Welcome Back N Milo mber Beaver State fing Elite Series do anybody in I think wait am I even in the frame yeah I'm know you're centered I'm pretty close to not being in the frame let's be real we're scoring I don't know nothing on line we're just going to show you the back nine we're going to start we're shredding all right yeah we're both one one yeah so killer guys we're basically the same person uh if you look at us so whole 9 we're just filming it cuz it's cool and then we'll actually get started on whole 10 it's the dream hole it's what it's called you can lose your disc in the water long but very pretty some nobody missing every single Beth and Andrew Gibson decided to cut in front of us for practice round so we'll allow it this time but we're angry about it yo little function forand fd1 first first couple times throwing it it's it's straight oh it's stable we're fine we're fine all right I might throw mid-range where are the 500t force flexes oh it could be so good flip oh no water bound water bound no it's chilling it's chilling that's safe oh what a kick that's so good yeah that's that's the shot maybe maybe maybe you might just need to bag that one maybe good shot we try the midrange I think it's a mid that's pretty good we got to do one front shot I'll show you the actual line it's always a Spinx so high genon close yeah got to be a Spinx it's so flippy oh my gosh what a shot oh that's actually so good that's gross go get one baby what two series coming out here soon listen man we're in the works I've been saying that got any sneak peeks I've been saying it a while uh be on the lookout driver putter mid-range all right all three eventually you got anything coming out for your win at Portland congrats by the way yeah I think we're going to do got pretty lucky that week very lucky I got lucky exactly times more than the next person probably color glow PD coming out check them out very limited so get your hands on the whole collection while you can on this back n losers jumping in the water brutal punishment we're not playing against you cuz you're killing us it's okay I don't want to I don't want to be a part of thatch oh it's so good okay intro back in the back nine Holden Heiser straight Fairway driver part of the intro is distance is typically but not that important I guess just want to come right in off that tree and your money that looks pretty perfect eh he Roman I definely it's a little inside what are your overall thoughts on this course oh boy do I have to be honest yes I don't like it I'm sorry it's very beautiful it's very pretty property but I think the course could use a lot of work to me it's a little overhyped I think it's outdated in terms of like the disc off so they're having to make a lot of safari holes um I'd rather just play the two two different courses the original layouts but I I think if they want to have an Elite Series here you got to have it trimmed up there's a lot of untrimmed branches and Tall Grass it just doesn't look that good looks better by the weekend fun to play and practice hopefully they can make some improvements for the next year I went straight out I know I thought mine was money I might have to just throw like harder not a good spot IL legal babbe I don't know nice's a a very like swoopy motion too it's kind of like which isn't like the worst thing you can improve upon it yeah I don't know I think it could be like a little stiffer okay think you come like really focus on the follow that can help kind of at least get a consistent release F your throwing is like 1020 yeah I'm throwing pretty good what that's the hardest part about t he's got to be able to throw do you think that you'd be interested I heard I was taking talking to jigon and Evan Scott was saying how he thought it'd be cool to play like Friday one course Saturday both courses Sunday one course so it's three days but four courses they did yeah that's how they used to do it they used to do two rounds on Friday feel like that be I'd rather both rounds on Friday this teapad is one of the most iconic teap pads for me because it's the Central Coast disc golf 2014 Super card world's coverage this hole and it was a turnover like way to the right part three did you get it so sick no we didn't play it it was like 2014 yeah did you birdie it when you played it oh back in the day probably not ready washes was this was this pure shot no this is this is this is L do supp Portland open hole ready oh gosh no Jake I appr playing for jumping in the water so you're the man is that in the that's like in the other Fairway oh you didn't like it either no no dude I think that's the coldest water I've ever felt it's colder than this money you it's up there the it's so cold all he tell me if this is good you a heer flip guy Canon that's actually perfect oh that's so good cat merch does on this hole Yeah that's doing a lot for she don't throw it from this teeth oh see you guys see you man bye he you want to see him judge how I throw this disc this is going to be so stable yeah what original Infinite Run is that I think it's the first R what original mold it's a pd2 oh okay it's so beef about 15 minutes to find his disc in the other Fairway I can still bird I don't know if it's OB or not like it's not cuz we're playing for fun big old PD turnover you getting three yeah Nice Shot genon says 375 right there it's 40 ft away there's no way that's true that's about 50 long just not hezard this would be clutch for the confidence oh my gosh Jam I should just scream that uncoverage jam on like how can you look at this course look at the this hole here the Big Sky and be like yeah top five course in the world cut cut that's going in no it's not what the heck is this line you're are bleeding Strokes yeah I I personally try to when I try to smoke it it is not good so I try to keep things nice and smooth stay maybe like a little extra acceleration at the end but that's it yeah yeah my my Tempo from like probably I with a driver from like 400 to like 4508 plus stays like relatively the same and then if anything it just like slams through a little harder but it's like still just staying patient and steing back on it but I think staying smooth it's big so you're not running up harder you're just like finishing hard faster it's just still and then if anything it just comes through harder and faster that makes sense cuz that's that was the difference I think with the big thing is keeping keeping the arm behind cuz like if you are like trying to rip it you're just like throwing your arm through if you keep your arm behind and then get the body and then fire the arm you'll get like more speed wait this is go hold dude cut cut the video forand roller function I'm bleeding Strokes Folks by getting Powers against the best player in the world I was so lucky skip oh money let's put a hole we have three options but only one works are you kidding me can get one back here I'm only throwing one shot I don't even care to bird this hole why are you flipping so hard that's good yeah that's F I mean I'm not mad about that I'm going to be real with you Anthony yeah this not a bird you're not going to bird this any round no I got a I had 40 footer yesterday with a perfect shot got you just got to play for bar cuz I think my shot I mean I have a 60 footer like I couldn't it's just not worth it it's just not worth it the probability of you making that is like one in 10 maybe the probability of you missing the t- okay you Gavin that's you're not execute that every every round consistently every round definitely you don't like that t-shot I just threw cuz I threw it I'm two for two throwing it I I mean I want to see throw the low line that's fine that's so good that's money still looking at it yeah and you're not you're not going to Bogey the thing with the the high Gap is so much can go wrong I try to I try to break it down to where like okay if I throw a good shot like you said the best shot you've thrown got the 40 mhm and then percentages of you making that and then zero yeah worst case you throw it good and get a par but then I've tried going high and Landes of what am I going to take like if you get a kick left like you'll be thankful to get above it yeah C where if you just take a three every time s rounds it's going to average out lower than maybe you birdie it and then go bogey B like a birdie bogey bogey versus just three pars I don't know it's so weird but way back it's not even it's not even fair it's like just play smart like people just drop around you it's just it's cheating but what I've heard a lot is like getting a bogey is worse than getting a birdie is good yes no 100% that's true oh dang it oh my gosh oh it is definitely maxed out yeah definitely think I'll be playing that low line after looking at that cuz The High Line I like cuz it's like I give myself a putt just outside the circle there but this is same distance as that low shot was playing aggressive only pays off if you're good enough to do it yeah consistently good yeah shortest shot on the pro tour right now 197 ft looks like someone penciled in 230 so who knows but it's is a coal aole down there well let's range it yep 230 nice you say 230 the proor is known for just long distances and making us look like we don't throw near as far as I know like they always pick like coverage is so bad they pick like the wrong side like I'd rather have you make us look like we throw far you think md5 or you think splice I was almost just about to ask you the exact same question all right well we'll throw both You by two right now gon oh one that uh two I might go splice Gavin that shape's so easy I think I'm going to go splice I'm debating still between the forehand and the backand 75 just doesn't come out of the turn as quick am I known for these little uh you're known for these little like Circle two chippers good to know I'm glad someone knows me for it I don't for sure let get the max for getting beforehand inside route I me it's there on purpose you know meant to do that for sure it's definitely there I've hit the tree on the left both other days so maybe I wasn't planning for that Bob you missed that sign by a millimeter fire boy oh nice it's like a Thunderbird OS kind of is I need to hit one of these we're on a little bit of a drought one hole got to give it a chance the drought's ended I hate when I go in droughts like that man it's brutal feel feel pretty dry you know just I planning on getting in that water it's definitely not going to be too cold that's craz keeping Pace at least with these 90 Footers give a little hole breakdown gny yeah hole 14 is a hole and you throw it around his big tree and skiper right 323 you think doomberg 4 or pd2 I do all right that's so good long oh no perfect wow a little long I think if you come in front of that big tree I I would take that this is like a pretty tight line for the forehand almost just want to go backand at it it's S no oh it's money inside oh let's go oh that's like more than I deserved you have the forehand for it one those things where like you get the skill and you trust you have the skill until after you have the skill it's like a weird thing just trust it then how did I think of that you got to yam it do you notice you like keep your wrist weird and your reach back like if the whole course is like this dude it'd be insane guys it's Conor Rock I'm scared my enemy from Las Vegas to Shield him you c g I'm little scared I'm just going to go break the distance world record real quick you lit have to throw it backwards it's crazy this hold's a little a little perfect hole maybe maybe the best hole ever for yeah there's no reason to go more this in your GRE 18 Canon yes that's good heads up I'm going to throw one to and then I'll come down with the camera not even going to T myself with the backand on this one this so 76 foot par 4 it is like a shop where like legitimately you almost need to feel like you're throwing it backwards cuz I threw my flip like my roller disc and it still flexed out OB I think this one definitely I'm treating it like a part five seems like it'll probably play like a part five in the tournament especially if it baits people to go for it since it is a par 4 but uh yeah this is a I don't know not my favorite hole ever ever played this is like one of the only holes that I feel like I've gotten toour and been like not able to birdie hey get a good angle of this so I wanted to chat with Bobby because you had a really good season this year especially like your your rate of improvement has been really impressive so what have you been working on to make that happen um I feel like this offseason I really figured out I kind of understood my putt more uh I have a very unique putt it's kind of a push putt um and before it was really just like where I'm starting it out because I have this thing where I come down and my elbow comes in and then I have like a little bit of a pushing Putt and it would always look like I'm swooping way out and so that's just where my natur like naturally my shoulder wanted to go so I just now start it out there and so it's a little more symmetrical and repeatable and that's helped a ton and then yeah really just improving the backhand the forehand just keeps getting better and better every year I play uh naturally putting in work on the backhand keeping the mental game really strong and I've been in airbnbs this year so it's a little easier to eat healthy too so like what did you do you have like a regimen or schedule that you adhere to in the offseason to help you get better or was just kind of train as much as you could uh sleep in coffee go do some field workor for a couple hours usually go throw for anywhere from an hour to two hours no I was actually down Arkansas for the offseason and then go putt after that and then go grab something to eat and then go work out at plant Fitness and get a stretch and then relax and get the mind right and if anything just like sit I do a lot of like form review stuff so even when I'm not throwing I'm looking a lot at my form and just thinking about different ways to Poss get things to feel good in the swing so yeah a good couple of top 10 this season anything that you're looking forward to this year any goal looking forward to the European stretch and heading home here uh for a couple weeks in Iowa before the de Mo challenge favorite event with home crowd uh and goals I've already knocked off a handful of getting above 1025 rated so looking to get hit 10:30 and then just keep setting small goals so top five Podium and a win are on the bucket list for this year the tournament I did beat genon uh I beat I beat the whole crew at uh OTB so that was nice thanks D I appreciate it yeah looked good and then it hid trees okay apparently he said it looked like it was flexing out we told him to wait for us to who I guess someone else told him to throw but the crew in front of us oh cuz there were two groups ahead of us who were still like on the hole oh I didn't I didn't hear that yeah whose are these mine yours is a draco too no is there's someone up there with you or no I'm very scared where my other one went we'll find it he said he said it hit the tree but it looked like it flexed waiting for like a long time I know cuz they were they were literally just hanging out over here for like a minute trying to find this yeah Paul and Drew were here and then they were back oh really okay I think that'll play yo uh did you see it come out of the tree it went over the first set of trees that I could see and then it began flexing like it was going to come back to the Fairway how flippy is that disc you're throwing you just kind of R it's it's pretty neutral like if I throw hard flat it will turn but not it'll always like fight a little bit if I give it height we good yep folks there is not a good line good luck I might just might go a little Flex forehead and try to flex through in the Gap that was pretty good yeah y that was as good as I could throwing it oh it'd be a great hole if they they just put it fine 12 ft left of the tree well I think what they could do is there's a pin position up on the path back there they could make it a par five they could this is this is so hard to make how am I supposed to get under that ceiling oh my gosh it's so far wow everyone take a putt at it so far good idea good idea that's what that's what I was scared of doing that's like what I have to that's exactly what I was scared of doing oh nice maybe if I just stand stilled it I put two nose down I put way two nose down for this I know like this is one of those thing oh go oh like almost have to started out of that tree dude we're playing so backwards right now was this 16 15 Flex hole 16 661 dog leg up to the left really good hole what about the cpad position you like it I got no run up that's so bad not going to like that nope you got to go a little left but you really don't need to you just got to push it straight so dou G emper shout out Nathan we're improving dang it good how do you think scor's going to play this week compared to last week easier harder way harder really way harder you think I think this course is harder than L way harder he said he's going to bird you think he's got it the answer is no that's terrible a little spiky this is prime right here Prime real estate oh no what he will not be getting a stroke that flipped so much I thought I threw that perfectly oh man biry PFF from 100 through trees flexing oh it came out of my hand terrible not a bad run I guess it please don't make it please don't make it no no way okay it was just a bait to three putt second one that went in right no oh yeah I feel what's tricky with your timing is you're trying to extend your arm like that while you're coming up it's like here and then you're going like extension and Putt huh you need to like just lock it in place or have it straight welcome to genius hole hole 17 s your hole the course for sure 980t power 5 going down there's a tree down there it's 55 ft away get anywhere around that then you pitch across then you pitch onto very small island of wood chips you can get a birdie get back on a par or get back to even but make sure that I overheat myself so I go in the water and it feels good M they're not off they deserve to be hit oh that's money Hy it's pretty good you give me give me oh boy that's so be is it uh it's close that's not my disc it's definitely your disc is it it's got to be we're safe I knew it here we're going to we can go a little bit aggressive so good so good genon just want to be safe but take off as much distance as I can and not hit a caride oh hold better I'm playing FP today yeah you might be with that shot parked it I got to put it close not quite where you expect to be going mark that banzer I parked it it's not the best easiest Gap here oh that's the worst sound I'll have a pop for the five just so hard get up same sound as me oh no way oh what oh that's not fair oh kicked straight off there and came right back got to make it I got to make it no bang bang come on 825 super hard OB be right this year moved it back about 130 ft from last year Spike you might want to push far than that I can't bro that's better let's get some FL power Butts oh lucky lucky I like that line straight there's a lot of cars that way try to follow those Vapor Trails just want to be Center so you can have a look at the basket that looks pretty good yeah okay the basket this here is behind this tree all right we're going we're going to risk it for the biscuit Canon doesn't have any Strokes to play with so it's a really important shot right now risk it for the biscuit wait they're back there buto I don't care they've been taking way too long the entire day get out of here you nerds I'm playing I'm playing I'm messing around relax pretty weak skip but I think you're going to have 40 ft okay I think you'll like that I don't either I just I just kind of th thater long drive who is this guy I think I think that's the actual play would even go high over it kind of Spike Heiser I think you could yeah you definitely could I don't know actually I might try that with this disc it's not a bad idea what is that freaking razy with their car bro is that pretty good oh that looks pretty good pretty good I think you guys are both about 40 ft on other side okay put off I'm going to try to go the high route like you're talking about and see if it's viable it looks yeah it looks pretty high see if it's viable for me I don't know what that car noise was parking yeah that's what I'm talking about that looks so good I think it's if it got long enough oh Bobby Flex you know I'm known for my circle 2 Zone shots in my 42 did it's always so satisfying when like when you push a corner tight on a flex line that far outside okay this is for the actual one believe is it me yeah I think so fly committ I mean it's pretty close you can call it put the match on the line just okay oh still Gavin no it's you he's on the tassel dude why are these staying in the air so long we're at no elev we're at sea level yeah still got to go for it he's so good am I going to win by two what' you shoot like seven down in the back I air six six I'm on the back is psycho dude it's it's been a long day that's good that's really good yeah all right bodan is getting in the river with all his clothes on whoa we didn't specify that oh sorry I meant no clothes on I mean that's a different Channel okay we're that's not going in the video thanks for having me how you feel about the week uh I mean not amazing but you know we can still play good disc off we just came off a win so it's all right but it's tough it's definitely a tough track all the head's got a duck under one time is it cold yeah it's freezing you're cheating the challenge I'm trying to get in I'm trying to find a deep enough pocket to go all the way under oh God nice it's going to feel really good in like 20 seconds yeah go follow these boys you're the best bye
