Simon Lizotte Talks What Disc Golf Should Change | Interview

[@zanierrules]

No matter the question, format, or intent, Simon is always honest in his answers. We all love Simon

[@mhoovair89]

This is one of the best Simon interviews ever. Nice job

[@JoshH6823]

Simon giving Matty O the shout out in the video is really lovely considering a few days later Matt would go on to win the MVP Open. Great recognizing great.

[@me36391]

Simon is probably the only sport athlete I know today that just exudes, hey I play a sport I love, Im having fun, and hope you are enjoying the show. Its easy to see why he and Matty O are heads and shoulders above most of the others.

[@ethanbrinkman3401]

Micah parsons is another one

[@NJT1013]

I can think of a few. Simon is so active on SM and such a great hype man he's leading that pack.

[@ethanbrinkman3401]

@@andyfessler8992 I'm a falcons fan but sure

[@D-PezPoopsie]

Matty-O is not even close to Simon lol

[@buckethead151]

There is not a better guy to live out all of our disc golf dreams! I love it! I can't wait to visit this brewery he speaks of in the future!

[@daveclemans4922]

I am 59 years old, and pretty new to disc golf. Where has this been all my life? And Simon Lizotte is possibly my favorite pro athlete of all time. He is entertaining because he is so authentic. Simon is unique.

[@joem8496]

There are so many good ones in this bunch. It's truly something special.

[@Holycow723]

A MAN OF THE PEOPLE!!! Simon is and will always be the best personality in disc golf.

[@buddydave1]

Once there’s a Simon-designed course with a microbrewery on site, the plans for my next vacation are LOCKED.

[@brixtondiscgolf4792]

Weekly recaps + these quick interviews with great questions is a great combo. Great job

[@jesselough]

I hope this guys dreams of course ownership come true soon. That sounds so incredible having a course and microbrewery both heavily influenced by simon. I’d fly out!

[@marshin7237]

First F bomb I’ve ever heard from Simon lol

[@ericjepson3765]

One idea I have about filming an event, or at least presenting them, is to have a mini overhead view of the hole on the side of the screen and have the disc represented by a small dot on the mini-map as it flies. Really help give a visualization of what's going on and be able to see where players land in relation to eachother.

[@endebtedone]

you guys are putting out some great content lately!!! this is a great chat. i almost said interview but this was definitely not an interview. keep up the great content!!

[@skip1860]

You mean videos

[@tjg555]

This was fantastic. More like this one!

[@NJT1013]

I love the idea of pros buying prioerty and building courses. Just dont forget us Ams, Simon!

[@kfbwizard]

I agree about media coverage. I think new courses need to be designed to accommodate galleries and have multiple camera locations on each hole. For so long we (disc golfers and disc golf clubs) were happy to get any land donated to build a course. Time has come to be more selective in where and how we build a course that will be considered for use on the Tour.

[@aidanparks5697]

Sounding like ball golf all over again

[@shawnhill4779]

The question was ... "Who throws the most creative lines on tour right now (other than Simon)?" How did Simon not say Eagle?!? That was the first name that came to my mind ... actually the only name that came to mind. Eagle picks lines and throws during tourneys attempted by no one else almost as much as Simon.

[@davidf.1940]

I agree... just watch beaver state fling or 2021 LVC if you don't believe it

[@glennedley]

Gannon is the name that came to my mind. They put a mando in just for him.

[@caleb_the_discgolfer]

Agree, even Alden

[@bclaudew3]

eagle and gannon come to my mind.

[@lemonadegrave]

Kevin jones, Scott stokely, chandler kramer. My two cents.

[@mikemccormick5882]

Amazing growth for you guys - what was your chance of getting an interview with Simon 6month ago?! Good for you.

[@JumboJabs]

That's the dream. Alot of land for to build your own pro disc golf course, a house and your own brewery. Simon knows whats up

[@outsidereids]

great video! thanks, Simon always so honest and insightful

[@brokenrecord3523]

Great answers. As for courses: shorter, more technical with at least two reasonable lines to every basket.

[@vega1221]

A Simon Lizotte Disc Golf course with a Micro Brew as a destination for vacation would be the best thing ever. Build some places to stay and do a "Stay & Play" package and he'll make up the building cost in no time. Simon's still has so much untapped potential in marketing. Great interview!

[@digital0785]

i would definitley hit a brewery / disc golf course.. those are 2 of my favorite things lol

[@mark2885]

Ok great format, great interview. Take my subscription. Looking forward to more.

[@rickfunk1355]

Great interview of my favorite Disc Pro.

[@seangalbraith6837]

Really enjoyed this. And great meeting you two at hole 8!

[@renehulgreen8650]

Hi Simon, I work at a top 100 brewery in the World, Amager Bryghus, Avery was there 2 times. Im a disc golfer, and if your opening a brewery I´m interrested !!! keep beeing you , chears

[@matthieudavis1819]

Love simons takes. He was my top favorite for years, still always root for him i just love matty O and Conrad so its hard to decide! Also id absolutely love to have some simon lizotte brewery and some double G jerky

[@b_rad6638]

Definitely The coolest Disc Golf Professional and @simon when you build your course I'm staying for a week!!!🎉

[@huckfu5557]

Matty O was my guy on that question also!

[@orowoodworks5413]

Drone flight following is one way to make disc golf media amazing.

[@Chris.Davies]

Some proofreading of your subtitles before uploading wouldn't go astray. In my view, what's currently hurting disc golf is DGN's diabolically blocky 480p20 coverage cynically being sold as 1080p60. I think the future will not be kind to DGN.

[@austinstreit1363]

I like the idea of purpose built private courses. Instead of the players paying for them I like the idea of the manufacture's doing it.

[@playdiscgolf1546]

For real, you have this disingenuous “grow the sport” from the manufacturers, when they really mean “grow our profit margins” lol. The courses around me are improving drastically, but it’s because of volunteers and tax dollars, not the disc companies…..

[@biga2057]

Great interview. Interesting take on filming events and pros buying property and building courses.

[@Dylanf12]

Need a Simon lizotte course and brewery

[@easy3discgolf144]

Great interview. One of your best videos.

[@marc4242]

Great idea interviewing players, great questions, and you picked the best guy to kick it off! Who’s next Matty O.?

Who throws the most creative lines? Jake Wolff. No one else is throwing his lines.

[@leowikberg4477]

[@Lucas_kdg]

Great format / questions !

[@Stradivarius6288]

I have a 2 year old.. Definitely hear you on Ms. Rachel

[@a.j.5108]

Great interview. I think we got to see a side of Simon that we normally don't see

[@feifeskufus]

he can't say "it's a Destroyer", but we all know

[@kimmomatikainen1843]

In Simon's case DD3, but of course DD3 "is" Destroyer. In that logic all overstable midranges are Buzzz OS and all overstable approach discs are Zones and all overstable putters are Pigs and all straight fairways are Eagle and so on. So you probably bag a lot of Innova discs with some Discraft discs like everyone else. Of course manufacturers make type of discs that are popular and what their team players need and want. I just don't understand why MVP didn't do this before unless they had a plan this will be used as leverage to get elite level pro to the team. It would be dumb not to make destroyers, eagles, zones, buzzz's, buzzz OS's etc.

[@joem8496]

It's way more stable

[@noahmacomber5970]

Jake wolfff has the most creative lines

[@martingriggs6362]

It's easy to see why Simon is the most popular disc golfer.

[@Modden83]

Great interview. Staight and forward Q and A's.

[@himurakyouma]

is there a way to get the picture at the end of the vid? it's very pretty

[@kerfuffle3740]

New item on my bucket list: go to the Simon lizotte brewery and disc golf course.

Welcome to Estonia sticker, nice! Albert lezz goo

[@realgoose]

Nice callout of Matty O!

[@robrosegraphics]

Simon is the best person in Disc Golf!!!!!

[@nathanwilson7929]

Just gonna say there is 77acres up here in North Georgia that may get flipped from a wooded agriculture zones property to a high density subdivision that would lay out well for a new course. 15/20 minutes from 3 different courses.

[@justinclarkson1189]

Hey same mindset! My name is Simon n im.a crush boy thru n Thursday! Simon my man! Love u bro! The mvp fact is 30min from my town n lots of fun course around! Love u Simon n really doesn't matter what ur throwing! U could show up to workds n decide to throw a specialized garbage can lid and guarantee ur taking the podium!! Love u simon and the lizotte family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🎉

[@georgereichardt5275]

This was the coolest alt content/interview disc golf video ever 🤘

[@kjetildg]

Filming; use the drones more! Look what MDG Media did this year. Actually showing throws with drones following the disc.

[@MikeRota]

Like #383 You're one of my favs Simon. I agree there has to be a better way to film disc golf to bring it to a wider audience. Hopefully someday that can get figured out. Glad to see bigger sponsors coming to the sport every year like Barbasol. Maybe someday Simon will get paid like Tiger!

[@th3f145h]

Great interview!

[@RasmusKerge]

Cool "welcome to Estonia" sticker .

[@rometrammo2772]

Bazooka camper?

[@PaulMarostica]

The Disc Golf World and Simon Lizotte: Here's something else disc golf needs. I invented and tested a device, the "disc whip", for flinging golf discs and flying rings farther than we can throw them. I made a 70 min video about it, giving it an epic, corny, fictitious back story plot. It's on KZbin in 6 parts, beginning with, "Disc Whip Invented By Paul Marostica Part 1". If you like it, maybe you could give it a mention.

[@mgoh1984]

I think the only time to run up on a throw is the drive from the tee pad. Every throw thereafter should be a stand still from your lie. This would eliminate foot faults and it's just like regular golf where you get to use a tee on the tee pad, hence the name.

[@eskimogolfer]

Matty-O is probably my favorite dude on tour

[@bclaudew3]

man i hope all that you said comes true. would be so cool.

[@andrews6323]

Drones would be the best way to film coverage especially in wooded fairway

[@timchuk4916]

Drones are the future for filming

[@airiqtibbits2387]

Someday I'd like to ask a pro--"in the long run, does the 'par number' actually matter? The only number that matters is the final score(unless you are that insecure about the number of boogies/birdies/pars/other that you card)???

[@brandongreen9381]

Drone footage would be a sweet view

[@joshwarner3926]

Simon line IPA. sign me up

[@EastLacrosse-ie4mv]

I would love to see an 18 hole, stadium course. Where every hole can be packed with spectators like hole 16 at the Phoenix open in ball golf. Even if every hole is a part 3.

[@skip1860]

Wow that would be dumb

[@elusivelectron]

Creative lines: Kevin Smith

[@Torch_Vs]

100% agree on the stupid clothing

[@briangregory8677]

Basically anything GG and Nikko wear....

[@McSlobo]

Bad idea to standardize baskets or teepads. In fact, there should be variety of different kinds of targets in the game. Then a valid target could be e.g. a hole in a wall or something really creative. No need to limit anyone's creativity. And teepads... the same thing. Some teepads could engourage throwing stationary or they could be uneven just to make things more difficult. Standardization would limit the possibility of different teeing places. Like, e.g., trees or structures. Also the surface can't be standardized so that it works in every environment. But what comes to the current rectangle like teepad... it's not optimal. It's never aligned correctly, especially for lefties. A round teepad, or a triangle with cut tip, would be better.

[@JohnnyFairway]

Somebody tell Simon, If you build it they will come

Player throwing the most Unique Lines = Scott Stokley I find him to be one of the absolute most entertaining players to watch because almost every single hole he's approaching differently to the rest of the field.

"Distance drivers are useless for 90% of players, that's why I dont have one with my name on it" Simon 2 years ago

[@bbwrenn]

Yeah, but ya gotta understand, this was made as much for himself as for you and me. He wanted a destroyer that he was allowed to throw.

[@thehungriesthipo]

@@bbwrenn "allowed to throw?" Is he not allowed to use discs not by his company? Sorry if a bad question, I'm kinda new to the scene and I'm gathering as much info as I can from old vidos

[@bbwrenn]

@@thehungriesthipo Oh yeah man you're good. That's right, his contract doesn't allow him to throw outside of MVP, Axiom, and Streamline brands. They didn't have a moderately overstable speed 12 disc in their lineup, which is many pro's favorite disc in their bag. The first disc of those specs (and still the most popular) was Innova's Destroyer, so many people call discs like that 'destroyer clones.'

[@quaxie]

Funny Simon has video out where he bashed disc golfer for the love of beer. Times change eh?
