hey Siri pick a number between 1 and 25. what no no welcome back to vidanta disc golf today we're at wanika Lake Disc Golf Course close to Boulder kind of by Gun Barrel Colorado north of Denver there's a 9-0 course here we're gonna do with a Twist because it's only 3.3 rated I wanted to make a little more interesting so I took the majority of my discs out of my bag including my putting Putters and I put in a bunch of random things that I never throw for instance a dxavr from a beginner pack so we're gonna have Siri choose our discs starting at one being the one that's in this putter pocket which is the dxavr then I have six more Putters six mid-ranges including some really weird ones 10 Fairways and only three drivers so 25 total discs I was gonna make it so that I could put with my Putters once I get inside the circle but what's the fun obviously like every course that I want to go to I want to beat par I'm hoping this doesn't give me too many bad shots but that's kind of the point of this whole thing it's 95 degrees out which as we all know is the optimal temperature for disc golf so let's just get it started hey Siri pick a number between 1 and 25. what no no it picked freaking one which is the dxavr I'm not gonna move any of these from their positions I'll just put them right back in their slot because obviously we'll know which number it was but we have to throw a 425 foot downhill throw with a dxavier what the heck we do have a Tailwind which should help to stable it up a little bit but this is yeah we gotta hope for par in this hole keep flipping wow that wasn't as flippy as I thought and it kind of got down their ways I mean the hole is tucked into those trees can't really see it from the T closer than I thought for the first shot we might actually have a look but this if it keeps giving me Shots like that this is not gonna be too fun all right so there's the basket there's our lies it says 340. yeah that makes a lot more sense we're not 40 feet we're 80 feet hey Siri pick a number between 1 and 25. 20. oh no this is a valkyrie that I found in the river in a previous video what the heck is this so there's a little gap between there I'll take it I just outside the circle big big skip pick a number between 1 and 25 five okay we got a putter that's good is the pure we actually kind of got a look didn't warm up putting it doesn't matter let's go that was scary what a wild party start why am I so happy I got a par but hey hole tooth 282 so it should be manageable with almost any disc in here just really have to manipulate the angles pick a number between 1 and 25 12. oh that's the second to last of the mids 11 12. oh it's a meteor we can flick it but I'm thinking just a big turnover line oh that's a great looking shot it's a little bit too much but oh I was very wrong this is way closer than I thought it was pick a number between 1 and 25. this feels like it get me so let's get number one oh this is the only one I don't want because it's lightweight it's 147 so birdie let's go under par in this challenge kind of funky that they've chosen one twice already all right here we are whole three 254 feet straight ahead of us there pick a number between 1 and 25. oh no the service is bad it says ten okay eight nine ten oh this is good this is what I bet it's emac truth if I throw this one bad we got bad things coming for the whole challenge still uh that's short I threw that it slipped out of my hands a little bit and a little too nose up all right this is honestly much further away than it should be we're outside the circle pick a number between 1 and 25. 20. again wait why are you 20 again the valkyrie again so drop oh hit some metal pick a number between one and 25. uh 19. okay so oh my gosh my Thunderbird which I do bag it's like my favorite Fairway but I don't bag it the pot with it so get in yes all right found a little shade honestly stoked that I have no bogeys yet nine all right 280 uphill straight up kind of by where those cars are so seven eight nine oh no it's the wolf not a bad disc for going uphill because this is understable meaning that when I throw it it wants to turn to the right when you throw up a hill you're throwing it nose up a little bit so it wants to go to the left so this should counteract it so I might just be able to pump this straight at it oh no it's still turning so much oh I I did not account for that oh my gosh that's where the fun of this challenge comes in all right I'm at least glad that I was right about the power that I needed to get up there just a terrible angle pick a number between 1 and 25 six all right it's actually giving us a putter I think Sky God four let's go it's short but it's okay it's a layup that way no matter what I can't miss pick a number between 1 and 25 12. again is that the third time it's picked 12. why does it keep duplicating 12 is the meteor Part Town on hole five hole five sign says 317 you just says 280 we'll split the difference call it 300 feet give me a number between 1 and 25 9. why does it keep sticking to these numbers no is it really give you the wolf again okay at least I should have a better idea of how to throw this did not throw it that way that is so flippy well I'm at like 5 500 feet elevation what the heck oh my gosh that's so bad give me a number between 1 and 25. it's at 12 again why that's so annoying that's it though sit stop rolling please 15. all right finally broke out of its comfort zone a little bit 15. no I hate this disc this is my least favorite disco challenge it's the freaking relay I think one that I got for being PDGA member it's all right it can make 15 foot pots at least okay hole six looks pretty fun 314 feet straight ahead of us onto a little Tower pick a number between 1 and 25. you're joking please tell me you can read it says nine again like why why do you keep making me throw this freaking wolf all right this time I'm gonna throw it like on this level of hyzer so it'll flip up this is so annoying that was not straight at it wow that flipped up so fast and still turned oh my gosh that's the worst disc in the world apparently I can't find the angle with this disc but my distances are pretty decent like pretty close to being in line with the basket pick a number between 1 and 25 20. it's kissing the same freaking numbers left it out way too wide if this thing chooses either of those numbers one more time I'm so done for sure should have just laid up but 15 20ish Feet's not bad pick a number between 1 and 25 14. hey it's a new one oh no it's a DX leopard I hit a whole freaking starter set in here now I have to make a 20-foot putt with a DX leopard and of course it's on the elevated basket get in pick a number between 1 and 25 19. again stop choosing the same number all right that one's in first bogey not gonna be bogey free and we're all back in their homes but at least we have that stroke together hole seven is right behind the right side of those bushes from here 238 feet pick a number between 1 and 25 12. look at why meteor if someone is good at math give me the odds of it choosing the same disc what has it been 18 throws and it's chosen this this three times another it is three times another just three times what are the odds of that out of 25 right at least I'm pretty sure I'd be able to birdie with this one start finishing more stay in the shade pick a number between 1 and 25 two okay okay my camera's literally been shutting off because it's overheating too much but I did also have to lower the frame rate so I don't know if it'll be S smooth I'll try to keep that smooth in the edit this way hopefully we'll overheat let's see what our next number oh our next number was two which is actually this wizard which I got in a tournament let's drain this part real fast or not all right it shows number four for us I'm sure you can't see that screen oh it's the warden that I brought because I aced with it nice all right here we are hole eight after another quarter mile walk going straight down the hill 278 feet pick a number between one and twenty five one again yeah someone's got to do the math on this let's get Ace why not DX AVR 147 grams stay up stay up and finish oh that's fine actually that's not bad I mean I got another 10 feet pick a number between 1 and 25. 18. haven't thrown this yet table three works as a butter not a butter a butter back to down one one hole to go 228 feet I don't think you can no you gotta Rock right in your way right around it on top of that Hill pick a number between 1 and 25. three giving us a putter for the short hole one two three oh I hate this disc I got this it's a BT soft West Side Shield I got it as tournament disc because I played it blind and got there the same day and there's only this left I think it's pretty stable I'll throw it around the Rock and have it finished towards the basket foreign not bad though I think we're in business you gotta be honest I don't quite think it matters The Nest this that I choose three one wait that's the same number it's the same desk all right there we go and with that we're two down which is not a good score if I was just to come out here and play throwing that wolf off the teeth three times almost in a row let me know if you want to see this become a series because this was a lot of fun to do it's a pretty friendly course to whoever want to come and play it but it is kind of boring so I wouldn't necessarily recommend it in this area there are a lot of better courses
