I absolutely adore the honest commentary. If something is really bad then it's really bad, there's no reason to say "oh that's so uncharacteristic of him/her" every time a mistake is made. Well done, lovely production all around.

Congratulations to James Proctor & his epic putting clinic!! Awesome coverage MDG media, and OMG what a cool looking trophy!! I wish American tournaments had such classy looking trophies. It just gives the professional polish this sport deserves.

Disc Golf is not stick and ball golf. The sport deserves whimsical and homespun and heartfelt love and trophies as much or more than anything professional or classy or sleek. Disc Golf and disc sports generally are counter culture and have their roots in the peaceful groovy part of the hippie culture which didn't go on to spend 5 generations of wealth and hold on like grim death to political power and social controls like both major parties in America have .. it's a game #spiritofthegame and a sport #growthesport that is of the common people ... Persons who aim for real peace, inclusiveness that is not divisiveness in disguise and just want to be helpful to others and have good reasons to be really stoked about their days.

@@revpgesqredux Wow, all of that because I suggested trophies at this elite level should be more like Sweden's trophy and less like the middle school art project looking trophy (like the one awarded to Eagle McMahon at the 2023 Discmania Open). Crappy looking trophies are all too common. First, I've been playing disc golf since we had to make our own targets in the '70s, so you're not lecturing someone completely ignorant about the sport. Second, the sport is for anyone, not your designated groups, not excluding groups you don't like, and it's not about your designated attitudes about life. You aren't the disc golf gatekeeper and, in fact, most courses are paid for with 'mainstream' public money, not counterculture money, and most are built in public parks so that anyone may access them freely. So please don't tell me disc golf is not about divisiveness at the same time that you're dividing the world up. It's ironic and hypocritical. Regarding trophies, a lot has changed over the last half century, and so should the trophies. Let's see, what else has changed...? Multi-million dollar sponsorship contracts for the best players didn't used to be part of the spirit of the sport, but now they are; having a PDGA number didn't used to be part of the spirit of the sport, but now it is; playing in a season long professional tour didn't used to be the pinnacle of the sport or financially sustainable for anyone, but now it is for an increasing number of players; professional grade, well designed permanent courses didn't used to exist, but now they do and are ubiquitous in the US, many parts of Europe, and will soon be in every part of the globe (contributions to the #paulmcbethfoundation help make this happen); discs with high-tech aerodynamic designs & high degrees of control specific to the sport are still a surprise for the average person to learn about, but now we have multiple successful companies competing to perfect disc design while giving countless people the means to make disc golf their living without needing to be a professional player; Disc golf used to be considered a children's bastardization of ball golf and then a stoner culture phenomenon (which beats the hell out of ball golf's alcohol culture imho), and disc golf still has the stoner reputation to a degree, but similar to ball golf, the pure love of disc golf has brought together people from any walk of life, including some of those rich and powerful people while still being very affordable to lower income people; Becoming more professional instead of amateurish does not threaten the spirit of the sport, and my argument is that some trophies in major tournaments are an embarrassment because of how amateurish they actually are compared to the professionalism of the athletes who earn them. A major tour championship shouldn't look like a local club trophy made by somebody's middle school kid. So sorry, but I think the sport deserves better today, and Sweden really stepped up and demonstrated what's possible with this trophy.

James taking these European kids to veteran school. These days it does take some tree love and some basket blessings to win at this level. I like how hard this course is playing. It does have excessive ob lines when a mando would suffice. It looks like an ankle braking course in the rain. I like how it forces standstill second shots. I would like to see how courses would play if you were only allowed a run up on your drive from the tee box.

Now after i see the results i see Eagle, Heimburg and Conrad was in it to. Hade no idea about that! Not a great tournament for the finnish giants. Antilla had 7 swedes ahead of him. Daniel Davidsson, who won last week and playes great, now ended at place 70. And Jesse Nieminen was + 9 as on of the last in the tournament! Sweden have many uprising players ritgth now. For 2-3 years ago it was just Linus Carlsson, now Sweden have 4-5 players as good as him. But still waiting for that superstar that Finland have got in Antilla.

Thx for the coverage MDG. I really hate to bring this up but can someone explain the extra planks of wood that is put up against the trees? Seems really weird to see this in the euro courses. Is this a form virtue signaling for the planet or is this a legitimate concern for the trees? If they were getting direct hits from a disc thousands of times a day I could see this as a problem but the discs are plastic and maybe get hit every now and then. Please someone come along and tell me where I'm wrong.

It's for protection, thats how "soft" Sweden has become..
@martymodus72053 ай бұрын
I've seen trees killed on my local courses by repeated disc strikes over the years, and that's mostly from relatively slow amateur disc throwing. So, if you want to maintain an iconic course, like Ymergårdens, that has mature trees defining many of these holes, it makes sense to protect some of the more vulnerable ones. The politically tinged suggestion that this might be "virtue signaling" made my eyes hurt from rolling so hard into the back of my head. I'll send you my ophthalmologist's bill later in the week.

@Josef1232343453 ай бұрын
I'm from Sweden and have played on many different courses. Maybe in U.S courses don't get as many amateur/newbie players per day as in Sweden. I've seen trees here without protection lose big chunks of bark on the exposed side. Why do you think it's a problem anyway? It makes tree kicks more consistent.
@brandonfbomb_23273 ай бұрын
@Josef123234345 in the United States, environmental protection is seen, especially recently as "hippie/liberal ideology." Disc golf is on the forefront of that mindset, so the idea that you should protect the trees at the cost of the throw is not natural in mainstream "American culture "
