Nate has to be the most likable guy on tour. I love how he justifies everything he does in the most dad way possible

[@Javaman92]

Thanks to the guys at GKPRO for capturing as much of the natural beauty they could during this round. I really liked the positive vibe these players had, all the encouragement they gave each other reminded me of the FPO field. ;-)

[@TheAeroRising]

Honestly, all things considered...the best and most enjoyable Skins I have ever watched. I've watched all of them. The ACE helped but it was just good vibes the entire time.

[@obscurereference6298]

There was one with Calvin and Kevin that I would put #1 but this is pretty close.

[@felix207]

Very very good, but if Calvin or Jones aren't in it, can't be the best

[@herpderp969]

"The Sexton Effect"

[@kingdavey90]

Super great round, big fan of all these players!

[@MrBlackbergk]

Dude, I totally agree 👍 Just good friends playing a round together

[@alitabattlechicken9732]

Alex seems like a solidly good dude

[@kingdavey90]

Most definitely!

[@zimmytot63]

“Your in!” A Russ- for sure Hahahaha

[@TroyMcElveny1]

He's a good guy. I've seen him on the local course here a few times when he's not on tour. Always friendly

[@whrlwind5430]

This seems like a solidly good comment

[@dr05guitar]

He does! I think this Skins match is the first time I've ever heard him talk

[@OneHippiesMusings]

The best thing about that Stokely shot is right before, he said to himself "You can DO THIS Scott!" and then he did! Amazing.

[@kailacasse6986]

dude that eagles crossing intro is so sick but SO LOUD

[@obscurereference6298]

2 Storylines at the end there. #1 Nikko missing that putt on 17 helped him. If he pushes, Gavin could win the seat on 18. If he misses, no one can get 8 skins. 100% wasn't intentional but some silver lining there. #2 Alex making $1200 has to be a pretty unbeatable record for most money earned by a "non professional" in a skins match. Also he gets dinner.

[@wilmaterna4667]

very nice take away

[@davidbradford2063]

I actually thought Nikko intentionally missed that throw 🤔

[@obscurereference6298]

@@davidbradford2063 its obviously possible

[@sweetvigil]

Nate Sexton with sneaky distance. Wow

[@angstony459]

More Alex Please! Great video again.

[@bradleyallred9710]

Idk if disc golf players realize.. Gavin Babcock is an all state wrestler from Iowa.. he will man handle 97% of all pro disc golfers.

[@Beaglefaust]

Seems like Gavin should get a special sponsor invite for hitting the ace pot. Obviously most skins deserves one every week. But the ace pot is so rare and special, IMO it does too.

[@obscurereference6298]

Dude makes 10 G's, maybe spreading it around is better.

[@Beaglefaust]

@@obscurereference6298 The reason I think it does is he was the money winner early on and it was never going to be close. Tough to force himself to bear down and grind for skins in that situation.

[@obscurereference6298]

@@Beaglefaust But you're saying that like it's a hardship if he doesn't go. If you could honestly say before the season started that someone would win 10k and would you want them having a chance to scoop 30+k, you would probably say no. To change the rules to let him try to scoop the whole pot seems unreasonable.

[@Beaglefaust]

@@obscurereference6298 No, I'm saying he won the most money in a skins match, by far. Skins is inherently weird anyway. A player can be out of it, not participate in any pushes, and win the most skins (money) with one good hole anyway. He had the best hole since Maple Hill and KJ.

[@thallman7147]

Wow, what great coverage by the filming crew. Fantastic audio too. Love Scott Stokley Light comment about Simon. Beautiful course as well. Congrats to the whole team that designed and built it. 👍👍

[@holdinitdowninptown]

Best skins match hands down!! Except the Stokely round but Congrats on that Ace, Gavin. And we all saw that ninja spin 14:30 Kat.

[@felix207]

No Calvin or Jones. Not top 5

[@felix207]

Kat does have bonus points tho. Love her

[@thomaswinzy]

Man Nikko is so good but it looks like he overthinks or something and just drops the ball. very fun to watch though. I like the angles he produces And Sexton is always great. It also looks like he's playing better again after the corona thing

[@justfixit5022]

Niko missing the putt for the skins win is priceless shut him up so fast lol

[@Forumrida38621]

By far the best skins since the slip ace great work everyone!! Can't wait to see the finale.. that's some crazy money

[@theycallmekayjay]

These new prodigy bags look good. When can we get our hands on those?

[@AmortizerYT]

Love the camera shot of the Sexton Putt on hole 14 great stuff GK!

[@eristicfreethinker2098]

Nice shirt Luke! Looking forward to seeing them when they’re here in Santa Barbara in August! Good Vibes all around!

[@neptun3189]

kat's subtle attempt at grabbing leaf :P

[@PuNaNy]

Nikko moved up a spot in my book. Clean with the lefty

[@jackreagan2081]

He also seemed more chill than I have seen him in a long time. Not a fan, but he seems more chill.

[@PuNaNy]

@@jackreagan2081 I agree. Happy to see him loose and having fun

[@beckystratton8248]

He gets a bad rep but I've been a fan since his last skins appearance. He may dish it out, but he can take it. He's just hyper competitive. Nothing wrong with that. So I say "Go Nikko!!"

[@nicholaswilson2668]

Did you see the front 9? Repeatedly yelling 7k on the Ace to remind everyone of his cut before the celebration was even over was the most annoying thing that he has ever done. And that's saying alot.

[@obscurereference6298]

@@nicholaswilson2668 It was very "dont forget about my money if you win"

[@OjaiBonsai]

No no no give the win to Gavin he won more money

[@palletwizard]

The hooligan site doesn’t work. It’s discs instead of disc. With a 3 disc selection pretty disappointing

[@kweirmeir]

Nikko's caddie has some fantastic camera awareness.

[@robinjames4334]

Another awesome skins match. Congrats on the ace. Miss the handlebar Luke!

[@385Nic]

What’s the new Ace Pot up to? It has to be pretty decent since they capped the other one at $10,000.

[@dclamp123]

What happens if a second ace is hit? What does the ace pot reset to? Apologies if this was mentioned and I missed it.

[@randygunk]

[@discgolflife]

I love these skins matches

[@Bigmikeyj]

Where is the goodest boy Hogan?

[@Falcon888]

It’s a park so I’m guessing they have a no dog rule. They also couldn’t do drone flyovers for hole previews as there was a rule against that.

[@mathewdon1490]

Love watching nate and Alex's forhands. Go iowa!

[@zandiskoul]

[@jacobryan777]

I saw Niko right after they played this and he didn’t mention a dang thing about the $10,000 ace hit by Gavin!

That's because he is a jealous narcissist.

Nikko parking it with the lefty backhand on 10. Sick.

[@GregoryM1]

Everyone, I'd love to know what the heck is everyone up with Nikko. He just seems kinda hot-headed, but still a dude-bro disc golfer that is hyper-competitive. He seems to get a lot of hate. Is there a reason?

[@felix207]

He takes forever to putt and calls players out during tournaments when they foot fault/make a mistake and break the rules.

HELL NO! Nikko was the only one that gave a shit about that!

[@justfixit5022]

Course not the dude has 0 class

[@Something_offensive_]

But they all agreed to that split before the round. Just like you might do with an ace pot in a weekly dubs round. Alot of golfers will call "hit and split" before the round starts.

[@DGDirk]

@@Something_offensive_ I understand the phenomenon, but Nate was talking about it right then, anecdotally.
