Anthony Barela and Gannon Buhr are in a Dog Fight for Player of the Year | Grip Locked

[@Christopherdavey1]

Hope everyone is doing good, me personally kind of struggling sometimes we just have to say it and I mean it. This show gives me some joy every week as know how much you guys live the sport.

[@djcyberia]

I’ve been playing for 2 years and watching DGPT almost as long. This DMC tournament felt like one of the most exciting tournaments I’ve watched. Having those last holes play so difficult made me want to tune in until the end to see what could happen. Great job by Gannon Buhr designing those holes. Excited for the rest of the season. Great job Foundation with covering the sport. 👍🏼

[@QaIeb]

Agreed. When the last few holes are easy it's easy to tune out with like 4 left

[@seansteinle]

Regarding the 'which season would a player want more' for the POY argument. Mutliple players have already said if they could pick which season they'd want every year it would just be the player who won worlds...I think you gotta stop conflating the POY with which season a player would want.

[@dudedecent8805]

Loved this Trevor’s Trivia. You should do it again!

[@BigJuice77]

You guys nailed it with Hole 16 at EO and Hole 17 at Winthrop. Hole 16 created a monumental story line in disc golf that you just don't get without the bunker rule. With this years proposed rule, AB takes a 5 and he finishes in 4th place. Granted, maybe AB doesn't finish bogey-par if he kept some momentum by only taking a 5, but you KNOW that round put a fire under his ass that maybe he wouldn't have this year. Its an all around bad decision. Golf to this day has natural island holes that dudes keep stroking until they hit the island, and its not out of the ordinary to see guys on the PGA tour take a 10 every once and a while at freakishly difficult holes. These are pros. Ok off my soap box, good take Hunt.

This was one of the best "Trevor's Trivia" you guys ever played. Loved it!

[@trevormarcotte1525]

Just with respect to when you guys were talking about how long are we going to wait until Eagle is no longer “just coming back”. With the type of injury he had as well as the surgery that was performed, don’t expect him to be “fully back” for about a year. He will definitely get to 80-90% as the season progresses but it will likely take a while. Coming from a PT who treats these injuries and rehabs post-op.

[@rjminsha]

On steak battle Calvin said he forgot to let the Swedish organizers know he was not coming over in time. So basically said screw it and fit it in.

Wild how Jesse is up for ROTY when he's been playing for so long. I'm sure he qualifies since he's mostly played in Europe prior, but it's still crazy. Good for him though. Totally agree about European Open Hole 16. It's what made the hole iconic. It probably is a pace of play thing but in this case I'm against the change.

[@jamesyantis9334]

Wins are just a unique stat. What if someone you never heard of one one A tier and someone else placed in the top 5 every tournament . Wins would say...

[@kingchuckfinley]

Assuming we are talking strictly about A tiers in this hypothetical I would say “why couldn’t the top 5 player ever win” they are clearly good, but no dawg in them to be a champ. Then you’d have to think that the one win was over top 5 guy. Top 5 still probably the better player, but if you can’t make the jump then how can you be the best?

Missy was not really in it. Holyn was. I believe everytime an episode comes out that the guys don't actually watch FPO, which I think is just as exciting as MPO.

[@kingchuckfinley]

I 100% agree on all fronts. I’m a Missy fan, and she had a really bad first round, but she played very well to get back into the top 10, but she was never actually in the running. All of lead card were in it. I think it’s a foundation thing ultimately. Brodie got called out for not watching FPO, and I actually do think he watches SOOOOOME, but just enough for the show. I genuinely feel like Trevor and Hunter watch clips and look at finishes and try to piece it together. I think Brodie, love him or hate him, actually tries to do some research.

[@kingchuckfinley]

And I think FPO is electric. I love watching it.

[@CheatingLeftyDiscGolf]

Being there, Miss was definitely in it as it started to come down the stretch. After hole 16 for chase and 15 for lead cards, the standings were: Emily -16, Ryan -15, Missy -14, Ohn -14 and Holyn -14. 5 players within 2 strokes, which is nothing with 17 and 18 looming. With the lead card struggling, it was awesome looking at scores and seeing Emily and Missy pushing to match the leaders by hole 14-15.

[@benjaminstrozier7048]

I think you guys should task Edwin with coming up with the disc golf version of Bill Simmons 42 club. A stat that goes across generations and separates the good players from the greats.

great idea.. I have something I've been playing with in the background for a while now that tries to compare players across eras.. its just really hard to account for strength/size of field, number of events, etc.. but its a goal of mine

I dont understand the decision by Calvin. If you wanna play the europe event then go play and stay in Europe. If you wanna play the des moines event then dont go to europe. Thats just insanely hard on your body, now flying back over right after. Just seems like a poor choice to me. But hey, he's got his own free will.

Look at total stroke differential. One additional win for AB is worth how many strokes? A few? Now if you look at all the times AB stunk - how many strokes did Buhr beat AB by during those? A lot more than strokes AB gained in that one extra win. I like AB, but consistent elite play is worth more than just one extra win.

[@nolanscott9870]

I hope this comment section gets cleaned up. The constant hate speech toward a transgender player following the rules is wrong and I’m tired of it being one of the predominant themes of disc golf conversation online. It’s shameful and reflects poorly on the sport. While I agree that athletes should expect to get talked about online, attacking people over things like race, sex, gender, body shaming, etc crosses a line. Words do have impact. LGBTQ+ young people are 4x as likely as their peers to attempt suicide. Further, trans young people are 2x more likely than their LGBQ peers. That’s real and you should care about it. Being harassed online and watching others be harassed online contributes to those experiences. Discussing what rules people feel should be in place regarding the inclusion of trans individuals in protected divisions in professional sports is one thing, but hate speech and harassment are not constructive in any way. On another note, it’s also gross to see people disparaging other Christians for showing respect and decency.

You go on jomez and it’s people saying “I’m not watching this and you know why….” But they’re giving the video a view and engagement. It’s so stupid and performative. What are they going to change? Be a grown up and just… not watch if it’s that important to you. But ultimately I do not understand why people even care. I do not understand this when it comes to politically charged situations. But maybe I’m just jaded and I just have the mentality of “if they’re not hurting me or anyone let them do whatever they want” but then it’s “they’re stealing money from female players!!!!” Niko is going to pay them the $30 so you’re good.

Sir, you need to understand KZbin before you start bashing Foundation. Any vid over 10 minutes KZbin will place ads and longer it is the more there will be. These ads are based on YOUR searches, gender, demographic, likes etc. Foundation however some times need to do a 30 second to maybe 1 minute ad read (this video didnt have one) in order to keep their lights on. Yes, surprisely your 1 subscribe, like and comment doesnt help a ton (still helps) but they need sponsors in order to keep this FREE content coming. If you want to get rid of the multiple KZbin ads, I suggest paying for KZbin premium. Also, while you are disc golfing you can turn off the screen and the audio will still play. Good luck. The more you know...
