Challenging A Local Pro But I Had To Play The Course BLIND! [Bodanza Battle 4]
Watch as I take on a local pro at Bodanza DG! Playing blind, will my skills win me the battle?
Watch on YouTubeJoin Elijah and his friend as they take on a local pro at Portage Lake State Park in Ohio, one of Elijah's childhood haunts. In this Bodanza Battle 4, Elijah has to play the course blind, relying on his skills rather than pre-shot analysis. The friends have swapped up their format for a fun twist: playing straight up on the front nine, with an added challenge on hole nine where they both bring silly discs and Elijah has no idea what he's doing. As they navigate the challenging Long layout, they'll be competing in skins against each other. With Elijah and his friend having the same rating of 943, it's anyone's game. Throughout their gameplay, we'll see Elijah's skills in action, as well as some hilarious moments from his playing companion. Tune in to watch these two friends battle it out on the disc golf course and find out who will come out on top.

what's your guess on what we're taking on this hole 11. welcome back to Bonanza disc golf today we are back pretty close to where I grew up and we're at Portage Lake State Park and this is Elijah he's one of my best friends growing up I got a disc golf in the van and now I'm playing for the first time in Ohio so let's make it happen so I am going to be changing up the formats of these bodanza battles just a little bit it's a lot more fun and interesting if we do like weird challenges so for the front nine which is going to be this video we're just gonna be going straight up except we have a little bit of a Twist on hole nine we both have a stupid disc in our bag for that last hole and I have no idea what any of these holes are and then round two we're gonna be doing a bag swap which will be in the next video that I post on the channel hole one 289 feet dead straight gotta get to a couple trees that's it so we're playing along to Long layouts not the most popular layout because it's pretty difficult considered the pro layout for reference Lodge is probably a little better than me we'll end up seeing today but with ratings updates today we actually have the same rating since he hasn't played so we're both rated 943 right now we're both very warmed up it says 289 right are these mostly accurate-ish no good yeah this is a tight little Gap to go through at the beginning I think we're going Mindbender because just put this in the bag just to see if it's all right foreign that's all right so in these Bonanza battles we're always playing for something because plan for nothing is not fun on YouTube so basically playing for a piece of plastic both times he brought some discs that I can steal from him to put into the box and I have a big box of discs that he'll be able to choose from if he takes it down let's get it straight through there you can probably barely see the top of it followed up pretty solid for a shot of the day honestly flip plays we're basically skins here playing for one disc is the same as a couple thousand dollars let's go my basket is like through all that somewhere over there Elijah's saying it's a forehand force over yeah I think that's got to be the play probably throw and explore one of my more flippy ones honestly River has less finish though but it's way more touchy you could do the forehand Gap or if you really wanted you can try to play over the short basket now we're playing for birdies dude hey we're playing for birdies huh we got sat down at the bottom but I'll take it it's a little high but I hit my line so that's what we're looking at all the way up here oh yeah skip up there that'll pot interesting little shot here go up this Gap I think the second Gap is maybe a little bit bigger that'll do it's 400 across we'll give it a shot so I'm between grace and Explorer on that then explore yeah it's a little too much hyzer they're a lot easier this is crazy I told you guys I know it's more oh yeah oh honestly not the worst kick I'll take it keep going oh yeah I had a tree and shot back downhill just heading straight up there I think in probably beforehand it's the play so I'm gonna try the razor cloth and hopefully it doesn't fail me get there our whole five is 600 feet 589 but we're calling it six whole four we're only hole four I love playing in the woods all the way up here we got parking lot and road so both of those are going to be OB so you want to make sure you keep it in there you got like a risky line if you want to try to go over the road or like a flex forehand and then it's like all the way down there by a tree all right don't need a ton I don't think so I'm just gonna try to do Flex for him with my Thunderbird oh get sneaky they're actually probably a big line over the road if you want yeah as long as there's no cars parked on that side oh get sneaky wow oh my gosh oh that's great it's about time dang I turned off the recording instead of turning on the recording I think yeah I've done that a couple times other shot wasn't good it wasn't bad down there playing for far gone Luna get a little stable Swing Swing Swing that'll pot that's inside a circle we had a long look if we want it with a little bit of headwind let's make things interesting stay up that's fine oh is it getting something what'd you do Mr Hawk transition to Elijah that's what you call the patented YouTube Hawk transition I've worked on that one for years finally made it happen here we had 357 right where the guy's standing a little bit past him but yeah he's fishing or something the question I don't know if I should throw a mid here or not I'm like comfortable throwing mids at like 340 and we are going slowly downhill but I also is there like water right behind it about 10 12 feet behind it all right I guess I'd rather be short then thinking I'm gonna try that Mindbender I didn't put my name on it so if I lose it and someone finds it here because I didn't tell her to move that was a nice throw thank you sit down Nice Shot there's a billion bees here well six 490 feet hard dog blade to the right don't hit an early tree all right River I think oh oh that's great you might be fine oh you might be a little bit you just passed that tree but that River oh there's a river right there no you're all the way up through here I don't have any luck where I am I don't know how much of a look either but make it happen straight to the ground stop oh okay the grass is thick enough caught you a bit I might be able to get my flippy Pier there but I think I'm even too pinched off bye Kaiser by Kaiser I think that's the only lug I got what just do I not care about too much did I come down came down it looks like you're about 50 short and on the right side I don't think you went in the water my shot is that your heart yeah oh yeah I'm pretty wide open someone threw a dinner plate on this one oh wait right it was a good bit it was just right nice nice all right seven we got like 400 ish basically straight through these trees that's why I set you up here there's a Mando and if you miss the Mando you gotta play from the Shorties um is it still Me by one three holes left this is interesting oh inside again same tree oh gross everything's hidden I almost walked past my desk and throwing the razor claw just to spite you I really hope you shrank it preferably OB vious that's a pretty nice throw maybe 20 feet get it stay up we'll eat 301 feet dead straight yeah get a little slippier oh yes that's fine all right we're gonna go Fairway here oh that's actually all right that's pretty Flippy you're good it's going in the basket still don't you dare not sure it's also shorter than yours wow oh boy Elijah before I got here was like hey you want to do a tilt only challenge for this one I was like yeah it's probably like a 250 foot par three that'll be fun it's a 675 foot par five and he just said that we can't throw it upside down and it's my box show me where the heck the hole is so that I can so I can take a 10. this is a great equalizer that's why you didn't mind him on The Strokes this is going to be interesting so it's way up to the right you look up like to these trees you can see the short tee pad so on the short t-pad from there it's like a hard dog Lake to the right oh no oh that might be okay I might be okay no thanks Noah for the Tilt by the way maybe not Fairway anymore what's your guess on what we're taking on this hole 11th Bowl yeah uh I'll take a six what would you be happy with uh triple bogey eight eight okay I'll be happy with an eight this is about to be so fun massive Flex baby oh it's so stable wow it's just pick a lane the one thing you know if you haven't done it so much is there's the skips are 90 degrees like if it's on edge it'll literally just go like that it's ridiculous oh I think I'm gonna try to be risky and try to flex it through this Gap instead of being smart and taking the very obvious forehand line actually I think I'm just going to take the normal no we're gonna we're gonna try to be dumb but we're gonna try to be good but it's dumb we're a good dump yes yes yes yes yes let's go oh it's so stupid if it worked oh yeah that's great Fairway we might be within 350. I could still par this I got three Strokes ah it's oh good kick oh that disc is so stupid that's a nice snap get around oh that was gonna be so good going up here into the right I think we're still almost maxed tilt distance out if we hit the right line so gotta keep the nose down I think you can get within the circle thank you that's great that might be really good oh honestly not bad that's that's a big brain player right there Elijah right there I'm inside the circle somehow okay you're on the right side though that's what that's the key this is for par oh man that would have been cool hey we both did better than the Snowman so we're happy so that is the front nine back nine we're about to film but it's not really front and back nine because it's completely different concepts subscribe for that video all right man what goodies are you offering Pig leopard three huckle up stamp three bird three F5 four series Buzz horse mantis vulture she's new ooh I think we're gonna have to take the nuke from you man it was between this and the pig but whenever there's a nice Tour series one that I haven't seen before I gotta steal it so this is probably going in the box so it's from Elijah he may or may not have stole something else from me we're just gonna say not but if you want to get that notion dispelled watch this video right down here and I'll see you there subscribe bye oh wait this video is coming out first that video later watch this one in the meantime foreign
