Simon Lizotte Complains About GMC Disc Golf Course

[@chrisvance8724]

This video is your channel at its best. Compiling and distilling hours of content for us. Letting the pros do most of the talking. Staying amusing and informative. Good stuff. Thank you. - now if you could only outgrow the click bait titles already.

[@skylerstoker5203]

This is youtube. If you want your videos to be watched there are basic rules you "have" to follow. Mr. Beast has millions of subscribers and still uses "click bait" titles so at what point does one outgrow them?

[@davidrobinson3161]

Don't agree with Ezra about what fans want to see. I love the shaped shots in the woods and then I'll enjoy seeing the longer drives on the Fox course. Smuggler's is as close to perfection as you can get for a two-course tournament. They're forecasting very little wind for all four days as well, so that should allow players to go for even more distance on Fox. Wish I was there to watch. It's my favorite spot in the U.S.

[@montiggs]

There were so many great shots during the brewster rounds. The stand still flex forehand, drifting controlled mids with late turns...ect. Fantastic

[@2Large4U]

I like the format of interview and commentary

[@henrihell]

Interesting to see the difference in mentality between a veteran and a newer distance thrower in Simon and Ezra. Simon knows he has the advantage if he gets to bomb 600ft shots, but still prefers the midrange in the woods that is a skillset a lot of the newer players haven't really needed to develop that much.

[@brandonm3122]

Love the channel, small critique, I'm 5 minutes in and most of what I've seen was already on your last video. Feel like I just wasted 5 mins re-watching the same thing. Thank you for you hard work though, and keep it up.

[@QalebGoz]

Why is this comment section so aggressive. Ezra didn't even say anything horrible. He just shared his opinion (which i disagree with) and there's nothing bad about that

[@trev3971]

His opinion is that disc golf should be a distance contest. He's wrong.

[@QalebGoz]

@@trev3971 he said he prefers distance courses. Not that every course should be like that

[@kimmomatikainen1843]

Haven't you notice how aggressive lot of people are over small things? Celebrities get life treaths, common usage of the world hate etc. People hate a lot of things. I am past 50 and I have hated only handful of things in my life. Dislikes etc. yes, but hate.. Ezra did put down and showed some disrespect towards many players by saying he is better than half of the ahead of him in points. That wasn't a very nice thing to say. He also said that his skill level is much higher. Wooded courses require a lot of skills, but he doesn't play well in the woods. To me that says his skill level overall is not there. He can throw far. I think putting players ahead of him down is what bothers people the most. But I agree that he didn't say anything that should be hated or cause any aggressive feelings.

@@kimmomatikainen1843 he's an athlete tho, he's supposed to be confident in his abilities

[@trev3971]

Lmao for fucks sake I’m tired of hearing pros complain about courses being too hard. Not just this tournament but the past few tournaments that has been the complaints. Especially about OB. Yo just play better. You’re a pro.

[@mitchellstocker8637]

When the courses become too hard, luck becomes the biggest factor. The cream doesn't always rise to the top.

[@todward3295]

I agreed with everything you said besides ob some of the ob has been so Fucking bad the designers should’ve got fired and why is the pro tour the biggest stage using shit we feed to horses and cows get the fucking hay bails off the course

[@kimmomatikainen1843]

@@mitchellstocker8637 If you look at top 3 players in each tournament this season. Pretty much the same people up there and the more rounds they play the more cream rise to the top. There is very little variation even in top 10. OB is rarely about luck. Some wooded holes with so much trees that even pros are saying that they aim at something and hope for the best after that have higher luck factor. With a lot of OB, they can choose to play safe and throw putters or midranges but without aggressive play, you don't win. Look at any tournament this year and top 3 has thrown -10 per round in most tournaments so courses have not been too difficult. Putting baskets on steep hills might bring luck factor, but if it is steep enough, then it is not bad luck if dics rolls. It is most likely to happen and it is luck if the disc doesn't roll. Or you can lay up or putt in to avoid roll aways.

@@micah7664 I think he has read comments and changed the tune a bit. He has complaint and whined about it for two years in most videos. What he has never had is really long distance. He has gained more distance in couple of years, but doesn't match with AB, Eagle etc. It is natural that game evolves and everyone comes to a situation when they can't keep up anymore. It can't be avoided. He has complaint about long holes and par numbers constantly In last video he was much more subtle and admitted that he doesn't have what it takes to do well in long courses.

[@kimmomatikainen1843]

People like different things. Lot of people want to see more open courses and long throws. They use the term "we" too. I have never understood who these we are when people like different things. I prefer woods, but even better if there is mixed woods and more open. I also like roller holes. Long distance, rollers, overhands, shot shaping etc. are all skills and I want courses where players need different skills to play well.

[@williamgraham6878]

couldnt disagree with Ezra more. I dont want to see dudes rip discs 600 ft. on big open fields with no accuracy. I want to see accuracy and skill reign supreme. it causes more drama, especially in the final stretch when the scores arent separated by much. makes for fun viewing. I think he is just mad because hes not a well-rounded pro. he can throw far and thats about it. Thats not a stab at him, it just is. people like mcbeast, issac, and gannon win because they sacrifice some of the distance for accuracy, and skill on the putting green.

[@sarinhighwind]

Jeff is right. Distance is cool here and there, but open field golf is boring. It's not an exciting shot when someone parks a 650 foot drive. its practically luck that everything went perfect for that to happen. Looks cool on camera. Does nothing for actual promotion of competition and golf as a whole.
