[@Zeyervv]

When showing the player profiles, I would like to see the where they are at in the DGPT standings with the points they have in the season. Can you guys make this happen?

[@Ba4rden]

That'd be neat. Also, maybe a summary of the players' podium finishes from this season

[@tatewinters5565]

I'd also like Jomez to break their chain to DGPT company however way possible. The leadership there is questionable. I'd rather not have them taint Jomez more than they already have. I also could be over reacting so take that into account to.

[@JPRyan816]

​@@tatewinters5565Dgpt could probably take away their rights to film the events if they wanted to. That's a slippery slope. I don't think this would ever be a good idea regardless of dgpt's leadership.

[@chrispreperato5562]

@@tatewinters5565 Jomez is still operating solely because the DGPT bought them out. They were going to fold because they couldnt pay their media rights that they negotiated a few years back. For now, be happy that Jomez largely gets to operate as they did before...because DGN could have just made them fold up shop and do their own thing instead.

[@tatewinters5565]

@@chrispreperato5562 DGPT asked for wayy too much money. My bet is to price them out and force a buy out. Jomez wasnt experienced in handling that kind of strong arm tactic so he had no choice but to sign away his company. With their audience they could have easily leveraged a fair contract. But whats done is done. Doesnt mean I wont stop complaining though

The camera guys for JomezPro are MOVIN’. Didn’t realize there was so much hustle involved. Mad respect.

[@devonwatt2194]

Having Brad and his wild form in the intro was a great touch lol

[@Balanceiskey-nd6el]

Yeah I saw that lol

[@mjamesmcdonald]

You could hear Gannon's mentality in the practice round when talking to Paul after a first shot Paul wasn't happy with. He said, you haven't lost the birdie till the hole is done. "Birdie is still out there." Apply that same mentality to an entire round and that's why a slow start is ok. Because the hot round is still out there and he just keeps hunting it down.

[@forwardfollower2401]

That Intro was fantastic. A real homage to the greats, the legends, the players of the past, present and future. Hats off to Jomez's creative ingenuity.

Gannons awkward stance looks like a giraffe drinking water

[@Ziggy-md5ok]

Yep. That’s it!

[@rubberorr]

Someone should let the commentator know that it’s not keeping your knees buckled that causes you to pass out, but it’s when your knees are locked straight for a long period of time. They teach this to soldiers who have to stand at attention for extended periods of time. Keep a little bend in your knee to prevent passing out.

[@goosehocog1903]

Love Jomez. Best PDGA Coverage hands down!!!!

[@MDSF90]

After 3 holes I was looking at the leaderboard and there were probably 4 or 5 names I’ve never seen before. Lol! That’s pretty cool!

[@kevinvicks5349]

Gannon gave a great read/delivery for the intro! Composed and dynamic with a little edge, but not over dramatic. Well done.

[@donnyheinze]

I’m a simple man. I see Simon and AB and I watch

[@centrcutninex295]

The only thing the intro was missing was either AB or Wiggins, smashing a disc!

[@stevensteven6131]

“I don’t think Hobbits are real, are they? Apologies if you’re a Hobbit.” -Uli is the best commentator.

Did Gannon Buhr do that intro? Was fire.

[@jukkaalanen]

For Uli's argument about the disc on top of the basket. The links are just holding up the chains but aren't part of the chains. So they don't count! :)

[@playdiscgolf1546]

Lizotte on coverage? I suppose I will watch this week.

[@Joecuzzi]

Gannon did a great job with that intro.

[@FooMoDee]

Hole 8. Legit the definition of a Simon line.

[@kyleweir689]

How on earth is Paul coming to that conclusion when the rules clearly state “… comes to rest supported by the tray or chains BELOW the chain support”

[@lorenbarnhurst]

Yeah, I didn’t like that take. I would argue no ‘topper’ ever is in, regardless of basket type or chain ‘touching’.

[@kyleweir689]

@@lorenbarnhurst paul just parroting he heard some degen articulate tbh

[@Qpods]

The one argument I can see is if it’s touching one that’s lower than others. If there’s a chain support above the chain that the disc is touching, I suppose you could construe that it’s in

[@kyleweir689]

@@Qpods is that below the chain support?

[@matthieudavis1819]

Jerm on 9: No steeper hill off the tee Campgaw hole 8, NJ: hold my beer.

[@keithfriestad3949]

9 at Pickard is for sure steeper.

[@matthieudavis1819]

@keithfriestad3949 perhaps but it's also nowhere near as long uphill, and still at a solid 70° angle for the lines. Walking paths are there because climbing up straight I'd challenging with a bag

[@raunchbagger]

Legend has it, by next year this course will be upgrading to mach 3's for better catchability!

[@Arctic3OD]

I got curious about Uli's claim that if a disc lays on top of the basket and touches the chains, it's considered in. So I ended up doing a rule deep dive. Here's the PDGA ruling (807 B): "In order to complete a hole with a basket target, the thrower must release the disc and it must come to rest supported by the tray or the chains *below* the chain support." So no, I don't think that counts, at least anymore. I have nothing against Uli, I'm just a techical guy who enjoys finding loopholes and whatnot. Completely unrelated ruling that I found and haven't seen utilized: It's generally known that if you throw OB and your lie is in a place where there's OB between you and the basket, you can move directly away from the basket (optional relief) without an additional penalty stroke. Also works after a 2 meter rule penalty. However, the OB doesn't need to be between you and the basket. The restriction is that you cannot mark your lie in OB. So for example if you're on an OB line that is parallel to the line from your 1m relief lie to the basket, you can also move away from the basket as far as you want.

[@mikepitts8470]

That intro was pure fire!

[@ChefMeowMeow]

What an elite feature card. Looking forward to this year's DMC

[@joshgrant93]

My wife actually locked her knees at her best friend’s wedding and passed out right after they exchanged rings. It’s a real thing. 😂

[@nathanbitter1003]

Love the intro!

[@jonjobman6423]

Yo Paul, it's you never want to lock your legs. Like with solders in formation, when they lock their legs for a long period of time, they pass out. That also happens to grooms during their wedding. Gannon is buckling his legs. There is no way he passes out from that.

[@CraftedDirt]

"Good, proper wedding form" 🤣

[@austinwehunt2379]

Hey Paul the leg buckle is only for front to back not side to side. He will be fine! 😊

[@kaseblair5176]

Brad in the intro!!!

[@MDSF90]

It’s when you lock your knees. It doesn’t have anything to do with buckling your knees to make you pass out. Lol! That’s why you see groomsman, bridesmaids and military pass out so often. They stand there for a long time and lock their knees straight up and down. 😊

[@tannertagg7999]

Does a putt wedged into the basket tray count as good?

[@kyleweir689]

Yes

[@feelthepayne88]
