Love seeing Calvin in these so we can see his full personality

[@brandonbrandino]

@@quazzydiscmanpretty sure the forums were saying it was sugma, do research before opening your mouth

[@marshalllucky1497]

Calvin & Gooseman are the best guests. Imagine them together on a practice round.

[@kobetimmons5149]

Like maybe they could bring back the doubles battle and go against those two

[@hippinakki]

Worst shot doubles would be awesome. I can already hear the smack talk@@kobetimmons5149

Go shock the world and walk out of there with the title!!!

[@buffetline2605]

Normal practice!!!

[@chillynewberg2652]

In response to your question on hole 2: I think a course should play its best, regardless of whether that means some holes get harder, some stay the same, and some get easier. For example, I believe it's hole 14 at Belton, TX. The near 499ft par4 with a 10ft wide fairway and 10ft tall ceiling. If that course is ever used for a major, that hole should have some trees removed to make a second fairway, at least. But for a majority of holes, I believe they could use a few more bushes around the green to make upshot accuracy more demanding, and more highlight putts

[@dseeburger]

Calvin has such a killer sense of humor. What a legend.

[@McSkinny336]

I’ve always enjoyed his “non-rated” personality. When he’s working, he’s a different dude.

[@joshwlk]

Ezra and Brodie are great players, but man Calvin is on another level right now.

Hey man I’m right here lol

Calvin is an absolute monster. Has been one of the best for the past 5 years or more

[@PitchperfectDG]

Calvin in these videos makes it even better!!!

[@mattlorelli288]

Random dude missing the putt at 13:03 was hilarious.

[@toftlife6839]

bruh that is so funny

[@davidparty9695]

Love having Calvin in the videos!!! Bring him into more vids!!

[@caseylawrence6475]

So stoked y’all brought the classic practice round style back, much more entertaining and really cool to get each of your individual insight into how you’ll attack the course. Keep slingin them vids!

[@myfinancialjourney1]

Oh man that attempted tap out by the group at the basket at 13:05 is freakin BRUTAL lolol

[@jacobpbarker]

Scoured the comments to find out anyone else who had seen that missed tap out.

[@michaeltaylor3351]

For real. 😂

[@bobbytables1976]

Love seeing the normal practice rounds again! The doubles/triples was entertaining but I missed seeing the strategy and practice bits and you guys are plenty naturally entertaining without the gimmick.

[@buffetline2605]

Normal practice rounds for the win! Thank you

[@TheSoftwareTutor1]

Also, Brodie, I'm impressed how you were able to develop professional level form in such a short period of time. I put in a ton of field work myself and I know how difficult it can be to figure out what the right cues / techniques are, and also to store beginner and intermediate cues into muscle memory. It takes time. I've been working at it for a few years myself now. Major props to you man. Serious dedication and love for the sport. This is very motivating for a lot of people I'm sure.

[@graysonfortin]

Course should definitely play harder than the original tournament, but not looking like it will

[@deadseriousmatt2987]

Love seeing Vinny join you guys. And yeah, courses that host majors should be significantly more difficult than their typical Elite/Elite+ set up. Grow the rough up, adjust the tee pads, and move the baskets around. And multiple pin placements should be a thing at all pro tour events.

[@Zumabrew]

Hands down the best practice round ever!! Love the dynamic between You (Brodie), Ezra and Calvin. And the special guests at the end. Icing on the cake. Thank you Gentlemen

[@landaday12]

Brodies realization at 37:36 (as Calvin birdies and the chains ring in the background) was hilarious.

[@Danny_S.]

Love the practice rounds. Man, Calvin is going full Vinny and it is great!

The Ultimate Frisbee forehand right into the tree is gold HAHA

[@kingdavey90]

Loved the cameos from Hebenheimer and Koling on hole 9 :) Hope everyone does well!

[@patrickschmidt4639]

Been a minute since I’ve picked up a disc, got back into it this week glad to see you’re still going!

[@apollion1]

its fun watching this. i was here last year for the tourney and i was able to see you guys play. i even made the jomez coverage. fun course to play. i lost my favorite disc on 18 in that clump of tree on the right from my drive. someone found it thankfully.

[@markmcgarity]

as a long time golfer, it's cool seeing calvin rockin' the two many days in may t-shirt! i played that place back in the 90's for the first time, what a piece of property!

[@bustatron]

Calvin is frigging hilarious. Every damn time.

[@RWPG]

13:05 dude missing a tap in behind them can’t believe it

[@bilboswaggings]

No changes needed for a major, but ofc change it if you are doing it for the course in general Being a major already makes it a bit harder with the added pressure For me it's about seeing pros being consistent at the given course and difficulty... also makes it cooler when you can compare different skill levels

[@chiebert290]

Bringing back the og practice rounds. Love it!!!

[@Dexecute.]

9:04 this might have been the best Ezra's form has ever looked on a short hole, keep it up dude

[@matthewessig8716]

If the course(s) are on Tour and respected enough to land a major, I think there is reason to keep a lot the same. But, if there are a couple weaker holes that could be changed/buffed or maybe move some pins to some tougher spots, I think it should be done for the difficulty of it being a major. I think there is a compromise between the two cause doing nothing to buff it/them for a major and changing TOO much are both the extremes

[@mawage666]

I'm only 12 minutes in, and I'm thoroughly entertained. You guys are awesome!

[@davisbs1971]

One of the best videos. Actually had me Laughing OUT Loud. Calvin was having a good time.

[@brandonlewis1170]

I think when it’s like silver series and other smaller events, I don’t mind the other format videos. However, agree seeing the course from your perspective on how to manage and maneuver the course is always intuitive and enjoyable. Especially with your personalities and the guest you bring. Keep it up.

[@arrowhead9027]

Calvin so funny standing there with his eagle before the video even starts😂😂 btw Calvin if u see this your new Vela is my new fav disc I got a Helio and champ one they are what a 2 year old beat In eagle should be thanks for helping me out!!!!

Got to meet Calvin at Jonesboro! Very cool dude..... Treated my kiddos awesome! Very cool content from all you guys!

[@russellquinn4285]

I was absolutely losing it during this practice round! It was so funny, love seeing Calvin's personality! Also, a course should only play 1-2 strokes harder when upgraded to a major

[@natew.6781]

Lol I always drop my like when someone says something that makes me laugh. Calvin rips a drive into the fairway and says, "I can't remember the last time I slept." 2 minutes in. This is going to be a good one.

[@DaveHen517]

I’d like to see it play a little harder, but real hype to see the GMC tracks as a stage for Worlds again. Entertaining courses, 2 very different courses, and a handful of contenders going in. Worlds week is my second favorite week after USDGC week.

[@dierkens]

Great job boys. Love the action.

Ezra you’re killing me man!!Get that back 9 loaded. Please😁

[@JordanRogers-u6z]

I think a course that gets upped to a major or championship should be upped in difficulty as well

[@Vanbulance89]

That was great! Look forward to the back nine. Hope Calvin brought enough water this time. 😁

Let's goooo!! & with Vinny. Hecks yeah. Definitely change the courses up for majors

[@levi6427]

I think the difficulty of the course matters as much as people think. The quality of the players play is what is attractive about watching any kind of golf.

Re: Hole7, I turned one over through the poles and onto the farm this summer (net wasn’t up yet), called the clubhouse and they have a deal with the farmer that they can go get your discs for you.

personally I'd like to see it stay the same. As an amateur player, I want to be able to go to a course and play the same layout that the Pros played so I can see exactly how much I suck

“You’re just all backwards today!” - hahaha!! He calls a tee a basket and a target a tee… dyslexic over here understood both.

Is the easiest par 3 the one Adam aced earlier this year? I know there’s a hill but there’s no ob risk and to many trees for much wind. And it’s like 190 or something so
