I MISSED THE CUT ON THE DISC GOLF PRO TOUR..!? 😭🤦‍♂️

[@Munchylego]

You once said, “embrace the slump.” My daughter even made a painting for me with that quote. Just go for it and have fun. Eagle is right too. As a musician, caring deeply while not caring on stage is part of the gig.

[@chadbizeau5997]

I've started playing by that mantra. It definitely helps my mental game

[@JoshJackson13]

Eagle is wisdom

[@davycrocket4858]

I laughed way too much at that Eagle part. Idk why

[@JonMagnificent]

Just remember that you inspired a majority of your so-called competition. Embrace your seniority, Sensei. They are the students. You are the Master.

[@Snappi865]

[@paulotre5903]

This is the first Simon video I ever watched. Had no clue who he was and assumed he stunk because he missed the cut. 5 months later I circle back as a massive fan. Thank you Simon for what you do for the sport!!

[@Abcd124-g2v]

It was cool to meet yall yesterday... I appreciate you signing my glitch.. even though you were upset, you were still in a chill mood .. true professional 👌

[@frankiewawa]

Simon "whats the play here, Paul?" Paul "Straight at it" Paul (proceeds to throw hyzer) haha

[@johntuffy5721]

Fear not the hyzer !!

[@Scshupe]

New rule. You miss a cut, we get a video. 😂

I can get behind this.

This might be only video we get then.

I’m so in

[@jcunclejim1265]

Welcome to the club of aging! I'm 57, gave up rock climbing at 40, Mtn. biking at 45, and now enjoy playing DG at whatever level my body can pull off. It varies daily, but one thing never changes: YOU"RE only as good as YOUR Next shot! Always believe in your next shot, even if you just shanked one into another fairway- You got this- just park the Disc on this scramble shot!😉

[@ronjones-6977]

Amen! I'm only a few years older than you and my body flat out TOLD me I can't play as much as I'd like. Simon has YEARS ahead of him to still play at the top of his game. You just have to learn your body's limits as you age.

[@johnweber3578]

You are my favorite player in the PDGA I hope you bounce back soon. Yes you had a rough tournament but it's the beginning of the year. Cut yourself some slack and go out and kick ass at the next one. You have the talent and everyone standing behind you you got this my guy.

[@ChrisSuswal-de9tj]

He was arguably the best player on your in 2022 and had a great year last year considering he was playing with a brand new bag. Simon is going to be fine. He's not the only one starting slow in 2024

[@jordanandthesphinx]

SIMON is a class act…. Miss the cut and immediately vlog and face any criticism head on! Congrats Paul on the MVP sponsorship TOO

[@ghostrunner5985]

You have to care and not care at the same time is the perfect competitive disc golf quote maybe of all time

[@McSlobo]

Care about the right things in your life.

[@bixby9797]

manning up. miss the cut but find a local course and make a video working on the form. great stuff, guys. "Care but not care, grasshopper"

[@billmartinn9851]

Super glad to hear Paul has joined you with MVP!

[@unloughfulgaming]

He’s been there for a while! Before Eagle announced!

[@Fidellio13]

Got to see you throw in person at the BEAST and my biggest impression was what a hassle some fans give you and how gracious you are dealing with all of the attention during a high pressure event. You're the man Simon

[@ChrisSuswal-de9tj]

Hassle? What happened?

[@Fidellio13]

@@ChrisSuswal-de9tj Interrupted his practice putting to ask for a signature, that kind of thing. He was kind and rspectful every time I just remember myself thinking man I'd get so tired of that

[@diskounts]

I'm not gonna lie, I love videos like this of you (and others) playing random courses and just talking to the camera. Next time you should go play the 9 hole in McGregor. It's a blast. Hope you're doing well bud.

[@susiepittman601]

I must admit that this video brought me a whole new level of respect for you, Simon. I've often thought of you as arrogant. Now I'm thinking I may have been wrong. I like it when that happens. Thank you.

[@mccsnackin]

I feel like this is how Simon is in all his videos. When he wins tournaments, “How did I win that?”. Idk where you got “arrogant” from 😂😅

[@jimmyjam-vc6rf]

I kind of agree with you about the arrogance and this was an interesting video. There's something about disc golf that requires a lot of ego, confidence, and maybe even arrogance. You're doing something that is incredibly difficult and you have to tell yourself you're going to be perfect. You take your best guess and commit and believe in yourself 100% with no doubts in your mind at all. That's also incredibly hard to do.

[@mikeh7549]

Simon is like the most down to earth chill guy on tour. Its never about him, but about growing the game and encouraging young players. Much respect.

[@brotherknight1983]

I played in the first PDGA sanctioned tournament at Hewitt Park back in February. Overall fun course. Simon you are one of my favorite players on the pro tour. You made my week on Wednesday when I got to meet you. Keep your head up. You will bounce back.

[@SJ-ph3jb]

"You gotta care and not care at the same time" wise advice. Im watching this a day late so congrats on 200k subs! Well deserved

[@vega1221]

200 K BABY! Congrats and you got this guys. Dont think and just remember to enjoy being out there playing disc golf for a living. I think about playing even a practice round but dont have time with everything so enjoy and be present and itll come back no problem.

[@theodoremote530]

I think it’s important to have these Vlogs, and show everyone else what it’s really like out on tour even the bad parts. This was a perfect choice to make a video during this time/ mood/ etc. thanks for sharing it

[@jonathanmeinert]

Just keep grinding and you’ll be back on top soon Simon, root for you every week , can’t wait for you to hoist a major trophy, you deserve it and it’ll be a great day for disc golf when you get there!

[@douglasallen3]

Dang!!! I wish I knew you were playing on my home course!! I can’t wait to see this video!

[@noah4987]

Paul is awesome great to see him on MVP with you congrats Paul!

[@kevingross4141]

Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Go get 'em next week. Best of luck!

[@Eaglemadhatter]

Soo many good players today. I wish I would've kept playing in my teens back on the 90s. 😢 Missed about 20 years worth of playing. You're pretty good Simon and you'll do great. I'm rooting for Luke he's a favorite like you are. Let's Throooooooooooow!!!

[@robertjones1730]

These videos help us amateurs too! When I want to beat myself up asking why do I shoot like garbage sometimes, it's nice to see even the best Pro has off days. It's a normal part of growth

[@velttovee]

I so hope to see this kind of course where I live in Southern Finland. Like almost all courses near me has most of if not all holes tree tunnel shots with Waco style rough everywhere :D.. and add some elevation to that.. though when you hit the caps it feels amazing :D

[@StabBacker]

the round felt very mortal, I appreciate the level of humility that went into these throws to make us(the viewers) feel better about ourselves ;D

[@JohnMcColgansMusicalDrumming]

You will get it back, Simon. Simply KNOW that you are one of the best to ever do it. Then, go out and do it. (ps, huge fan and also friend of yer uncle Pete up here in Montreal. He is missed!)

[@joebrannon8843]

The People’s Champion & Paul! You made my year getting to meet you at the Bridge! Thanks so much for coming to Texas!

[@lizborgbowman]

Videos help. Have fun throwing those pretty discs, so we can sell more in our stores 😊 As long as we get Simon screen-time, doesn't matter if it's Vlog or JoMez. We just love you. ❤ Also, most of your viewers miss more putts than you do, so we don't judge.

[@itsstucat]

Paul, grats on MVP. well deserved.

[@bradsteed6833]

You should have played Woodway but it’s all good. One thing I noticed is that you looked like you weren’t having fun. Even before a round. I get it , you are competitive , and you want to do well for the fans. Go out there and do what you do. Everything will fall in line.

[@tyh3311]

Woodway has the worst baskets in Waco though

[@joeblow2426]

Yes-remember your own wisdom: “Embrace the slump!” Yes. Stop thinking about it. You already know what to do-just do it. And don’t forget to have fun and break out the Simon Line once in a while (as long as it won’t hurt your arm)!

[@lilnemoofficial5452]

Congrats on the 200k🙏

[@merk345]

Perfect advice from Eagle!

[@bobbert1220]

Love this Simon. Better days ahead. Hope to see you in person, hoisting the trophy in Portland.

[@aaronsnanigan571]

what disc did paul throw at 9:20? he said "an amazing gravity" aka a flippy dimension. Is this a new mold?

[@elisabethe8055]

Congratulations to your 200 K! That must be sort of redemption to the bummer at Waco. ;) I think it was just a glitch in your game for the weekend, Austin will make you put your pixels together!

[@carl33p]

Those highlight putts from the woods! That was top tier magic.

[@Newtperc]

Great to see Paul opening up on camera. You’ll be back Simon!

[@darbrandt3847]

As far as thinking too much, I like to think of something I read from a sports psychologist: "most of what you do is automatic"; meaning most of your form you don't have to think about, since you've done it so many times. Maybe just release point and speed. Good luck in Austin!

[@ilovegrilledcheese1313]

Camp Olympic hole 12 double mando ace. Nice dude.

[@Precisionfrolfmedia]

Thanks man how do you know the course ?!

[@sc3639]

8:15 nice putts guys!

[@nehpetsttocsnosirrag6227]

You have always putted too well to be concerned with anything disc golf related. I would recommend intense practice sessions on intense courses instead of the relaxing courses if Austin doesnt go right. Its time to get fully tuned in since the competition is so rough this year. You are still the greatest talent there is. Peace ✌️ ☮️ 🕊

[@GavinSwaank]

"Care but not care at the same time" beautiful. Try but don't try too hard. Think but definitely don't think too hard. Disc Golf is tough.

[@28MetalDrummer]

That ace was at Camp Olympic Park. One of my favorite local courses.

[@Precisionfrolfmedia]

Great course

[@ygsd5391]

Love Pauls comment about needing to beat in his pixel for a straighter putt! Looking forward to mine beating in as well in the future 🤝

[@landonwebb886]

Well Simon you better get top 10 next week or I’m only buying 3 pixels instead of 5… oops I bought 5

Sorry you had a tough weekend here - thanks for visiting though and you'll come back twice as sharp.

[@GABRIELGIESEL]

We all have slumps. Have fun when you play. And don’t let this week be a label on how you see yourself as a player. Even if you suck next week you need to love the sport and clear your mind of anything else. Keep your chin up Simon. And keep the videos coming. P.S. have you had that baby yet?

It's hard to explain with this vid alone, that Joey is not also a top tier pro tour player. Lookin smooth dude, that skip ace attempt was dope. I hope you guys find your mojo ;)

I retrieved your putter from yesterday! Hopefully they get it back to you. Thanks for signing my time lapses 🤘🏼

[@niklasschaab4763]

200.000 on point right now! Congrats to that and better luck next tournament. Disc Golf grows up fast and competition is going through the roof. Is it true that even Paul McBeth didn't make the cut? A year ago I would have said: Impossible!

[@SheadHead-nz6es]

Love this course. Thanks Simon!

[@anthonylombardo1306]

ghoststunner5085 yep , its the same woth batting in baseball. You cant care what pitch is coming , if you strkie out ,get it. Just hit the ball. Not caring about things you cant handle helps me just focus on the task at hand. Like hitting a tight gap.

You got this Simon your still amazing!!

[@johndevito4271]

You are to hard on yourself Simon. I know life's been stressful with new kid and contract and Eagle Videos and blah blah blah. Don't get frustrated with yourself. Get frustrated with life. Sure get angry. Head down and focus. Frick the world and all the eyes on you. Screw em all. Get out there and play angry smart disc golf. Light the courses on fire with your play. You already know you can beat anyone on any given day. Just do it. It will click. Play fierce tough disc golf. There is no competition. Only you can beat you. Don't beat yourself up. You got this. In 20 years people will still be talking about Simon and how great he was. Give them a show. A smart one. Simon lines are a bit crazy. Execute the best smart shots. You are the best in THE WORLD!

[@TREVORtheSAXman]

If you get a chance when you're in Austin I think you would love playing a round at Circle C. Super fun course and a good mix of shots.

[@Jon-wo4ni]

I’m guessing those other players had no idea who they were playing next to? 😂. Thanks for a great video. And showing you’re the real deal.

[@widespreadpermic9967]

Keep your head up, Simon!! You got this and you know it. Take Eagle's advice!! We are all routing ya on brother, congrats on 200k. :)

Sorry to hear it Simon but it's human to fail more then your succeed, but it made me feel better about loosing to see my favorite player not do so hot either. Life is weird 😅, go spend some more time with your family bro

Me and my buddy played this course before watching waco last year. cool to see simon play it.

[@gavinc6366]

The hip thrust ace was pretty wild

[@zethjin_66]

When you see someone losing confidence when they shouldn't, it's horrible to watch because there is almost nothing to do to help one get through it. Usually when it happens to me, I feel amazed as well and ask mysel what is going on. I think deep down it is always something in the body giving the breaks and mind cannot follow. You can be physically exhausted from training while you feel fresh mentally, and the other way around, both worsening the results and feeling like losing control hence getting unconfident.

[@Tatonka322]

SIMON!!! You need to stop saying to yourself that "YOU SUCK!" Words have power. You obviously don't suck. You're an elite level player. You also have to quit telling yourself that you can't beat someone. or you'll have to play perfect to beat them. Just like the bad weekend you had this last week. Others also can have bad rounds. Tell yourself your the best! Critique a bad throw after you throw it, figuring out what you did wrong. Instead of just beating yourself down. You rock man. M2C

[@fourcubed47]

Fantastic putt Young Paul.

[@alwolschleger7242]

Incredibly timely, as I was absolutely on the struggle bus yesterday at the B-Tier I was in. Snow and 25 mph swirling winds for the morning round, just above freezing and sunny with big gusts for the afternoon round. Struggled to figure out the conditions, struggled to put a complete game together, struggled to stay positive toward the end. When I got home, I poured some whiskey and reflected on the round; found the positives and reminded myself that if I could do those things, I can do the rest of it too, and then drank more whiskey until shooting 50 points below my rating was just a thing that happened instead of a calamity. Thank you for being human. Makes us mere mortals feel a hell of a lot better about being human as well.

You hit 200k. Grats Simon
