Ohn is in my top 5 for favorite players to watch live. She is so friendly with her cardmates and she interacts with the crowd in a way that is professional but FUN.

[@Luffy-344]

Ohn has such a great outlook on pretty much everything. -Paige- People could really learn a lot from her.

[@dalereinhold640]

😂👏👏👏👏👏

[@lynch42o]

She’ll be forever bitter

[@paulmphoto]

Ohn is my favorite disc golfer, please have her on the show regularly

[@jaimeperry7326]

I was at Masters Worlds last week ... we went to play a fun round at Peter Pan Park as the FPO field was finishing up. My best friend and I were sitting at a picnic table as the women were leaving the course. Ohn just walked up to us and talked to us first, she initiated a conversation and was the nicest person. So happy she took down the win. She is a genuine person and acts exactly the same off camera as she does on camera. She is the best ....

[@listondavis]

Tour Life got Ohn'd! Great guest, she has such a great attitude, and I really like her playing style. Love it when she wins because her post tourney interview is always going to be entertaining, and she seems genuinely grateful at the end of a series.

[@daftdolfing]

This show is freaking killer getting new and old school players! Fire sauce!!!🎉

[@girds8710]

Ohn seems to putt with incredible confidence. She is phenomenal.

[@dalereinhold640]

Ohn is the best! 😂 So glad she came on the pod! Worth the wait for sure.#legend

[@heartquaked]

Thank you so much for the Ohn interview. What an awesome insight into one of the best to ever play the game. She’s not just a gift to disc golf; she’s a gift to the world. I absolutely love her gratitude!!!

[@discgolfd]

Ohn is the best. Such a kind and wise woman. Great interview!

[@JasonIBasri]

I’ve shown disc golf highlights to a few friends and they always point out KJ as something different and exciting. Hope he lands on top - he’s great for the sport

[@Daniel-from-Texas]

Must be old clips because he doesn’t make lead cards anymore.

[@Holycow723]

He just wants to be a DJ of horrible music now. I don't see anymore highlights in KJ future. To be in the mix you have to dedicate your life to disc golf. If not you will miss the cut and fall below the cash line.

[@Grannyknockers]

He has the best footwork in the game and it’s not even close. It’s almost poetic watching him float across the teepad. He’s one of only 5-8 guys that look like true fine tuned professional athletes when they throw the disc.

Ohn is a great player to watch! I’m already a fan so when I saw the video title, I let out an “oh shit” that prompted my wife to look at me and ask, “what? You ok?” Me: “Brodie and Uli are gonna talk to Ohn!” Her: “you DO NOT KNOW THESE PEOPLE PERSONALLY… fan boy. Me: “but it’s Ohn” Her: 🙄 Shout out to the wives that still love us despite our disc golf addiction 😂

everyone should take a life lesson from Ohn. EVERYONE. What a joy of a person, always gonna root for her, one of the best personalities and people in the sport

[@dashawnmartin9200]

I don't understand why water at the halfway point is not enough unless it was unattended and empty. You have a disc golf bag that can carry two large water bottles. It's a personal problem and lack of professionalism and preparation as well.

[@larryburge3567]

Des passed that water station twice in the 5 holes prior to dropping out. The water jug was completely full of ice water. The outside temperature that day was around 85 degrees. No other players experienced difficulty with the heat or lack of water.

[@daftdolfing]

Minimum standards should be met on super humid hot days. Overkill on water on that type of day was the safe and responsible thing to do. My employer would have been sued to oblivion.

[@eljay11to1]

He even said she’s had it in the past and is susceptible to it . Seems like it’s her responsibility

[@marshin7237]

@@larryburge3567 how humid was it? 85 isn't too hot to play imo.

[@aakoo4006]

Honest question: If playing an 18 hole round, at a tournament, with 3 water stations is dangerous.. how is it possible, for professionals, to train? Or anyone to play recreationally? I mean, your body doesn't know its a tournament. So.. you just don't play DG without refreshment station at every third or fourth hole? Seiously? I don't know.. I just carry 2x1.5 litre bottles, one filled with plain water, one spiced up with natrium. Sip from one at every tee and from another at every basket. Been lucky, no strokes so far.

[@MrGriffsAdventures]

We had plenty of water at Kanza View. 5 - 10 gallon water kegs plus several bottles at a couple of other locations. Plus 2 water spigots.

[@douggiefreshdg]

You guys asked Ohn how she keeps that energy for the whole round but really she has that energy 100% of the time on and off the field it seems like. Another great show. Loved hearing what Jay had to say too can definitely tell he’s got a lot of experience. Can’t wait for the next one 😎🤙

[@Mullet_farmz]

[@ericdochterman5047]

I was at Worlds last week and it was a tough scene all week. I play MA40 (not well lol) and we only play 2 courses rotating every day. They got severe rain 3 days before the start and it caused major flooding everywhere. The course at Olpe was completely flooded and was unplayable thru Monday. The event starts on Tuesday. The staff were scrambling trying to find another course for us. They ended up making some temp holes and separating the long holes into 2 holes at Olpe. They completed these changes Monday afternoon (props to the staff) but gave us less than 12 hours to practice a course before a World Championship!. However I ask you this, If this had happened to the pro field, would they have been so patient? They announced through email around 1 PM Monday that these changes were in effect and we had only a few hours to practice there (with other divisions that had to play there too). There was a spot they were filling in with rock for a path and when I got there I had to ride in the bucket of the truck to get to the next hole. Now I am a father of 4, full time worker who took a weeks vacation, got a hotel room, etc, and I took it with stride. Also since this is a true am event there's no vouchers or "payouts" so the player pack is all we get. we got 2 discs, a shirt, some beef jerky and another snack, a wood mini and another plastic mini. Nothing special especially for a World Championship. They need to make a unique and special piece for us to have from this event. Instead they gave us crap from a shelf in the DD store with a new stamp. My final thought is for the host (DD). There was absolutely nothing to do the entire week after your rounds. Everyone was asking each other what they were doing later and all the players said "just hanging out at the hotel." There wasn't a World Championship vibe at all. It was in the upper *90's all week with heavy winds so outdoor stuff was a no go. We (ams) just felt left out again. You can only walk around Walmart so many times before that becomes boring too haha.

[@bradlasseigne8436]

Obviously the pdga does what they want like a government figure but technically the course shouldn't have been used as per major rules course are supposed to be open a full 72 hours before tournament for practice. As for the payout we played ddo 2 years ago and was surprised that as an a tier, how there could be no payout and felt ripped off.

[@zachsnyder5444]

Ohn's pet peeve was my favorite pet peeve I've ever heard! 😂 AB's "Am eyes" is now in 2nd place for me

[@zachsnyder5444]

[@QaIeb]

Ohn is now my favorite fpo player. She's awesome

[@weedmanbrandon]

I adore ohn. And her attitude is something that inspires me to have more fun on the course and off it.

[@pallew]

How hard is it to have 1,5L or 2L water with you? And even the possibility for a refill at hole 8 or 11..

[@davidlasky214]

I wish Uli asked more questions about putting to Ohn. With both of them being so great at putting it would have been cool to have them compare notes and strategies. When compared to the rest of the FPO field Ohn's putt is so much better but she also is fearless and runs so many longer circle 2 putts which gives her a chance to get some strokes on the field. I liked when Uli said something like "If you aren't an Ohn Scoggins fan what are you even doing?" She is so easy to root for and so good for the sport. FPO is honestly as fun to watch as MPO in my opinion.

[@prattacaster]

What sets Ohn and then the Euros apart is the lack of entitlement compared to the majority of US players. Love their mentality.

[@thomasshamrock9731]

Ohn is so refreshing. She is legit an awesome person!

[@marcoshuerta8661]

Wow she's gorgeous ok Ohn I see you, great interview great show as always.

[@brockmartens9382]

Brody brought up a great point. Very people know what disc golf is and it made me think, "why don't manufacturers advertise more outside of the disc golf community?". Based on talking to others my age (late 30's) who have picked up the sport, they should focus on people who used to golf, but it's too expensive and takes too much time for a round. Bring up that a round usually takes less than 2 hours, the low start-up cost (until you get addicted to buying plastic 😅), and the enjoyment of striving for that "perfect shot".

[@Jason-Moon]

Everybody always says: "pick a pro and copy their form." I'm still trying to do a backflip after I putt like KJ.

[@bhirdietime]

I love your perspective on it being a good thing that so many people don't know what disc golf is. I consistently encounter people who have never seen or heard of discgolf, and it's a good mindset to think of it as an opportunity to share a great sport and hobby!

Man I was struggling in DGV until Ohn showed up and I started killing it. Ohn looking good too high key

[@shawnmiller9128]

She is my new favorite person in DG!!

[@555-mk]

The best way for US players is to tour all euro events. Proctor, Oakley, Edwards and Swansen will probably score good points from these events. I was quite disappointed that Calvin, E. Robinson, Clemons and Uli dropped out at the last minute. Kristin too but that was no surprise.

[@PeteEH]

Seppo named the Turku course layout "the stag".

[@fortmoney]

If the DGN is covering the event, a player can turn themselves in for playing the hole wrong, take the penalty, and then give an interview in the pregame show with Brian and Nate. That might give visibility for other players to also come forward. I know that DGN wasn't covering the masters worlds but that is a possibility on the DGPT in the future

At DGLO, once you walk down those big hills, there are no seats, bathrooms or refreshments.

[@AmortizerYT]

Not true, there is bottled water on almost every other hole. Each hole that has a canopy has a picnic table and multiple coolers. I volunteered out there last year and that was someone’s full time job. (Gatoring ice and water to the holes) As for bathrooms there is the main area by hole 1 and you have the opportunity to use it after hole 2/before 3 than after 14/before 15. Not much you can do out there for port-o-John’s. You can’t get them out there

I would go to a tournament, 1, if they had one in the west (Rocky Mountains, AZ, Vegas), 2, if it was cheaper. I’m not broke or anything but the experience I can get on Jomez seems like a better value than going in person. I am a massive disc golf fan though. If I was taking my family I would be worried that they wouldn’t have fun or that it isn’t presented as an “event” I dunno though I’ve never been in person

I sure think JK is good for PDG, and I have been a little concerned about his results for awhile and future with DG. I really hope he lands with Team Innova, I think he would be a good fit, but most of all I wish the best for him in whatever he pursues professionally. About KJ's game, IMHO, I believe he needs a course-manager with him. I appreciate his confidence, but I believe there are times he should make "golf shots".

Ohn is a boss for sure, if you're not a fan then what are you doing. on the pricing, I think Brody just used the wrong Baseball game as a comparison, there are plenty of MLB stadiums where the entry point is under 40 for a ticket. they aren't going to be great seats but the option is there. kids aren't always free but here in Phoenix they do have kids free weekends. here at Chase field they also allow you to bring in your own food as long as it's in a clear plastic bag(my mom used to bring sandwiches in for me and my siblings) and Unopened water bottles. so there are cheap ways to see professional sports.

I mean, you sort of have to be responsible for yourself though. Stay under shade. Bring enough water for yourself! Bring electrolytes! Bring snacks. Take care of yourself. You are an adult. I am a bricklayer and I can vouch for what this guy is saying. You must get ready for the weather like you are going into battle. Don't go into battle without having any equipment or training. You will not get very far. And about the 40+ divisions. There are always people who are making decisions for disc golfers who do not disc golf. Please, whoever you are, please either educate yourself or leave. I have worked with town workers who are ignorant about disc golf but want to make decisions about courses.

MP50 can play 11,000ft courses. Shorter tee pads don't shorten the walk. It just reduces the throws per round by a dozen. You aren't whining about the distance. You're whining about a +15 instead of a +3. Disc golf is not an endurance sport...at all. You have 65 year olds running marathons so you soft disc golfers need to suck it up. I'm 59 and will play MA60 next year and I am not in great shape, but my only regret is having to play short tees in competition.

Sure they don’t do everything great but the game has changed significantly in the last few years. There won’t be much change until this generation of player gets elected. There are a ton of “old heads” who believe discgolf shouldn’t change in almost every aspect of discgolf. From the pdga to the Pro Tour to local leagues. Discgolf needs action more so than complaints.
