Podcast Transcript

welcome back to Bonanza disc golf we're in Kansas City baby if you see David you're in Kansas City we're at black coat disc golf course just recently designed and put in by Eric McCabe world champion it's like 10 000 feet from the tips we're gonna try to shoot under par and also try to learn our discs because I have a tournament in two days that I need to practice for but oh gosh back in the woods I missed this loser can buy lunch deal I always like being bought lunch it's always fun time I didn't turn enough that's gonna be money though yeah well I mean yeah it's a little short I went up and looked at the hole it looks like down through here down the hill the problem is like playing here at sea level discs aren't like crazy more stable quote unquote the mid-flight is just elongated because there's way more Glide that's not the gap oh baby that's early lunch is gonna be nice you gotta let them think that you forgot how to plant in the woods and then they get a little cocky it's gonna be quite The Learning Experience today unfortunately that shot didn't teach anything because I absolutely shanked it I don't feel like there's even a way to really get through forehand roller that gets down and curls around how's lunch today dang dude how's lunch I'm not as confident in a forehand roller as you just did yes man let's go inside the circle oh come on dude if I can make parsleys like that every time we're having a good day this one we got Obi basically all along this right side somewhere I don't see where but it's somewhere it's not really in play uh 525 foot Par Four luckily basically you could probably see the white basket-ish all the way down there through those trees it's up into the right of that map maybe about 100 feet I think so I think I want to throw my origin flippy mid oh gosh hey that's an up and down what am I doing my life that flipped so fast what is going on that's great dude wow that's really good see like that's not supposed to turn at all that's a really good shot but that's not supposed to flip and turn that's just supposed to stay flat yeah one thing we forgot to mention uh this is my first round with my new bag everything is new except for my buzzes and zones so then we'll be filming another video for his channel later today at a different course that'll go live Monday I think yep goat in the basket oh that's so good oh I probably should have thrown my Firebird here instead of the ultra just to make sure like even if got Heidi got a little more skip but the one thing I forgot to tell you guys is the reason that you've been seeing me Miss so many Circle two plus is because I'm in Denver but down here we make all those in our dreams 1047 feet all the way somewhere down there bar five let's go yeah well oh I hit my mic again oh no need to move it give him Fairway you might need to move it it's light headwind I think I want to try to get a fairway up there oh flip more dude jeez yeah I don't know how anything flies oh you're in the middle a great result though dude if that lands in the middle of the Fairway good night dude yeah there that's it that's the shot that's so good dude that's fine that's funny yeah throw up more downhill I'm thinking this like orange crave oh I slipped hit something hit something this little thing right there it's a tight little hyzer flip up this Gap I think I'm gonna try my more stable heat on this line no that was the flight I wanted I just shanked it yeah that's a really good shot great scramble dude we got a slight headwind pumping through this Gap actually a little more than slight Kansas City slight yeah could try to get a little greedy or just try to bite off about 300 320 feet that's what you want to do finally did a good shot that'll do all right well Pathfinder and I are kind of getting along down here I like it just backhand hyzer over the trees though yeah you do I do I'd say so because you'd rather Miss left than right so if you push the TR like if you hyzer over the tree line don't let it flip up yeah or Firebird oh a Firebird ah I missed it way left that was not a good idea that was not a good idea I was like what are you talking about now you have a foreign for me not a good idea for me it's a little short it's really short I was almost like did I just lose a second disc today yeah stay up you gotta putt that's fine that's another seven there it is let's go baby no get it up all right whole four par four 562 you can see it straight ahead in like the it's like in the shade back there so it might be hard to see but you can probably see it on the camera no B so it's just straight you gotta miss the trees hit a little out of position but I might be able to save birdie it's dumb yeah it didn't work what a total this is called Rabbit Run not total run sir this year on the wrong hole what are you thinking no so I'm not trying to get the birdie here but if I get down there oh oh my gosh oh David we're gonna take the same score yeah sit down let's look at this point I told you it's fine all right so this one's a par four 721 feet sunlight forehand but you also don't want to skip right into the treason right definitely realize that I've been playing Denver just called Throw your hardest every single shot instead of like learning how down Tempo and see how these just fly so I'm gonna try to play Midwest disc golf for these last however many holes center cut that'll do it's a little high patent pen backhand around this stuff oh gosh man how do you play disc golf today that's not it that'll play since like I said this is a tough course to learn your dance yeah I don't know exactly how much I'm learning but I'm enjoying things for the most part that's not it David oh that's so rough playing all those Colorado courses and not doing any good should never have moved there nice hop dude really good oh gosh what a weird putt t-sign says it's 450 straight ahead but the rangefinder says it's 435. oh gosh yeah let's do it that is that was here's a chance for putting on a clinic man it's a good shot get in it skip that will do I'll take that I think that Ricky Destroyer is going to become my echo Star Destroyer like in terms of how much I throw it because that is exactly how my echo would have thrown in Denver just don't throw on it'll be oh good call oh get over it anyways dude I need to practice putting so bad what the it's supposed to be a headwind all right hole Seven Cedar station 697 feet up the hill yeah that'll give you a look oh get back oh well crave it's a hard line yeah get it to finish to the right to cut it in Too Close get left oh that was so bad all right I think I'm done with this golf for the day just gotta keep telling myself I literally got five hours of sleep last night got in at 3am and I haven't thrown disc at this elevation in months so give myself a little itty bitty Grace at least it did nice hop easy peasy lemon squeezy bye bye disc oh I forgot how to play disc golf this last couple days thanks for grabbing that that was that was like I didn't even choose to do that my body just said I'm throwing that disc all right this one's easy 327 it's a forehand low ceiling but you want it to be pushing right the entire way oh yeah okay skip oh left not stable enough shoot I told myself I was gonna be dumb whoa oh sit sure yeah this was not the course to come and learn how to throw these tips I warned you but you wanted to play it and I I'm not gonna complain if you get it oh let's go so this one's like 475 on a rope and we've got like maybe uh 12 to 15 mile per hour headwind left to right that is not that was awful skip hey left oh not too not that far less Ricky Destroyer hard low anhyzer flip it up the whole way foreign why are you not flipping more I'm so confused what do you do okay that's fine okay there's kind of a little back door out that might give me some sort of look dang that's not it oh that'll be fine that works can you pick me up all right this one's 739 Par Four this one is probably the hardest hole on the course I think it's flippy yeah that is that's more yeah that is oh thank you did it kick out yeah I kicked out it's a little turn out of the hand I'm hoping it'll finish a little straighter than a Firebird uh just got to keep the nose down man I cannot turn that thing over man I suck at disc golf I'm so bad oh all right one thing I'm thinking is I feel like because I don't know how things are flying I'm under committing and that's making it even worse because I need to be committed no matter what so I'm gonna start trying to come into all my thoughts and just like trust that I'm not the worst player disc golf this ever lives on the planet huh oh flip through ah get it so good all right so this one's 374. par three it's just way less and it's like left like right off the tee box so I usually go buzz like a hyzer flip Buzz oh yeah oh let's go oh I hit the tree at the end and go Pathfinder I still would have gotten me like a little outside the circle if I didn't hit that tree thanks tree oh yeah generous so this round like part of it was like supposed to just come play this fun course but also try to learn my diss a little bit because it's the first time I'm throwing at sea level again because I don't trust them I'm under committing everything which means two things one I'm just throwing more shots and they're not consistent shots and also I'm not even learning my discs because when I throw my discs I need to throw committed shots so I'm not even learning what they do on committed lines so that's definitely the rest of this round I counted my tournament Mantra at the my third round of 303 which is my first like good round of the Season or a decent round at least I was like I'm just gonna have delusional confidence to everything step up and throw it like pick a disc I'm pretty sure I know what this does and then just like throw it with super confidence about that okay so that's what I'm gonna start doing here like even that shot had a great result on a decent shot not a great shot at all um and so we're just gonna keep working on doing that nope fine you might need to spend time getting to know your Butters because I feel like you're either like I say practice putting that's all it is oh that almost bounced back oh no oh oh no I'm gonna try a pure on that outside line man I thought I got it and then I hit that last stream kick way far left yeah that was looking so good no nose up you're on t-pad that was the line I just needed to go nose down so it'd hold Lany like before oh nice oh you're good yeah you're gonna patent-pend it with this inside Gap and I better not hit one of these first available because yeah let's go yes dang yeah I feel like I have just over 400 in so it's actually kind of gettable foreign oh yeah oh a little too far no dude yeah that's it all right there's a couple trees in the back stuff but I've done absolutely nothing of value in today's round so might as well cast this putt oh no I just took my devil in the first half he took your double on the back half so this one's uh 344 straight uphill it's a very low ceiling it probably takes about like a good 400 to 425 power until I get it up there I would guess on a low ceiling I personally don't know because I don't have that power and I've never hit this one that's not the left Gap but wow that broke all the way through I think you just tasted skip up that might I think you parked it well it just happened oh oh my God luckiest Drive all right this one's 338 straight ahead with blue hole the blue basket if you have a forehand there's like a small left Gap but no no Gap is really that big on this one so I just hyzer flip it nice I feel like I'm I don't even know like why am I releasing so early I didn't tell you guys the point of this video is actually to practice scrambling so it's actually been a big success and I'm just Hamming up my disappointment for the camera so sorry I had a tricky like that my bad see practicing scrambling is going very well oh yeah that was awful I was too afraid to like juice it oh I almost oh no 384 way far left again it's similar to that's like three the three pothole yeah the one where uh Anthony three-pointed on the hill I'm gonna go buzz oh come on it's looking really good if that tree wasn't there yeah I know foreign might be a long putt but I mean it's downhill so that's what happens when your forehand nose down let's go that was great no I've been missing those so right oh my gosh that was lucky all right another part four six eleven that is not gonna finish right that slipped out of my hand oh that was bad I think no matter what I gotta birdie this but yeah no it's not gonna push on hyzer I'm like I'm not throwing the disc down in the air today you're actually in a really good spot you could probably get a yeah you can probably get a good look at it from there I'm really just gonna go towards that white basket because if I get to the white basket even short of the white basket I should have a clean shot to get a up and down for a par oh here I can do that and uh have another scramble shot yep that's not gonna happen at least you're not getting a birdie well I guess you could throw it in at least I'm not gonna birdie yeah okay this is a scramble video you did it oh so good sabotaging is still gonna make me miss I finally remembered how to play this golf a little baby bit by smooth I mean throw it in the air you're in the Fairway uh how does one do that I would show you here but I have no idea what's gonna happen with this hold that oh man oh baby nice all right last hole 657 looks like just up and then straight left yeah it's it's really far left Pathfinder I mean if my forehand was working today or I was understanding how things are flying this is a really nice Flex for him no that's what I wanted to do and not that oh no foreign that's not it you're hanging out with me though yeah we're gonna be chilling well it's in the circle that was bad all right I'm still playing I was afraid to hit this yeah nice win where do you want to go to lunch um you're welcome for playing like trash much more to learn much more practice okay I'll see you tomorrow
