The sport needs officials to call fouls. Asking card mates to do so is equivalent to letting the shortstop call balls and strikes. Either have officials do it or don't do it at all.

[@musicman3x]

I think with regard to the Beehive hole rollaways, there should be a wall. It is a hole with a crowd looking to see ace runs. Players should be encouraged to try to ace it, not take the smart play and just set up an easy putt. If there is no crowd there shouldn't be a wall. They need to encourage the entertainment of it and not have player punished for going for the ace.

[@air-wreck-ahapp-eel6325]

@@seanmeier7953 Yup dang nerds. I think this Ohn one was a true example of what should get called. But the one on Missy for the foot rotating into the disc is where I see an issue. The rule should state that its the plant placement. Think if someone played with large feet most baskets players size 15 mens in the usa. Thats shoe is technically in size longer that the "sheet of paper" box.

[@earthman808]

For a drive. I would think with the motion in place as the foot lands on it is HARDLY an advantage. And it's actually kind of irritating to feel it, and also a potentially harmful thing to do. So, keep your eye's on the disc and help me find it instead. Thanks.

[@papigringo5692]

I call for a rule change: Stepping on or kicking your disc should not even be a foot-fault. It gives absolutely no advantage whatsoever.

[@nathanbrinson]

Stepping on your disc means you're getting closer to the target when you release. That's a competitive advantage in just about every situation.

[@jaimeperry7326]

not having to make sure that you stay within 20 X 30 cm within your lie without stepping on your marker on your throw is clearly an advantage as compared to just not paying attention to where your foot lands on the throw.

OH! I thought Ohn was trying to get someone else to call the foot fault so she could rethrow because it was a BAD throw.

I see a lot of argueing over the thumbnail. I love this channel and will continue to support them either way but some of us have jobs and kids and sh*t and don't have time to watch coverage within the first 24 hours. Then we open KZbin and, as a reward for being loyal followers of this channel, the algorithm puts this video right at the top as we're on our way to watch Jomez. Talk about it, put it on social media, whatever. But having it in the thumbnail is just dumb. I usually dont comment about it because the more comments there are arguing about it, the more likely they are to keep doing it. But it needed to be said.

[@boyogold]

Facts! STOP PUTTING THE WINNER IN THE THUMBNAIL! For the idiots that say it's a live sport and if you do not watch it live that's on you is BS! Jomez is a successful platform because many disc golf fans do not watch it live. The Disc Golf Network is over priced with terrible coverage. Many fans, including myself, enjoy watching the professional work Jomez provides the following day. It is unfortunate you have channels such as this one that provide great content but continue to play the spoiler.

[@mikeschroeder7042]

​@houstonturner5683 All sports are "live." If I were to record Monday night football it would not display the winner on the home screen of my dvr. If I wanted to watch a ufc fight I missed, Hulu wouldn't display the winner holding the belt in the thumbnail. Your argument is short sighted. It also has no discernable purpose. I hope to not have disc golf spoiled for anyone. What are you hoping to achieve? Being right in your own mind? Or perhaps spoiler thumbnails are just your jam and you want to fight to protect them? For the life of me I can't fathom why people not wanting things spoiled would make people like you feel the need to get all up in arms.

The very worst thing for disc golf is officials following cards. Period. If you don't understand why, then you don't understand disc golf, plain and simple. Disc golf is not like those other sports you follow, and trying to treat it like them is deeply foolish.

Foot faults in the fairway are just dumb to call when there is no advantage of being a few inches off. I say change the sport and make it harder by only allowing run ups on the tee. Stand still fairway would radically change the sport. Foot faults only on putts inside 33ft.

[@youmebornfree]

@@garnerthecube its like golf.. having the use of tees gives you a huge difference in your drive. If disc golf wanted to emulate that we could take away the run up. It would also level the field a bit too instead of only the 500+ arms dominating certain courses. Simon actually mentioned this in a podcast once and I liked the idea. I might just play some rounds to see how it changes my game. Only problem is the course I live around currently not a lot of par 4 and 5s.

[@coreydempsey4660]

The sport will not be taken seriously as long as men are competing in the women's division.

[@earthman808]

Um. Opposite day is in full effect here. Gatekeeping such as what you present is an immature attempt to be serious at best. As the transgender community is a percentage of a percentage in the disc golf 'community.' Try harder with an actual pressing issue with growing this 'community' where being taken serious is how an adult would handle it. As the competition would show time, and again with them there stats. What you are concerned about is simply not to be taken serious as mildly disappointed threat, like say. A certain Estonian who has been missing from the tourney while an 18 year old makes the run from chase card and stomps her way to a win. I mean. Look at the field this year, and actually how wide open it CAN be. And this doesn't even include the player you have your gooch all spicy about.

[@Alcofrisbas]

this is a point that can be made without invalidating Natalie Ryan's gender identity. Using language such as this is why those who oppose Natalies participation are often seen as transphobic. Question: if Natalie is a "man" competing with "women", why would she be actively taking estrogen, a performance decreasing substance?

With sports being a story tellers dream. Would you be this level of concerned where it were a woman who transitioned to a man?

Stepping on your disc shouldnt be a foot fault anyways. Would have been your lie if you had marked it.

[@eringallagher9381]

Sounds like a prerty good fix. If several top pros obviously have a problem hitting the spot (We see you Ricky) maybe it should be a little bigger. If it is obvious in some, it is likely happening a lot more. I can't imagine them intentionally stepping on their disc.

[@mikejones8866]

IMO, foot faults other than on the putting green are ludicrous. To seriously consider an inch or so on 200+ foot upshots are NOT a "competitive edge." Foot faults should only be considered on the putting green - period. Otherwise, employ officials on EVERY SHOT OF EVERY HOLE.
