Thank You so much for tuning in to our 2019 USDGC Lead Card Coverage

[@zenbabaloo1931]

The back 9 should be fun if trainwrecks are your thing.

[@paladinto77]

Thank you guys so much for the coverage. Ken Climo is a true distinct gentleman. He makes it feel like we are watching golf. I think he is the best disc golf announcer yet. His partner does a great job as well

[@jamalydude]

We need more Climo!

[@mscudde2]

Climo commentary is amazing!

[@kevinuptegraft7970]

Thanks for the "Climo" change. Nice to hear knowledgeable commentary about the course, instead of avery prattling on about whatever. THANK YOU

[@jbrian24]

Climo has a great voice for commentary, and his insight into the game is unmatched! Well done gentlemen!

[@jfoster2488]

No for fault calls?

[@backhandok]

Climo is doing a great impression of Gregg Barsby doing a Climo impression.

[@Chris.Davies]

So good to see Albert Tamm on the lead card, final day. Thanks a lot, SpinTV!

This camera work and the way they film the player reaction is such a subtle thing but makes it feel like you are right there with the players.

[@skylersnook1224]

Thank you spintv! Overall, this weekend and coverage is like a second christmas, definitely better than worlds because of tradition and consistency at the same place. Also, thank you volunteers!!! Disc golf is headed in the right direction as long as course development matches the growth of the sport. Stay connected and in tune with your local parks departments people! Eventually I hope the top 100+ can make an honest living throwing the disc. Thanks again!

Quality coverage, but the caster audio quality is poor. They both have low voices and it sometimes sounds like they are just breathing warm air towards the microphones. Maybe cutting some low frequencies could make it work

[@russellemerson9657]

Ken Climo should start doing audio books. I really enjoyed his commentary; His knowledge of the sport is just on another level compared to everyone else. On a previous video, he mentioned that someone should have pitched up with the putter upside down on 18. I can see how he won so many championships with that level of shot selection.

Next time, put some whiteout on those Obs. How the hell are you supposed to see it? I’m sure it’s easier in person but it’s so damn difficult to see on camera.

[@mattsnyder4754]

Soto SantaCruz yeah. They’re in a no-win. With this much artificial OB, it either looks lame on camera, or stupid in person. I don’t blame them for going the route they did. They’d probably need 45,000 spray cans to mark all the freaking OB they put on this property haha

I wish you guys would update us on the chase card during the commentary. Because lead card is blowing it and I have a feeling someone from chase card is in first place through 9. It would be nice to know. You have to remember, most of us watching this coverage have no idea who won or what happened. I pretend I'm watching it live when I see these coverages on youtube.

Love the commentary. Can we lose the hole by hole course designer commentary after R1 though. It's getting really tedious skipping it on _every_ hole.

[@akronymn1]

To be clear - I really love having the course design commentary on round 1. It's just the subsequent videos where it'd be nice to skip it.

[@andristic]

19:51 high quality filming

[@KyleKnoblauch]

Wait.....Eagle really fractured his hand when he punched the ground?!? Maybe next time he'll take Champ's advice and use his non throwing hand to punch the ground.....

[@garrettjrussell]

The coverage was great, except the Duvalls speaking every round. Having them talk about an embarrassing course design like it's Maple Hill was a little too cringe. Really hoping they hear all the negative feedback and remove the gimmicky aspects like the mozzarella sticks.

[@pikkakard]

Study up a bit. One of these guys has earned his position in the booth by pushing the sport for years to help make what you're seeing possible. The other is The Champ.

[@MK212074]

because one of them is the greatest player ever and the other one is a main pioneer of modern disc golf media? good lord guys, chill with the slander on literally anything that isn’t Jomez

[@MK212074]

Ben Grave thank you! good god, I swear everyone in the comments these days started watching disc golf in the last year

[@mattsnyder4754]

Hole 3’s an awesome idea. But it’s a little too much. No one played it aggressively all week. Maybe if it was later in the round. But 3 holes in, no one’s trying that. They need to make either it a par 3, and just eliminate the first shot. A 350-400 foot left-to-right shot through those trees would get some action. Or eliminate the mando, move the basket a few feet and make the whole golf green a hazard (and the bunker OB?) a 750 foot par 4 with OB that tight to the basket would be awesome.

[@shawnnguyen9538]

Great round, good coverage. Def not big sexy tho

[@danman1980]

So sick of hearing about Eagle's hand, let it go already, obviously it is affecting his play so let's not ponder on ever hole whether it's affecting his play.

[@Mk-of8gh]

My feedback on the commentators: very american, both with very deep bass in their voice and a certain level of steady slow rhythm in their commentating. Reminds me of baseball commentators. I bet americans are very accustumed to this kind of commentating, but to me, it is very sleepy and boring. It would be more interesting to listen to commentators with a higher emphasis on the emotions of the competition, and with more insights to players strategies, rather than "empty" speech about the course or players histories. Just my two cents, hopefully I can give you my perspective.

[@fuzzylosophy]

Many KIndness to America and all it"s Goodness and Disc Goler Folk. . plays like Ground hogs day . I would guess that Ken and Jamie would want/need a break from repeating themselves for days straight. I w0uld like to hear from so many other players in the field and it seems to be a pretty narrow slice of voices who can commentate. I would like to Hear new perspectives every round I LOve 'm all just want More perspecives. after K and J give me there scoop I dont need to hear it 3 more times Love Y'all Keep Slaying it1!!

putting andrew on the screen was a terrible decision. He exudes the unprofessional look DG gets the reputation of. My wife who only knows disc golf through coverage I watch exclaimed, "WTF is this guy' and laughed.
