Simon if you need an amp I recommend the Roland micro cube. Has the Fender clean tones, acoustic, British, Marshall stack, battery powered and at 3 watts you can crank it up without blowing your ear drums. Usually find them around $50 used.

[@xburrex]

Im here because I wanted to watch Simons streak. But damn, really nice UX here on Gatekeeper. I think this is the best in the business right now. Really good work. Also, more fast paced and quicker to the action. I think this is something Jomez starts fail at. Longer isen't always better. Better rewind, better stats, faster droneview (THANK YOU!!) and better "cuts" between action. Keep it up guys, I will be back!

[@ValetteRenoux]

I'm grateful for this chase card coverage. I only wish that you would have shown the standings after each hole, to show where Calvin and Simon were in relation to the lead card. It would have made it much more exciting to watch.

[@Newtperc]

Epic season for the chase card so far!

[@kimmomatikainen1843]

If field keeps being this close to each other, I expect to see even a 4th car winner this season or at least not surprised if we see one. If chase card is basically tied to lead card, then chase card or 3rd card might even have a slight benefit, mentally. Winning is not easy and being in a lead card can cause extra pressure. Third card doesn't have cameras and that helps many players to play better. It just takes that one of the top 10 players is on a 3rd card and plays a hot round and is only 2-5 strokes behind the leader. We are used to see chase card being 10 stokes behind the leader or something like that. It used to be difficult to come from behind. Now 20 players in 3-4 stokes makes it a lot easier.

[@johnclark5859]

I’ve got an amp you can have Simon. Unbelievable round

[@gregschrock971]

Thanks for the coverage! Great stuff! I'd love some clarity on the current position indicators. Are the lead card scores presented as if they've completed the hole the chase card just finished? Or is it from whatever hole they completed when the chase card finished their hole? Honestly, I've come to really like the live score view JoMez has adopted as I can get into the mindset of the players I'm watching. I'd love to see that here as well. But at least a clarification would help.

[@nickyutzy4788]

UDisc Live and PDGA update the holes as the card finishes that specific hole. It is never estimated for the chase card. If chase card just finished 18 and lead card just finished 17 and submitted the scores for that hole, everything updates to that current score. They usually have a "Thru X Holes" when listing the information

[@gregschrock971]

I understand udisc. That's not what I'm talking about. Immediately when hole 17 completes, the graphics list Simon as being in the solo lead. But that's because of what Gannon had not yet done on hole 17. The announcers mentioned something about projecting the lead card over the last holes which is why he was listed in first place. At that point I can't tell what has and hasn't been accounted for in the listed positions and what's required for Simon to actually win.

[@michaelaubuchon1734]

I'm digging the Simon/Nick Carl combo. I have a gut feeling that some of those classic Simon moments we saw and are used to may not have been unlocked without Nick by his side. What do y'all think?

Truth is that no one has the best plastic and there is no such thing is the best driver or best midrange. Personal preferences and no one has thrown all the plastics or the discs so there might be a "better" option out there for everyone but they haven't thrown it. Dumb to advertise like that.

[@kimmomatikainen1843]

That would be nice to have e.g. last 5 holes so that chase card is shown first and then lead card. Well, one option is to have two windows open and watch hole by hole so that first chase card and then lead card and then chase card and then lead card and so on. Unfortunately there are spoilers in the commentary. I don't think this kind of collaboration will happen. It would reduce both of their income. Now both are being paid for their own videos. If they do it together, they need to split a revenue from one video.
