Paul McBeth Saves The DGPT

[@_mcdrew]

This sort of TD/Property Owner/Property Manager interviews are not something that gets done a lot. I think this was all really awesome information and I would totally like to hear another version at the next stops.

[@amburger4963]

I would agree

[@getdizzylike]

TD are so under appreciated and unrecognized

[@Arkathio]

Thanks for giving the crew the stage, letting them tell the story and keeping the whole thing close to the heart. Clearly it takes huge efforts to bring together events of this scale and we can all learn from the commitment we were privileged to witness. A huge thank You from Germany for setting the bar.

[@lordofflys7017]

This tournament was absolutely awesome to watch on joemez. I've watched almost every tournament since 2018, this course was by far my favorite. I absolutely love the idea of a country club for disc golf. Paul McBeth is so good for disc golf.

[@robertkitchens6341]

This is by far the best course on tour thanks Paul and Dylan

Been listening awhile to tdgw. This is by far a wonderful presentation. Keep up the great work swiss!

Cool behind the scenes. Property looked great this year

[@snate3021]

My right ear thoroughly enjoyed watching this video.

[@BeeeBeez18]

Paul is showing the Pro Tour up from his comments about the bomber courses. Leading by example and landing the 1st stop on tour, after Vegas was dropped. Beautiful place. Loved watching everyone play

[@hasongraham8674]

Was anyone able to deduce how paul saved the dgpt from this course retrospective? Did the titles get switched with another video?

[@jaynorris3631]

What an undertaking. I’m pretty impressed with what they have done in the time they had. Definitely a bucket list course.

[@youropionmattersnot]

Yup. I roped my brother into disc golf. I just started 2 years ago. I'm 58 and he will be 70 this year. He lives in the villages and is a retired life long amateur athlete. The villiages there in Florida just opened up their first disc golf course. This summer when I visit, Brooksville is on the books.

Nice job on this video, and congrats to the Olympus crew for such a successful event. Can't wait to get down there and play that course.

[@Riannacaswell1]

This course was amazing!! Love seeing what Paul and Dylan are doing.

[@shaned.6741]

I live in the area, been on the course many times over the past 6 years. This course is brutal. It's exactly what this sport needs. Other courses have seemed to get easier (or players have gotten better), and seeing players shoot -13 is getting boring. It's given members of our club full-time jobs improving the course. I can't wait to see what Nick has in store over the next couple of years. It has insane potential and could very well host a worlds in the future.

Props to TDGW for showing this organically. Perfect.

Like this format. I hope u do more TD and course creator interviews

[@truce11]

Well done - this could be a great niche for your channel. Interviewing meaningful tour stops

[@eveon101]

better video than i expected

[@mitchonthego]

I love Disc Golf because of the free access that I think makes the culture great, open and inclusive.

[@ERICWAGNERSLUCID]

Best course “by far”, anywhere! Will be great to host worlds.

[@Traubenjaeger]

I think this is a great idea. There are not many opportunities to hear from this “makers” first hand. I would like to see this for other courses as well! 👏

[@JTygerAU]

So much gatekeeping on here. PM didn’t just outlaw free public park courses. We all love them for the charm of playing in a janky public space and I’m sure that PM and the pros do as well. There are MORE courses than ever that are free and public. The 9 hole course in my town just got completely overhauled by the city which is awesome. There is also room for a higher end product. There will be a handful of courses that are at this level where the public can come pay to see what it’s like to play at a high end manicured course. Bravo to everyone involved.

[@deeproffitt2013]

Glad to see you find your joy!

[@timchuk4916]

I got to say, this is a genius idea by Paul. If there was a country club for disc golf around me in New Jersey I would definitely join. Anyone that is annoyed by having to pay to get on, doesn't mind waiting all day for slow players. I look at this golf as exercise, I would gladly spend a couple dollars to play faster rather than wait behind a guy pushing a baby, with his two children

[@cb3648]

You know even in public parks, you can always ask someone to play through, I mean if they are slow and don't ask you to play through they are probably new and don't know etiquette.

[@timchuk4916]

@@cb3648 go to a golf country club and experience how they do it. This is the future of disc golf . There's reasons so many people pay to play ball golf, and free courses don't exist

[@vangorder306]

Excited to see you there, Nick! There is a place for this kind of course which I didn't see at firstwhen noticing the rapid commercialization of disc golf. I am excited to hear what they are doing to the property. I do not want disc golf to go completely commercial with all pay to play courses, but I would like good property to be saved and diveloped for this use. Commercial properties will play a (big?) part in this. I want free to play courses to continue and thrive, so dont get me wrong, and as the sport grows I trust more will be developed. That is where the disc golf base is. Sad thing is, I dont think I will ever be good enough to really appreciate a course like Olympus through play, but am glad there are courses being created to challege this and the next generation of top players (and those somewhat??? near the top...lol) and excited to spectate and even volunteer in the future!

[@Kawwwman]

been watching this coarse for dam near 3 weeks now. im F`n over it!! haha

[@well_letters]

privatizing shouldn't be the norm. I understand some places need it, but I think that should be for rescue purposes, not the norm. one of the biggest allures to this sport is that it is free and conforms to the landscape.

[@deanfaircloth3916]

It’s a unique layout. It fits the mold for Paul McBeth, who doesn’t like golf course to disc golf conversions. That being said the DGPT should put their foot down against substandard tee pads. Golfers were slipping around all weekend. They should be glad nobody was injured. I know this was a quick turnaround, but there should be standards and expectations met in regards to tee pads and player safety.

[@jadonschwartz8598]

Dudes look absolutely exhausted

[@ulrichvonstomp6031]

I totally get the advancement of the sport but in a way am also saddened that it has put many courses out of reach for a lot of folks due to the access charges. My local course [which I was a large part of developing and building back in the day] is in a state park. Cost is very reasonable at $8 per day per vehicle or $36 per year for that vehicle and it's occupants. I sincerely hope we can move forward and still include those that might not necessarily have the monetary means but still truly enjoy the sport.

[@Rew123]

There will always be public park courses for beginners and poor people. That said, the harsh reality is that if you can't afford $25-50 to play a round of disc golf, you can't afford to be playing disc golf at all - you should instead be working a second job or increasing the value of your labor.

[@dehavendiscgolf]

@@Rew123You’re smoking it bro, disc golf is nowhere near $25-50 a round that’s absolutely ridiculous. I played golf the first half of my life and $20-30 was normal but still expensive. Even the PREMIER courses like Maple Hill charge like $10-20 and that’s a dedicated property with an actual staff. Nowhere is charging $25-50 and if they are they aren’t gonna be for long because they’re going out of business lmao

[@dumpsterlures]

Only thing missing from this course is a couple "fun" par 3s. Not a 200ft ace run, but a few nicely framed, basket visible from the tee, 350ft-ish par 3s.

[@BenCasperOwens]

I sure wished we could get some serious course help on our course "Route 66 disc golf course of El Reno Oklahoma" we have a great layout please give it try if your going through El Reno Oklahoma on Route 66 thanks for your time! Go get that ACE!!!

[@henrihell]

Left channel audio sounds like you have a bad cable or something. Next time consider just making it mono if one of the channels is this bad. It sounds like I'm watching in mono any way as the left channel lacks high frequencies and is approximately 12 dB quieter.

[@ErikZangron]

Everything about this course and tournament was Top Notch, except one thing ....the MPO and FPO trophies. They could have put more creativity and thought into them. Next year! 🙏👍

[@chupacabra8821]

Different strokes for different folks. Some people wanna play for free at the city park and others would rather not deal with a bunch of annoying people and pay to play. It’s not one or the other it can be both.

[@arr64lima63]

Presumably, as a permanent course, they are making improvements for the general public to play the course? You can't survive on one event per year. You need a permanent cash flow from green fees.

It will get use throughout the year. Paul and Dylan did an interview a few months ago that laid out their vision for the property.

@@chadbizeau5997 fair point, but when someone comes to a course in a different town, they feed into that town by buying things; like gas, food, maybe a shirt, or maybe a hotel room because they having to travel a ways to get there.

There are other ways to keep a place nice…course around me have volunteer days so that people who live close and love the course can give back. Plus most people will bit up trash while they are there to give back to the course. Just saying there are other ways to keep courses nice without having to have people pay.

[@chadbizeau5997]

@@leafhatonthetrail1038 yeah and maybe I want a little profit for the work I put into my course. So what, you have to pay. You have to pay for a lot of things in life. Those discs weren't free. Where I live most of the courses are pay to play because there is very little public land. It averages $7 to $10 a round and $10 to $12 a day. That isn't a lot to ask for for well-maintained courses. Most courses where I live also have clubhouses on them where you can buy discs, accessories, clothes etc. And most of those are helping out small businesses and families. There's a reason why Lewiston/ Auburn Maine and the surrounding area has been voted the number one disc golf destination by uDisc multiple years. I've been to free courses. Some are absolutely amazing, and some are not. Or you have to pay to get into the park which ended up being more expensive than what I pay for a round anyway... Like borderland in Massachusetts is 20 bucks just for me to park there. I can play Maple Hill cheaper than that.

@@leafhatonthetrail1038 Somebody pays somewhere. City parks are paid for by property taxes.

[@mjk-th2tm]

Private disc golf? Yuck! It’s that kind of elitist mentality that creates entry barriers for new players, just look at golf. It’s one of the biggest issues of US golf. All the best venues are private and most people will never get the opportunity to experience the greatest locations. In Scotland, most of the very best courses are able to be played by anyone. Considering the clientele of disc golf (mostly young, blue collar people) privatized disc golf is simply incompetent. We need to stop trying to make disc golf more like golf, they’re two separate markets with very different consumers.

[@Eyeslaylow]

This is wack I’d rather play in muddy, unkept, multi use parks that are FREE! Privatized courses, green fees, or country clubs dont belong in disc golf! If courses aren’t assessable no one would appreciate how good they are

[@A5tr0_o]

Hardcore disagree. Not every course should be private but they provide such a better experience.

[@bsmithhammer]

I wouldn't rather play in muddy, unkept, multi use parks. I'll happily pay a reasonable fee now and then to play an awesome, well-maintained course. There's plenty of room in the world for both, and choices are good.

[@mikejgolf1796]

You have plenty of options to do that. The pros need something you don't.
