Disc Golfing with My Wife!

[@joelfreemanhole-hearted6305]

Loving these questions everybody! Keep em coming!

[@isaacyeanoplos4674]

Yes! No worries Joel you said the last name right. I'm excited for that Gator!

[@elliotinecuador]

Thanks for playing our little putter course, it was fun to see you out there! My question: what do you feel is the hardest part of disc golf to master- and do you think that other pros would agree with you?

[@jacobjcoon]

Ever thought about doing a disc golf missions trip where you come teach some missionaries and locals? We'd love to have you in Germany!

[@tomklepac6914]

My favorite putter course! Glad to see a professional throw at it!

[@bwpSnakeEyes]

Picked up a Butler County Gator3 today! Early Christmas present to myself :)

[@geneharris1]

AMA Q's: Favorite composer? Favorite band? A time when Alyssa saved the day? For Alyssa: Top challenge of tour life as a non-player?

[@indyautospa]

Subscribed because I like the spouse doubles. How long before the wife starts giving you a run for best score? Tuned in for the progress!

[@lailah1009]

Hey wondering if you change your disc golf bag depending on the tournament and how many discs do you usually carry in your bag?

[@jonathane984]

Fun video. My wife and I do something similar every now and then. AMA question: What is your favorite non-DGPT/Elite event to play?

[@andrewhill1982]

I always love seeing new ways to play, I’ll have to convince my friends to play this version of doubles with me. For the AMA, what do you do most often on tour (outside of disc golf) for fun? Are there any places off the tour that you find a way to visit each year? Thanks for the fun videos!

[@jaradjordan2027]

Good to see you at the NWA open a few weeks back. You killed it. When I Putt I often psych myself out by unintentionally thinking I’m going to miss and then I do. Do you have any techniques or habits that help you ignore that little devil on your shoulder?

[@shaughnbuchannan116]

Hey Joel, meet you when you came to the course, sadly there is word that they are wanting to remove the course. I’m going to make a online petition to save the course, because so many people learn on this course after I make the petition I’ll like it under this comment if you could share it it would mean a lot.

[@gregdorius5917]

Great stuff! I’m curious what you think is the most effective way to help someone get into disc golf? All the discs and lingo can be off-putting to someone, so I’m curious to know your (or your wife’s!) pointers for making the intro to the sport as enjoyable as possible.

[@micahwarning3183]

Love the Video! Here’s my question: when it comes to disc golf what is your “why”? What makes you love this sport and continue to do it?

[@joelfreemanhole-hearted6305]

Congratulations Micah! You asked my favorite question! Send me a message on Instagram or reply to this comment in the next 10 days in order to claim your prize! Thanks for your support!

[@TristanGoetz]

Joel, Tristan with Eagles Wings here. I have a question for the AMA. With some players starting up foundations in their namesake that are tailored toward different things disc golf related (Paul's bringing disc golf to under-served countries and Ricky's bringing disc golf into more schools), if you could start the Hole-Hearted Foundation, what would you like to see your foundation do to further disc golf?

[@timh8976]

Hi Joel. Loved the video. I just started playing this year and my wife is starting to get into it not as seriously but I enjoy playing together. So I really enjoyed watching you and your wife play together 👍AMA: how dob you know when you can move up say from 7speed to 9 speed to 12 speed? And does a 151g Diamond fly the same and same distance as 171g ? If not how do you know when to move up in disc weight as well? Thanks

[@InfiniteGTO]

Hey Joel, what is the best and worst thing about being a touring pro?

[@mmldiscgolf]

Hi Joel. AMA Q: When you have a bad round or are just frustrated coming off the course for any reason, what do you do to "reset?" Do you have a favorite worship song you listen to, play, or sing? Or do you have another thing you do to shake it off to prepare yourself for the next round or event?

[@sethmiller2534]

Cache la poudre? Very fun!

[@chrisjoaquin8408]

Dang there are a whole lot of comments and a whole lot of good questions. But here’s an off the wall question for you: during a tournament, have you ever eaten something before hand or drank too much coffee and found yourself fighting the urge to poop your pants the whole time while playing??? Would they let you use the restroom? Are you guys on a strict time constraint??

[@timothyloeffler6025]

How much does your bag change year to year as far as the molds you throw?

[@tunnelshotdiscgolf]

In your 2022 in-the-bag video, you had mentioned that you don't bag any fairway drivers (7-8 speed) and that it has been working well for you. Is part of that decision based on you finding more success on some wooded course shots using your putters or midranges that have less lateral movement and/or less/later fade than most fairway drivers might exhibit on the same shots?

[@eucbros9235]

Speaking of trying to get ACES I've only had one in my disc golf journey but when you get them now after having many aces before, does it still bring the same joy and surprise as the first time you aced or does it just seem like another one ? :)

[@timhughes4025]

Joel, been following you for awhile and just wanted to let you know that it is awesome to know that a man of faith is out there on tour and spreading the word of God. Keep up the great work. I'll be rooting for you

[@subspaceanomaly]

at least half of the pro tour are Christians

[@derrickdigiulio4027]

As a disc golfer would it be more beneficial to have fingers the length of your arms and arms the length of your fingers, or feet the length of your legs and legs the length of your feet? Tough choice for me, but I think I could generate enough power in my arms to get by with foot long legs! Curious your thoughts on grip with monster fingers!

[@austinfligor6991]

Ama question: Do you think there is a minimum distance someone should be able to throw to be competitive on the pro tour?

[@jameslminix6428]

Lady Freeman, your game will come. Joel stay humble as you are, many can learn from it.

[@discgolfdadddy]

Hey Joel! Awesome to see you and your wife playing together! My question for you is what was your process for picking your putting putters and how long did it take to get used to that putter?

[@nickferchau3013]

Hey Joel, I had a great time playing at DeLa with you and Ben Palm this summer. I really enjoyed watching you power up on slower discs to hit those long straight gap shots through the woods. How would you recommend developing that skill for those of us looking to increase our ability to stay in the fairway on wooded courses?

[@BruceMo_]

Hey Joel, what are some good tips that you use to help your mentality during a round or a tournament weekend when you’re getting a lot of bad breaks?

[@Captivateitmedia]

You guys are so adorable together. Love these partner type vids to see the other dide of disc golfers…the side that helps hold the glue together. :). And she plays real well. Fun vid

[@BIZARBIES]

Comment for the Al Gore Rhythm.

[@joewozniak4049]

Hey Joel, what's a disc that you love up here at altitude that gets very little use on tour when you play lower altitudes?

[@scottc4076]

Will you always spend the off-season in CO ??? Or will y’all move south where you can practice in December??? Thanks for the content y’all ❤❤❤

[@jcduda]

Thanks, Joel - Fun vid! I like the challenge of following up on someone else's drive. As a relative beginner, I'm struggling with distance. I can basically throw deignated putters as far as distance drivers. My question is: how does one handle different kinds of discs - putters, mids, failrways, and drivers - to maximize their unique aerodynamics and design characteristics?

[@shawnmanson6193]

My wife is new to playing, you just gave me a great idea for when we play together, should be fun, ty to you both & Joel, I always root for you when I see you on a card

[@markadkins9290]

That was great watching you and your lovely wife play!

[@kerisibley624]

Hi Joel, I've only been playing for a little more than a year, so it's kind of a newbie question. Do you feel that you have a more consistent shot if you throw from a specific angle? For example, I seem to throw better from a slight Anhyzer angle. The disc seems to go in the right direction more often than if I were to throw flat or on a hyzer, I have more control with that angle. What do ya think?

[@martincarney3837]

Cache La Poudre Jr. High Course, used to play it for mid range/putting practice when I lived in Fort Collins!

[@lawrence8834]

Joel, love the content. You're "in the bag" is my favorite! And then comes to mind Butler County!!! Final round front 9 you go 6-. You're tired for 1st place going into the back 9, and THEN go 8 down thru the final 9 for an INSANE SCORE of 14 down and the WIN. question: how do you stay locked in when shooting THAT round we all dream of? How! that was a tight woods disc golf clinic man. Ps.... love that your wife matches you. Here's to your best year ever 2023. Do it!

[@Jvwowd]

You said CLP was one of your favorite courses in the area. If you were designing your own community course and wanted it to be fun for a broad range of player skill levels what types of design elements would you incorporate? Would it look a lot like CLP or very different?

[@shineshinexc]

Joel, if you could be a professional athlete for any sport would you change sports or stick with disc golf?

[@TAFNAP69]

Awesome video we need more DG content like this! Keep it up Alyssa that was fun to watch!

[@Thatscreamygood]

That is the best putter course around always try to hit that one on the way out of edora/ultra/Wellington. Don’t get too many wooded courses around I’m glad to see you show this one some love. BTW if you’re in town and you haven’t yet checked out UNC/Adam’s hollow/Edora they just recently redesigned all of those too.

[@JuanHernandez-rp2ui]

What made you choose the gator3 as your tour series disc?

[@chandlerkahl7771]

CLP Middle School? That is where I went to school! Fun idea of a new type of play. Love it.

[@holdinitdowninptown]

That's a fun little course, I played it this summer. Always great to see people's significant others out on the course too. My question for you is how do you manage your faith while on tour?

[@athistedthetjapper823]

Hey Joel, what do you do to keep your focus during tournaments and what do you do to keep having focus during training.

[@phylliswhittington8996]

My husband and I met you and your wife in Belton TX last spring..yall sure are the cutest couple In disc golf!! My question is : where do yall get your adorable matching clothes?!?!

[@lordawesome9279]

Loved watching you and Alyssa enjoying a course together. What is your favorite disc to throw and why?

[@Muffster666]

Loved the format and the dynamic between you two 😊😍

[@shawnmanson6193]

Why is Alyssa a better putter than me..... Lol gj Alyssa

[@clarencedisc]

Hi Joel, How do you practice putting? Do you have a regular routine?

[@brettmchan2855]

He did a video on this a while ago if I am not mistaken. You may want to search through his videos and see. I am almost positive

[@joelfreemanhole-hearted6305]

Enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4rPpYGNh8R4rZo

[@throwsquatch6432]

Love clp, and don't worry I think anyone who is throwing rhbh on 5 always worries about that tree. I know I do.

[@thetheech]

Hey Joel, what is you wingspan and how important do you think arm length is for distance? Does it detract from accuracy or touch similar to basketball?

[@markandamberkincher6608]

Loved the video and the format. I use that format when I go play with any of my girls. What is one non disc golf goal that you have this off-season that you believe will have the biggest impact on your upcoming disc golf season?

[@p.w.7051]

Joel, my friend, I don't know why, but for the last couple of years I have found myself rooting for you over all other disc golfers. When you struggle, I struggle. I'm suddenly convinced that you are going to have a huge breakthrough this year. I think that if you nail down that putting you will win one, if not more, majors this year. Looking forward to 2023 season.

[@hatchermason9626]

hey joel! How did you get into disc golf originally and what made you get hooked to the game?

[@labhunter94]

Thanks for great content. My twins loved meeting you at myrtle beach open. That picture with you made there day. They brag about it to anyone who will listen. Lol. So question to go along with this. How do you stay focused while playing rounds and practicing with people watching

[@d4v1dTV]

Great video and commentary. How did you fit disc golf into your schedule along with irl things?

[@_shavedotters_3325]

Thank you for the video! You’re one of my favorite pros to watch so it’ll be cool to see how you spend your off season! My question is: “if disc golf didn’t work out for you as a career, what do you think you would be doing?”

[@garrickmann11]

I live in Estes Park,CO and when I visit family in northwest Arkansas, I try to find a local tournament to jump in but I always struggle adjusting to the lower elevation. Tips welcome, please! Also, I can’t lay down a roller at 8,000ft and I kinda need it sometimes. Thanks, Joel!

[@Steve-hv1bg]

Comment for the YT algorithm

[@johnborden6545]

Besides the obvious factors, (weight, plastic type) do you feel that color has any effect on stability? As a bowler, I know that lighter pigments have a very slight effect on the ball.

[@gwsmallwood]

That’s a great format for mixed skill levels. My question is do you adjust your bag when you play courses lower in altitude than Denver?

[@dramnol]

What is the best way to develop a putting routine? What do you recommend for it.

[@EvanDeMeyer]

Hey Joel! I’m a native of Greeley and I’ve played disc golf in Colorado almost my whole life. What would you say your top five Colorado courses are?

[@brettmchan2855]

So outside of disc golf what is your favorite stop on the pro tour. So I am not referring to the course, I mean what is your favorite stop on the pro tour because you love the food, music, beauty of the area, or just the people? Course has zero impact on this answer.

[@jessemiller7088]

Hi Joel! Curious how you discovered disc golf and also which sports you played prior? Also why does it seem no pros bag a orc?!? Thanks for the content!

[@chriscrowder8621]

Is it harder for you to keep a level head through a terrible round or stay motivated during the off season to keep practicing?

[@glenndowdy4180]

One of my favorite courses in FoCo. Got my first ace on #1 throwing the same anny line as Joel, went 10 under in best-disc doubles with a friend (he g0t the ace) and played a 100 hole tournament there (added an extra hole in the field next to #9 to make 10 holes a round>

[@AndyNotSoSmart]

Y'all did great!

[@jeffasmi11]

Fun video, Thanks!

[@spockhozzer7207]

Great idea, Joel! Playing this format of doubles encourages setting goals for players of all levels and likely prevents a player with less distance from always being first to throw from the fairway. My question involves the off-season and dancing. I know from watching other videos on your channel that you have a background in dance. How important is it to have a rhythmic outlet like dance to keep your balance, weight transfer, timing and footwork agility in use during the off-season? Much love to you and your family. Merry Christmas

[@illusive31tybam16]

Do you feel like playing in Colorado for so long gives you a distance advantage or a handicap at sea level?

[@skatercarl]

I love that you like playing CLP, that's awesome! It really is a fun, technical little course. Tougher in the summer too. You should do an off season video out at Pessimist!

[@tomklepac6914]

When was the first time you played at CLP, and which hole there did you ace first?

[@solomonnackashi2339]

Hey Joel, I was wondering if you could tell me a little about your tournament preparation? Also, how to deal with tournament nerves?

[@jayjensen7774]

Couple of questions for the AMA, Are there other Christians on tour that you regularly have fellowship with and worship with? What tournament are you looking forward to the most next season? Do you try and find churches to go to while on tour or how do you stay connected while on tour? I know that other professional sports have team chaplains, is there anything like that for touring pros?

[@michaelgannon7710]

Hi Joel your such a awesome person and your wife you guys are awesome together my question is what’s your diet like u drink smoothies and your work out plan u use disc golf strong and my wife doesn’t play I wish pretty much by myself and teebird three is my favorite disc of all time love you’d guys peace

[@Holdini1]

Thanks for sharing a fun, new doubles format that SYNTHESIZES competition and collaboration!! Question: Does your contract with Innova REQUIRE an active social media presence, or is it just encouraged?? Or is it just good business sense?

[@aneskymoe2415]

In your opinion, which pro has the best approach forehand (and needs a gator3 in their bag)

[@mhoovair89]

My ama question is what’s the best off season practice technique / workout that you do? Also. What’s your favorite kind of pizza?

[@MoreDiscGolf]

Ok. Questions! Are you going to going to change your tour series disc? What is your favorite color? What is something you are actively working on mentally this offseason? What tournament besides worlds and USDGC do you want to win the most? I work at a boys and girls club, do you do clinics while on tour with UPlay?

[@DrAceGikmo]

Hey Joel! I've always wanted to ask you - how do you avoid disc golf burnout? People often talk about the challenges of making a living off of a hobby/passion; how do you manage that?

[@peterkline1619]

Hey Joel-love these videos that y’all put out. Appreciate all the hard work to make it happen. So my question is this: “If a chicken and a half laid an egg and a half in a day and a half, how much does a pound of cheese weigh?” Oh, wait. You wanted a question about disc golf😂. Just the quirky youth pastor in me coming out. Hope you at least got a good laugh. My question for you would be this: “How do you juggle the demands of being on the Pro Tour (travel, practice, events, sponsor events, etc.), along with family life, responsibilities with Eagles Wings Chapel services, and everything in between-all the while keeping the faith and making sure He is first in everything you tHINK, sAY, and dO? Oh yeah, and the answer from the first question is A POUND😂.

[@michaelanderson4893]

Hey Joe, first time seeing your channel. Love that your wife plays with you. My wife and I throw together too. It is a great way to spend time together. My question is... Are you and your wife looking to play mixed tournaments together?

[@andreathee9695]

Good to see your wife on the vlog again. Did you develop your backhand or forehand first?

[@TAFNAP69]

In the past people were buried with objects needed in the afterlife. If you were allowed to take only one disc with you to use in the afterlife which disc would it be and why?

[@kyuen10]

Hey Joel ! Love the content. Would love to know ... how has God blessed and driven your disc golf life ?? God gives us all different paths and it is amazing to see Him use you in a special way.

[@nathanaelwhisman7266]

What was the hardest part about turning full time pro disc golf? What makes innova stand out from other brands? What is your favorite course to play on tour? Thanks for the dope videos man!

[@evanpeace8806]

My question for you is do you wear your colorful patterned shirts around town doing normal activities 😄? You have a great wardrobe game to go along with your disc game. Always enjoy the wholesome content, I know my 4 year old can safely watch. Thanks!

[@sammadison2314]

New to the channel, thanks for doing giveaways. Love watching you play. I know its so helpful to have my wife caddie for me. My question is do you find it grounding for your wife to be on the bag for you?

[@crystalward8457]

Joel love seeing what you're wearing on the course. Where does your fashion sense stem from?

[@markusfjortoftdg]

Hey Joel! What is your favorite t-shirt pattern and colour?

[@Steve-hv1bg]

If someone gets an ace in overtime/playoffs, should they receive ace pot money?

[@bobbyv196800]

Great video

[@smcjharnum]

Can you list your favorite courses from every country that you've played in?

[@adenoong]

AMA question: Any consideration about heading to the Southern Hemishphere for the "off season"?
