FINALLY playing HORNETS NEST!! Charlotte, NC

[@wooky5461]

Love the nest

[@parkdandrecd]

Great course! Really fun on a good day, feels like running upstairs backwards on a bad day! Definetley scorable but if score isn't your goal and just getting outside on a beautiful property and having fun with the crew is... one of the best around!! Thanks for watching!!

[@ChrisPlaysDG]

Congrats on 400 subs, my dudes! I'm one of those locals that isnt a big fan of Hornets Nest. I used to live in the area a few years ago, and i went to Nevin much more. The front 9 at Hornet's, specifically the road holes, are not very good holes and can be annoying during a busy park day. I feel Nevin has much more enjoyable holes to play. I am only comparing the two courses since they are within a few miles of one another and are elite level 🤙

[@parkdandrecd]

Thanks man!! I can agree with that comparison. And how lucky are we to have that comparison!! I can have a great time at either no matter how I’m playing but Nevin def has, by far, a better feel to it. Sometimes on busy days at hornets some of the road holes are unplayable because people park in the fairway. But, it’s everyone’s park so I just shrug my shoulders and move on to the next. Luckily there’s two extra holes 😂

[@discgolfingdad5475]

Great round guys. Mike goes even with a triple! Keep up the fun content.

[@parkdandrecd]

Thanks! Can’t hold that man down!!! He’s fun to watch in person that for sure; sniper with the putter!! Thanks for watching our videos man, really enjoy reading your comments every time!!

[@mmamarine123]

I absolutely love this course

[@parkdandrecd]

I do too!! I don’t think it deserves the hate it gets. I mean it’s not my favorite but it’s still an amazing course. Tough!! Thanks for watching!!

[@don_dondg]

Nice round fellows. Great but difficult course,great job!

[@parkdandrecd]

Thanks Don!! Couldn’t agree more. Really easy to have a bad day of golf out there but never mad at the scenery!

[@Only1Pekaylin]

Charlotte local: it’s pretty hard to get to relative to the city but it’s a fantastic course and the 12-18 stretch is truly phenomenal and feels like you’re playing pro style DG on teepads especially with the 15 Mando and 16 Walk up spot.

[@parkdandrecd]

They call 15 “The Gaunlet.” Super tight but rewarding when you slip on through there. I’ve always loved that decking on 16! If you haven’t seen the DGPT when Nathan Queen parked it down the left gap, it’s a great watch!

[@mse1333]

402! Good job guys!

[@parkdandrecd]

Thanks!!

[@DondoDiscGolf]

Congrats on 400 Subs!

[@parkdandrecd]

Thanks!! We just hit it this morning I think!! Hoping to do some giveaways soon to show our appreciation

[@johncallis5181]

Love the camera work! 😍

[@parkdandrecd]

Brandon is the true MVP!

[@johncallis5181]

@@parkdandrecd the GOAT!

[@P4ddyC4ke]

Stumbled across your channel. Really enjoyed the video. I really like how you explained the hole, strategy etc. Great camera work and editing as well. I'm really curious about Mike's putting style. He really seems to generate a lot of power from such a short compact throw. Outside 20 feet, my accuracy drops significantly. I'm looking forward to the rabbit hole of your videos. :)

[@parkdandrecd]

Glad you liked the video! Hopefully you enjoy the rest just as much!! We basically try and make preview videos. Informational enough to where, if you haven’t played the course, you have pretty good idea of what to expect but entertaining enough to where if you have, it’s still watchable! We also want it to feel like a round with the boys!(or girls of course) Mikes putt is nasty!! I’ve tried that type of putting, it’s really not easy. But he’s absolutely deadly with it. It’s basically the same putt from the circle to around 100’! I’ve recently gone to a straddle putt. I don’t think it gives me more spin necessarily but allows for more power since I can reach back pretty far between my legs. I tried pulling back to my hip more for power when I was staggered stance, but the straddle was more comfortable.

[@ChrisPlaysDG]

You guys should try doing some 9 hole challenge videos(spin the wheel, ript revenge, etc)

[@parkdandrecd]

I’ve been waiting for this comment!! I saw foundation using that crazy caddy game from disc golf pins. That looks pretty fun too. We’ll look into it!! Thanks for the recommendation!

[@ChrisPlaysDG]

@parkdandrecd Haha, yes I saw that on Foundation's channel too! It looks pretty cool, i was thinking about picking one up eventually. Wheel spin challenges are pretty fun because of the variety and randomness. You can always put new stuff on the wheel. We did one for the first time a few weeks ago, and I'm just now getting around to editing it 😅

[@parkdandrecd]

Those videos are fun! Well look into it, thank you!!

[@hankydoodle]

Forgot to say PARKOUR on Hole B.

[@parkdandrecd]

😂😂

[@Only1Pekaylin]

Last time I was there recently like a few weeks ago the island on 2 was up, a classic play: makes a hell of a difference in the beginning it just makes it way easier to roll into hole 3 which absolutely sucks(hole 3 alone may be another reason why Charlotte folk don’t fw it😭)

[@parkdandrecd]

Oh lucky you! I’ve only played the island hole twice and both were for tournaments. 3 is tricky. If you’re not a big forehand guy, like me, it’s tough to get a good shot up for bird. The short pin is much more doable but doesn’t change the tee shot

[@happycampers6592]

Subbed. I really like the format/editing and the audio is great. I am 60 yo and my 27 yo son and I play together regularly. I'd like to have some quality videos for years down the road....for memories... Would you mind sharing your recording setup?

[@parkdandrecd]

Thank you!! No problem, I definitely feel that sentiment! We shoot on a Sony a7iii with the Sony 24-105 G OSS lens. The camera body itself is a bit older, you may be able to find one at a decent price at this point. We use the DJI mics. Edit on FCPX. Aaaaaand I think that’s about it. I’d say it’s more of a PROsumer setup as opposed to a CONsumer setup. I use it for my day job so it’s slightly better/pricier than your average setup. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for subscribing and commenting!!

[@happycampers6592]

@@parkdandrecd That's quite a setup! Thanks!

[@parkdandrecd]

Just saw that Best Buy has them on sale for $500 off right now and I thought of you. Still pricey but quite a deal for brand new. Used is usually a good option as well though

[@happycampers6592]

@@parkdandrecd Thanks!

[@jamestyson1349]

Great video! If 8b is one of your favorite ace runs, what's another one you haven't ace? Mine would be 8a Kilborne (1 chainout).

[@parkdandrecd]

For me (Tyler) off the top of my head comes short 9 at scrapyard. Maybe because it’s my home course but I feel like a putter backhand turning over smashing chains before it gets sent into the pond would be a thing of beauty. Obviously 16 at Bradford also. I got 8a at kilborne with a skip Draco!! It was a second shot though. Just messing around. But called it before I did it! Thanks for a great question, maybe Mike and Brandon will chime in too!

[@mse1333]

I see poison ivy everywhere 😵‍💫

[@parkdandrecd]

It’s that time of year for sure!! Literally everywhere

[@eoghana315]

I plugged y'all on FB so I'm glad to see y'all picking up the subs. Maybe you can collab with Molt or Iceberg and get a boost?

[@parkdandrecd]

Sorry for the late response. I’m pretty sure I saw that on FB!! Thank you so much for doing that. That’s the way we want to grow. Organically. We’ve certainly thought about collabs, and I think we may be getting to a point where that would make sense. The product is decent enough, I think, to where other creators wouldn’t be embarrassed to be on the channel 😂 But seriously thank so much for the suggestion and the continued support. Comments/suggestions always come first and that’s a good one so we’ll work on it!!

[@bradleychildress6718]

You find your keys at Blair?

[@parkdandrecd]

😂😂 YES!! They were my mom’s keys. She’s dropped them trying to catch a toad 🤪. Crazy lady! Next time you see us let us know you watch!! Going to start carrying around some Park’d and Rec’d koozies for the people that say hey on the course. Would have loved to meet you formally! Thanks for watching!

[@kingofthenorthcarolina7107]

Lost my favorite halo destroyer on hole 1 there last summer :(

[@parkdandrecd]

She can get pretty thick in the summer for sure!! RIP to your favorite destroyer. I’ve been with my ol leopard for about 9 years now, couldn’t imagine losing it…

[@SimplyIncredibleDiscGolf]

Great stuff guys I'll be in Charlotte next week. it would be great to meet up and get in a round. I sent you a message on IG. Definitely think i'll play Hornets Nest if there is not a tournament on it.

[@parkdandrecd]

Yes! Thanks for reminding me!! Sorry I’ve been super busy lately. I’ll respond on Instagram here soon!!
