Podcast Transcript
over this past offseason I've been doing a lot of work on distance and because of that there's not a lot of great courses in the Denver area that have a lot of like distance challenges or shapes that you need to throw on the pro tour so I ended up designing a layout I thought it was pretty good but today we're going to get to really put it to the test got a front nine here back nine coming tomorrow cuz we have you throwing righty now oh yeah I'm back fully back I don't want to say that but you decide you're going to eat my layout alive then and we got C on yeah I'm here too you still thr you still throwing righty um no we've gone left we're going Lefty today dude my Lefty is not bad so it's par 68 11,500 ft I designed it to like have holes that I thought were protour level but obviously I designed it so it could or could not be so I'm going to have to get your opinion on some of these it's going to be interesting I haven't shot under par here yet I've only played it three times and every time it's been like really bad weather I think you guys will be able to play it pretty well luckily you're playing it blind so I have some sort of Chance whole 9 I think is a signature it's like yeah I'm excited to see how you guys play this whole one we're playing from here that's basically the teapad playing over the fence and then there's a double Mando between these two trees and then we're playing into a basket that's probably another 38400 ft shot but all downhill anything we're put on the line or just playing for fun what's something we could put on the line I don't know I'm terrible put things on we could think about it throughout the front nine all right Tennessee 2 yes oh yeah let's go I'm so down for that I forgot I can't keep talking I'll throw first throw Zone hopefully it's good oh that's what be yeah I was going to say that's good that's why we're doing too B though all right oh that looks really good get left nope missed it so I was supposed to go left of that tree you went around it I went to the back side he big throw a safe shot and then go aggressive I think Ezra gets his tailor look smaller yeah probably yeah that's the play so you're not are you is it the are you trying to get through the trees long I'm trying that's definitely not long that's the stage I'm trying to get like just short of the trees and then you'll have a look down at the basket oh CU part four okay well I'm out here to play aggressive I was pretty I was pretty happy in my first shot honestly I just didn't if you guys do decide to come play this please make sure no one's walking up the hill we're professionals we take it very seriously we're not going to hit anybody be very careful there's a reason this layout isn't on you this cuz we crisscross like 10 times that looks better that looks OB is it really yeah all right well fine I can still get up and down from there I'm just going to not tell him OB from now on and then call it OB that way I'll have a chance at it Agro with a glitch ar oh my gosh who are you oh it's horrible it would have been perfect that was so bad aggro with the glitch I don't know if those words have ever been said before cool your bag is always so tidy just a tidy human thanks man we try to keep it clean I'm very jealous some of the parts you guys can tell me if you think they're good or not I try to make them on the harder side of things I have a couple holes that I'm like these are really good holes and a bunch of holes where I'm like these are challenging hopefully they're good here's here's the thing you don't need to make it a million feet to make it a pro tour hole he's already got OB path on the left and apparently I found that twice now so no first one you just missed the Mando I just missed the Mando I think my second one's in bounds is it it's got to be in bounds we'll see so why is it a double Mando if this tree is I don't know maybe it just needs to be Mando left of that but maybe so I'm about to get ripped his shreds lay I thought I had space over here no you're screwed the path goes straight yeah oh that's bummer I guess we're scrambling playing down to that blue basket that they're throwing at right now which is basket ho one I'm going to take it up here I get a little further sweet got OB left it's about 25 30 ft up the hill so you want to keep it right probably about 410 from here but all downhill so slower dis so Cole when you're saying that like it doesn't have to be 1,000 ft there are a lot of longer holes here one because there's like I want to train also like stamina yeah of like being able to play longer ones but my whole offseason was about distance so I wanted to make those distance sty holes so this is more like Co can't be more distance or no that's that's that's great I don't have a range finder I think I lost my range finder in Texas which is sad it's bmer just don't look at my OB stats from last year guys just don't do it hey they already got pulled up I think I had I think I had 30 plus 30 plus OBS at usdgc last year oh my gosh it wasn't great it's kind of impressive honestly it is impressive yeah I'm just an impressive player stabilizer that stabilizer is so stable is that so good that's so far oh it's so far Good Eagle you're so back dude you're so back May back that was so smooth and that was a really overstable three-speed I also I call this layout super bad lands too just cuz it's bad lands plus all right well oh my gosh that was beautiful oh my gosh much thank you appreciate it I'm going to get wrecked wow that was close 30 oh right off the top stays close stays close our second hole here is kind of a tweener Mall not for you guys this is why it's not a tweener this is why it called part three definitely go walk up and like see where it is sidewalk and in is OB so you can either play way right and like play it for a safe three or you can go for it it's like 30 ft past this it's about 380 uphill and if you don't clear it got Rey we kind of the basket should be right about here not the best wind to throw into it oh my gosh is that a little wde a little wide do you think I think it's going to be deep you're disgusting deep oh shoot but I want to be deep cuz I have no idea where it is it's like kind of risk reward where I've never really gone for it actually but I feel like I'm throwing farther than it was 2 months ago when I made it that looks good oh I don't know I have no idea where I'm throwing the D I'm just get over that should be fine we'll see this is one that I don't love but I love the third hole and I needed this transition hole the basket might not have been where I remembered it was I don't see any of our discs here though which is good oh you have to make it across the path you safe yeah oh well yep okay that's the difficulty of I'm GL see I got you throw hard enough that you don't need to worry about it got listen a little better I wasn't able to reach this when I created this layout oh yeah congratulations thank you I appreciate it deep circle two you're edge of circle I'm Edge Circle baby let's go and then Eagle is doing Eagle is back things are you scared of him now no you're not no yeah that little told me it's for sure I believe you Cole I believe you I'm glad I didn't know that the path was there cuz I probably would have thrown a lot jeez here we go oh gosh yeah you're inside breaking out the fist pumps early all tied up again did you just say to me if I had a better wind I'd try going over the water I I think it's 700 ft so doable downhill I've been watching Nick crush videos it hard okay he actually has some really good videos I think yeah no I like a lot of stuff from here par 4 to the basket that is across the water kind of through that A-frame the first shot is a landing Zone shot you have to get like in that little island the water sidewalks Drop Zone if you don't make it in there is the corner by like right above where that basket is and then the second shot you have to get over the path tree is 430 I believe as well oh well that's terrible maybe not oh by the skin of your you got the nice grass so the fist palms and the are coming out early play with fire bro oh that's perfect that a resistor that resist that disc was made for you made for him to get out of the water drop oh I see ripples RP just throwing six speeds 500 ft down the hill that's easy there that that that's got the spike beautiful shot beautiful shot Drop Zones are optional with Island holes they should always be optional well I don't think hey I wasn't thinking was going to throw that into the water I'll definitely give him where he went out but this is also not an island hole cuz it's part four so I don't know I don't think Drop Zones are allowed you don't reach inbounds you go to the Drop Zone but you did reach inbounds so you get where you went out you do mandatory drop zone at stroke and distance technically I think I have to give Eagle where he was otherwise he's going to give this layout a two I'm I'm I'm giving it where that's what I would I had thought about like that play you also have eag McMahon playing this and Kon playing this layout so you got to andbody has a PL slay out you got you got to like give us the hard tools Eagles back he's back baby he's back basket is across I think it's probably I haven't ranged it but I guess 440 from here 440 maybe a little closer I think it's a little closer I'm going to take that you got you got a range finder no did it drop short or long I have no idea where that is I think it just stay in the tree cuz if it drops short of the sidewalk you got to throw from where Eagle's throwing from you got to be kidding me no that's what I said sh end right there dude all right I'm throwing a driver you got a tsunami could throw the Roman again I think we're just going to stick with this Emperor my woo there so good Matrix that was em motion oh no no that was really bad that did dude yeah for 12 I rep him my score in this hole I've done it a couple times now it gets me every time should be so easy I'll say I'll this this property is sick for just gol course for a Colorado you said it's a dump it actually used to be a landfill wow that's cool like over there on like whole two whole one it can get real stinky I'm pting for triple Cole's pting for boogy Eagles pting for por impressive using that Mar triple he could have made the quad easy if you just L up oh oh I think about that next time good idea we're playing par five the tead is here okay we're playing oh you can actually see it the blue basket way down there it's kind of Cresent over the hill if you guys are right behind me you can see it through all the way over there so this path this path that runs all the way up here is OB be on or Beyond left the dirt one yeah this like first sidewalk does play OB as well but you can just clear it it's like 900 and something feet just because this first shot it is you guys can probably Eagle it if you get a really good rip out there oh GL he went first way Prett that's so good no way well we're safe no no we're not oh no oh she's stable try got a long long five coming up here this is crazy oh I really thought I was going to stay safe and it just did not you cannot care what other people think but still yeah exactly still who knows you think it's a part five you said it was a part five yeah you don't think it is I think it could be a part five okay we'll call it part five you said part five we're playing part five okay water that was so good dang it's a tough t- shot I mean you take the higher you Landing short and then you got a really long time I mean there's a lot of branches you got to contend with on a t- shot you know what I mean on the left side right there yeah I don't I don't hate it it's a rewarding Eagle for sure yeah this is a tough green too because basically the mouth there is like 4550 ft that's perfect oh my gosh oh might be a little deep now your circle you're like just been high left that's great sweet great shot thank thank you I also threw my second shot on the path it looks like so that's fun get bird this obes are just catching up to me that's sweet had like a ripping Tailwind great flip the way protor paints lines now that wouldn't be safe but you're safe it's safe oh no don't don't you OB that would have been OB okay dang reting unbelievable can't make this stuff up good correction car oh my God no nice birdie that's thank you all right we have to change this one up a bit I knew this would probably happen because of uh Tre is growing up but tead we'll be at the edge of this go all right you're nice shot go in oh that's such a gorgeous flip you long be oo jeez was that glitch that a lot go oh oh that's gorgeous nice sh I think I finally got a birdie oh get off of that g that's floating though yeah World Championship round two that was a nice DJ disc right there that was beautiful well Eagle's pissing what do you think so far you want me to be brutally honest yeah I actually really like it oh yeah that's brutal I think it's a good layout I think give eagle and I another snap at it probably around two or 300 this point M it's punishing but very very D why you're to back that's so far up to the blue one there no so we are playing this hole we're playing back to the practice basket you have a Mando uh double Mando in between these two trees play between those two trees and then you play back up to the practice basket forand turnover however what which practice basket the raised one the middle one okay perfect come on let me help you out here there you go I got I got some good I got footwork I don't need we don't need you restricting yourself today just pass the white one as he says yeah think you made it I think so you didn't make it dang come on lot of right to left for that stupid crazy amount of heer he puts on every single disc if he makes the Mando he gets up to that little Port potty house yeah it's gross oh come back come back come back come back you thred it OB oh really oo you trying to Surf that Branch who thinks they're better at doing the camera stuff me let's go I definitely think that second shot's a forehand I think this hole might I just don't like forehand so I don't yeah am I putting that or you picking it up oh you're putting this one you see me that's a stroke for you then pick it on my disc you feel like your forehand is back too or just the backand for now I'm throwing some touch some like probably like 300t for hands right now yeah but do you think you'll throw them much the season or like work up to that being a more power for hand for sure for sure I'm excited for it maybe some Lefty for like the big wide stuff but more technical awesome so this hole we're playing down to the blue basket it's 550 ft down the hill Par 3 there's OB Beyond it in a creek but it you have to be surrounded by water and we're teeing off next to this like basically where the flatness is cuz this teapad sucks you said about 500 it's 550 550 yeah Pine all day the best disc go forever sit down oh maybe oh be oh maybe not that tree might helped you feel like that's the right dis I agree oh my boy stay in the air so short oh it's great guys get down the hill I got 40 footer oh really yeah it's just so easy oh straight oh my that got down there so quickly how much are you betting me that you're out of bounds right now a good amount of money like $2 maybe like in my head a good amount of money yeah I'm not going to say anything gotcha because I can decide how much it is you know once I see where my disc is yeah yeah yeah I think we can get to EAS these now but these are incredible just threw it into the hill and still down here Cole might have no you're safe bro I I told you no what you dude why is this even a beat Doan straight up unlucky if you're in that water got have touch it's a good boundary to the hole I feel like but I feel like it's far enough you know having a tough putt from in here is is worth it I agree all right you convince me yeah I I don't know only surrounded by water good thing you're not if you were OB you would not have convinced me but you convinced me since you're safe nice leaning basket of pizza is this legal for you yeah enough thank you sorry 30 seconds oh it's so bad little breeze on that one so we're going to play double Mando at this gap which isn't super quieted but we're playing to the basket that's behind the tree up there oh part three yep part three we'll play that log as the teapad that's some good Course Maintenance right there Gary a Carson right what's that the name of the course is it oh oh sometimes it's just show as Memorial Park and I'm nice shot yeah I like that oh that's Gladdy oh yeah nice shot is that a matrix it's a matrix that's sick I'm really excited for you guys playing next hole I think that might be my favorite hold of course happy about the endurance right now yeah have you played a lot of like long rounds recently I'm starting to like I played Roy G when I was in Texas oh sweet play different like a 10,000 ft course cuz you're just walking a lot more throwing a lot harder yeah definitely a lot more stress on the nervous system wow what a putt oh no nice pot all right last s front nine here we're ending on I think it's an 1100t par five so this hole is Amando to the right of that last tree cluster up the hill the one Straight Ahead that's looks like it's forking out it's right of the trunk there the one right in the middle of big yeah either you can take open Heiser but this this like the tall grass here is an OB line on the right side so it pinches you there it's 490 to that tree but it's downhill okay and then the the like path that was OB left on that par five that was eable that's now OB left again on the other side and we're playing to the basket that's across the water the one that by the Hut the island no it's it's on the other side of the on the other side of the Hut there's a basket over there oh and there that is also like an island it's like island green where you take it where you went out don't flip over that's so bad get out of it OB that's it's going to be OB what are you throwing if he threes this I'm going to leave oh don't oh get left yeah I think you kicked oh no that was afraid of doing that was weak fast it though right no no oh shoot oh sick yeah you're safe probably probably the line right here no it is yeah definitely you're safe if you want to it's probably like 700 ft but you got it it's the path OB long yeah C I could do it with a torrent but not on the first try if I was the edge of that yeah I'll do it for you I also just don't want to lose a disc so this is I kind of want so far so do you really yeah I hit something at Al it like did a big scuff across the disc so that's why I like Drew this crazy face yeah you're going to like that a lot I it would be so legendary this would be absolutely legendary that's got it oh my gosh oh the th got it but it was so short there's never a chance of going that far I thought I'd threw that perfect dude I thought you just based it I thought you too wow that's not even close well you lost the disc you did what you wanted to do that was it so I'm happy that I actually threw it well yeah that's that was crazy I mean if you had a different wind I think you'd do it cuz you got 10 miles blown in your face I thought I was going to park it I look like you did park it that is crazy you are back you need to throw 850t downhill shots to be back yeah gross that's gross that's the disgusting thing to say where is my pink one oh I'm what the heck I went OB all the way down here no I'm shorter than Mando so I didn't miss it yikes well I could take it back from the line of the basket big definitely not the coal but I should be able to definitely not the coal but I might be able to cross and give myself a look to sa if the par it's going to be a tough fourth though I'm honestly glad I OB cuz if I don't go OB I have to from down there get around this Mando I have no shot but then I'm around that and two so maybe it is better I don't know I need to find a distance driver slot that I'm definitely missing between this and or any pharaoh and that Emperor here e do you want to throw real fast it's one by the house right yep resistor one left and safe up there I think just throw the same disc again maybe actually I really don't want to lose this in case I put in this new emperor that I'm not in love with yet got to go go wow I probably should have try to throw a full Hiser wow inches was that the Roman no that was the emperor oh okay that was that one that I didn't care about that I threw a be earlier on accident yeah oh that's so bad I think you snuck I think you snuck will be left what was that Tsunami Tsunami it might honestly be your uh your shock wave oh Buzz the tower that was sick top my back aha there we go yeah I think it was this one yep that's the one he already knew it was parked disgusting way oh my gosh Cole I'm living on the edge out here man that's a great lie at least we got a meter up against the wall yeah do it you do it that was too buttery no what are you guys opinions before we head in the back now got nine holes through what are our scores at cuz I just got another bogey let's see what uh udis the best scoring app in disc golf has to say about our scores Cole is at one under Eagle is at three over and Anthony's at 5 over what do you guys think so far I like it if I have a second round through cuz then I can understand the OBS a little better understand where to place the shots a little better other than that I like it the distances are fair the distances are good some really tight lines on some of the par 3s I agree I would like to play it a little bit more serious right now I'm just throwing my Dimension and just throwing as far as I can but yeah it's good good layout and uh a lot of shot making um good practice before getting P out up in the back nine go ahead and watch it hole 18 I think is the hardest hole in the course so every hole is felt a bit different which I think I really appreciate about so for sure and then we'll see if they think I have a future in course who knows
