685]

Hot take: one of the best parts of Jomez is the color balance. It’s so much nicer seeing rich greens and deeper colors compared to the overly bright and washed out colors of the DGN content. Never change this please ❤

[@brucehansensc]

Camera angles have improved so much too, nice work under appreciated.

[@jamietigges2154]

Yeah DGN quality is a joke, especially for paid content. I see the free clips and don't understand why anyone would pay for it.

@Jomez specifically Nate...regarding "parked" as a term, if you think about it in context of one's "drive" it makes perfect sense. Drive to the spot then get parked❤

I've noticed a couple of times this year on the first hole the graphics are wrong, they show the scores of the players after the hole is completed at the beginning of the hole.

I agree. One of the very few shots not switching to catch cam right away where we actually get to see the flight of the disc. When they don't switch to catch cam right away it's almost certain that the disc hits a tree or we get a replay.

The additional bonus coverage this year is awesome. The only slight problem I've noticed is it shows the lead card's score as if they've already finished hole 1 when they're being introduced and throughout the hole. Not in the first rounds when they show everyone's score as even, but this 2nd round showed which players had birdied hole 1 before they actually did.

[@MichaelScott-ny2xi]

[@aarondevine8960]

Thanks Jomez. Great content. I'm here with another plea to go back to showing the leaderboard after each hole with hole by hole, like during round 1, for each round. During round 1 Big Jerm asked if a player was in the clubhouse with their score, and then it was pointed out that he still had 3 holes to play. There is extra suspense when you don't know the outcome. Thanks again for all you do.

[@Ericular]

100% agree. I'm OK with the "live" leaderboard on the final round when the chase card comes into play, but hole by hole is best the vast majority of the time. You're telling a story, so if the narrative at the end of the round necessitates a real-time leaderboard, I get that. But most of the time (i.e. all non-final rounds) it is a spoiler that serves no purpose.

[@sarnry]

Absolutely totally agree!

One nit pick: show the shot longer from the thrower's perspective especially on buttery shots like AB at 41:00. Switch to the catch cam later in the flight so we can see the whole shot, it's just confusing perspective when the cams switch before it's landed

[@matthewbrinkman7007]

I’m still not a huge fan of the way the scoreboard and positions are displayed. I wish we could revert back to the old style where all the scores and positions were displayed up to the hole the lead card is playing. I really dislike the way that the scoreboard/postions are lined up with people that have already played 12 more holes than the lead card. I know it was to give more information on decision making, but I haven’t seen that being reflected until the final round and last 3 holes.

[@isaknilsson71]

So Niklas is now the Hulk? Like, "You won't like me when I'm angry" or "That's my secret, Cap - I'm always angry" :D

[@bobbybobman3073]

Holy crap I've absolutely loved this tournament both years so far, both times I felt like the course design was excellent at creating score separation. And grest scores can be shot bombers have some chances to gain strokes on folks. But trchnical players have a real chance too. Yeah tree kicks and whatever but imo they all play the same course, and there does seem to be options on most holes that if you play for par the pros can definitely get to the green without anything too crazy. Look I know disc golf loves their birdies. But I don't care either way if a good score for a hole is par or eagle. Frankly I think its totally a good idea to have some holes where if you get the birdie it really is actually gaining strokes on the feild. Yeah I think roughly 4 -5 holes should be definitely birdieable by the average touring pro. But I just mean like a 65% chance for a 50th percitle touring pro. I think you need hard holes that are mostly fair to separate the okay good better and best players out here. Could the course use more distance in s lot of ways? Probably, at the same time if more courses on tour were this stlye where most the time distance can certianly help but its always kinda risky to use it I think that would be better to watch and healthier for the players so they arent throwing 300+ full powershots a week on your

[@kylewright8643]

love the content ya'll put out, and i've always enjoyed the chase card check-ins. but this year between waco and austin, it feels like you're spending a lot more time on them. i liked them more when it was just a quick 45-60 sec check-in. I find my self skipping through the videos more often now because of those

[@Griz313]

I’m confused about one part of the evaluation of hole 5. If a player goes for a risky birdie shot over OB and does not make it across safely on a par 3, people would of course criticize the hole design if they were given a 40 foot par putt from a drop zone, because there should be the risk that if you don’t deliver the perfect shot, you’re almost certainly taking 2 strokes more than you wanted. So in that case, if you’re trying the same shot on a par 4 in the attempt at making an eagle, would it not be acceptable that a player is given a drop zone shot that not only eliminates the eagle opportunity, but also, more than likely the birdie as well? In either scenario, the player has to settle for 2 more strokes than their preference. If the drop zone offers too much risk, no one who isn’t desperate would go for the “hero shot”. Especially in a game that is quickly becoming considered a spectator sport, and the risky shots are what spectators want to see, I think a simpler drop zone location such as the one on hole 5 plays to the sport’s benefit in the long run.

[@adamnejad6250]

[@mattmctour]

Sorry...but just another thought...what if disc golf got the jump on ball golf and abandoned the whole concept of "par". Just play the course and go for your lowest score relative to your competitors. Think about it. Think about how you would comment on a hole. "There's a play for a 3 but it's risky and could lead to a 5 or worse. Easy routes to a 4 but sometimes a mistake playing safe still takes you out of bounds and now you could be looking at a 6. . Let's see how they play it." Par is no longer a thing.

[@mattmctour]

...about Hole 5 and the commentary (and for the record I love BigSexyBerry...the best team of commentators - even when they're exhausted - in all of sports), but par for a hole is just an arbitrary number that should really have no influence on how the hole is played. Imagine if that easiest of birdie holes was a par 3 instead of 4. Suddenly it's a challenging par 3 where the safe play is to play for par and forget the birdie. Same drop zone for the risk takers trying for the bird nets a bogie. It's all the exact same result relative to your competitors. Just different relative to "par". For the fans?? ...depends...are eagles or pars vs easy birdies more exciting than birdies or bogies vs easy pars? I think it's kind of all the same.

[@brosa1212]

My wife asked why AB waxes his legs

[@bigazchillidog6870]

Thank you guys so much for eliminating gatekeeper media to show us a shot or two from the chase card check in that is totally fun, fair, and cool

[@mattmctour]

ok...sorry...me again...playing devil's advocate with myself. The argument against my other two comments being..."boring!" If we remove "par" it's like accountants have taken over the game. And we lose the fun terms of birdies and eagles and 'double eagles' (which is wrong and should always be called albatrosses). So here's another idea for disc golf (to beat ball-golf and get on ESPN more often). The "pterodactyl"...a 2 on a par 6. Imagine a diabolical hole in the woods, 800 feet with a crazy narrow line...both first and second shot. If you pure the drive and the 2nd shot a 2 is possible. It's 1/100 x 1/1000 for the 2....a 1/100,000 shot amongst the best players. But it's justified to have a "pterodactyl" because the hole has OB left and right and 6 is the average score. Ball golf has no comparable type of hole (at least I think not)...and the incentive for going for the 2 on the woodsy-crazy-ass-out-of-boundsy-par-6 is that there's not really a safe way to play it given the trees everywhere.

[@davycrocket4858]

Stop showing everyone else's scores so often. Maybe once every few holes if you have to pretend like we're watching this live, but it just takes away from watching the four featured players and reminds us that they're not leading the tournament, which makes it less exciting. I much prefer the old way of watching the lead card compete with each other, and then being surprised with the rest of the field's scores. You could also show highlights at the end. This is post-production and we know we are watching it later. Unless you're going to actually make it like live golf, where they hop around and show an equal amount of shots from each of the leaders in the tournament from different cards, as opposed to the random highlights that are the Chase card check ins here

[@todafront0753]

First!

[@iIliterati]

I'm sorry but I really hate showing 10 holes in advance for the chase card check-in. It's so devoid of any context for us as viewers that it really ruins any drama because it happened so long ago and we don't even hardly remember them playing it. It's so much better on day 1 the way you guys do it. When we got to hole 14 or 16 and Gannon was making a run of birdies you could do something like, "Let's see how Gannon got to -16 under." etc
