everything anymore no I'm good you think we made the disc golf pro tour baby well some some good people did oh my gosh this well okay we're here at The Preserve that's a little left no I take it all back it hit the base never mind all right so this intro has been a little more hectic than usual today we're here with Kevin Kiefer and Stacy Kiefer now I guess better known as Stacy Hass and we're here at The Preserve I'm gonna give a big shout out to Ben over at Prodigy for hooking up some media creds we were waiting on the t-pad Eric Oakley James Proctor Channel Eagle they all just kind of showed up to the T-Pain I'm like I am not not super warm throwing a shot off of this hole and holding them up so we're gonna start throwing on hole too and just get their thoughts on the last practice round before the tournament which is tomorrow hole two it's 318 feet super tight double Mando as long as you hit the Gap though you should be looking at a pie I'm actually going to go Justice I'm gonna throw it on a like a hard anhyzer and just kind of like pull it through the gap so that that is lucky I have a putt yeah those are similar ish oh first shot of the day oh yeah that's the first shot of the day that is yeah two off of one all right now I'm gonna go Trust decent clip okay there you go he's warmed up the thing is too straight now wow I need like a little more fade out of that disc nice are there any things you're thinking about since this is your last practice round versus your first that kind of make things a little different throwing less shots or what you what are you thinking yeah definitely definitely throwing less shots I mean my game plan is already set I kind of figure out my game plan Tuesday Tuesday Wednesday yeah Thursday is just just kind of like Smooth everything out make as many plus as I can because it can't hurt to practice more putts yeah especially on these Elevate baskets that's the one thing that like going into an event next week that's a Pro Tour event like I feel like they're gonna Elevate four of the baskets yeah and it's such a different like swing that you have to do absolutely yeah and then the greens are also a little bit tighter I don't know it gets awkward really easily you never see how anything flows until you're here yeah everything you'll get here when you're watching and then you get here and it's like everything's just kind of like someone could kick a tree and hit us off of that Barrel absolutely you know like you don't realize how close dude imagine that happens now what are you throwing on this one 408 honor like my stable honor and I'm gonna throw it on just like a touch of Anheuser speaking of we have unfinished business we do we have assignment I have to I have to sign that because we tied foreign 408 with a nine speed love it that's not humbling at all it's a little short but that's okay I'm probably gonna throw a driver man I love these t-pads I've been throwing on the dustiest in the world for the past week one big skip no skip any any more throws you just go I'm good you kind of throw in like one in this restaurant like it feels good you just leave it if it doesn't feel good you throw a second exactly we're literally just trying to I mean maybe even stretch a little bit as we play but not overdoing it on Thursday yeah definitely probably should throw it more than three feet off the ground you say maybe closer to four or five feet I like the four or five range oh Sonos down man I feel like these things will beat up your Putters uh yeah wow so I was way short nice just enough it's so good you start those out on such like a right in the top of the chains that's like really the key I think I know and they always just barely go over the rim hold for 746 feet this hole is actually pretty tough it's a very very technical second shot the goal here is to literally push it as far straight as you can and then a slight turn maybe move 100 feet to the right don't do that I think it's kept going that was bad oh I shanked it just love it next time love it that's what you need that's perfect we're playing that one for sure yeah first one I didn't like I wasn't bouncy at all with my steps like I wasn't athletic flat foot flat foot sure I like to just think Bend these so the Gap you said is kind of that Gap through there yeah I would lay up from here and that's perfect as you kind of keeper class of throwing forearms from last week this is the knee luckily got through the corner of the tree here I'm just gonna go fell in and try to skip it around the corner because it kind of opens up a little bit more to the right I just gotta go oh it's fun you like clipping those trees dude no joke I'm cutting them close and that will work yep that's what I would have done yeah I was thinking about that that's probably the line but it's like the anti-elevated basket it's lower I'm going with like a mid and I'm throwing it like a slight hyzer to just get through the Gap left yeah and hopefully have like a 30-foot pot because it's just so awkward part three 275 feet hit the corner but how close is that tree I want to say 30 feet wow oh that's bad close but not good can't be hitting the band on these high ones well six Par Four for the mpo and par five for the f695 up all the way to the right this kind of not like the signature hole here but it's one of them for sure I go backhand this this hole is so hard I would say this is the hardest hole in the course so what do you do if I bury it oh what oh that's a great question this is like one of the hardest holes on the pro tour so I'll give you any disc out of my bag get off it gotta go left oh oh dang it's yeah except for this beautiful Thai love getaway how's that positioning that's perfect it it was going to go too long but it clipped that bush and it slowed it down so now I'm in the Fairway there's always you literally could get in the Gap and then throw it in oh it's too early all right I don't think I get any of your discs this is when Bradley Williams threw in on last year dang Kev on the hill yes I look perfect oh looks okay right it's great cool just enough brother yeah that bogey doesn't feel like horrendous it doesn't feel good yeah but it doesn't feel bad like it doesn't feel horrendous it's crazy because you walk up to all these holes and we're walking to this one from the last one I'm like which hole is next which one's next and then you start to see the Fairway you're like oh I know what hole this is but walking up it's just like a path and a porta potty with a weird RV beautiful disc though I'm gonna get some that's kind of cute look at that we got Ty Moore that's adorable let's go that was not very good hmm no ways I mean that's looking but not we're gonna throw the CD one again that's great too high so close to being good dang oh my oh my word that wasn't lucky at all that no Goldilocks pull eight it is 111 feet par five main goal keep it in bounds that's just like the theme in all these Pro Tour courses my goal literally I'm gonna throw a stable disc on anhyzer just kind of Overland the whole way and then that should be good yeah that's perfect by perfect I mean slightly scary yeah that's perfect gosh dude I'm speaking like a tad bit too early that is too bad oh sheesh oh no bye-bye just gets sticky I don't have my little stick thing Dude full on like belly flop that's fine oh that might be farther than the first shot that was pretty clean I think I'm gonna be oh but that's so hard see look no I didn't push nothing no no you push the OB line because there's a white painted thing past your disc oh that's a good one I think you pushed oh my gosh you're right holy crap there's some there's definitely some green under it yeah that's hard yeah that needs to be just don't do that on the tournament yeah no joke second shot at this whole brother I want to get in the water because I'm overheated right now okay deal we're good thank you okay man you're like two feet back from your desk yeah after you rotated forward onto it where did it go ah more like it it's gonna be like 380 into the green though we're gonna try a roller oh why are you not as flippy as I thought you were I like it it's long I can see it Kevin can tell you I'm lying but I threw a little forehand roller out of the trees yeah it's a Bogue ski get in the air oh man alrighty man I don't even know what are you throwing I'm throwing a driver you're throwing a putter I was going Kevin Kiefer Pioneer but that was with some headwind I think I'm just gonna go honor go disco go get him back in the water hang that 406. we've been too chill maybe we'll have to like put something on the line for the back nine just for fun go left whoa why are you drop down stay up well okay why did that drop so hard in a headwind that was weird dude I felt like mine dropped too right maybe there's a left to right or something all right I don't that was that was not expected and we're in stiletto I'm just gonna crush it over there that's dropping too but that should be way over oh yeah oh there you go just too far right but not bad we've recouped all the discs you want to do a little little back nine something what are we doing on the back what are you thinking do you have your mic oh shoot yes I do okay it's in my bags coming we're back we should drop it in the water oh my gosh I imagine I'd say we just I mean we could play it straight up oh I like the idea yes I'm down straight up did we do an outro no we're just gonna add this to the video oh perfect oh okay I'll just throw first is there Amanda on the left side of that tree no Mando you just want to throw as far as you can I'm yeah I'm probably gonna go hyzer up the middle but uh yeah no there's no Mando at all yeah that's see that's all you need 1200 feet they're coming oh my God that was that is fine and it's absolutely crushed we're good we're good we're good oh my gosh dude dude imagine I just face plant though Kevin obviously got me by about oh why did I do that and you'll be okay right you'll have a hyzer from there shank shank still have a look yeah so there is an OB Creek that runs through it Anthony yeah I'm trying to just get over it to the left well that's over it and to the left just a little bit more extreme than I wanted okay 480. this is what I'm probably just trying to take we can try something oh my goodness why are you so flippy now okay wow oops okay well I not been turning that thing at all and so I figured hey maybe throw it flat to pan you're gonna pick it up for me yeah I got you thank you and he's been super it'll be frog okay dude there's so many frogs down here it's unbelievable I loved it out of my hand I was waiting for that thing to pick up and roll back down the hill imagine I mean that last shot for you though that's a pretty routine shot exactly a bit yeah I should get that every time once you're back should be two or maybe should be even if I just learn how to not throw it out of bounds kind of the signature hole of this place 335 straight ahead of us on an island you don't want to go short of it because there's water you have to make it at least on the island and then make a big play I think that's perfect oh yeah that's perfect that's long that's fine that's that's so long actually it scared me with the tree there not at all dude I might try just the CD one I've been liking this guy oh song came out you have to fix the exposure or something yeah just adjust it I love this Park yep all right no claps though what the heck they hate me they knew I'm not a real Pro they knew here I'll show you the little little Kevin keeper forehead and you told me oh okay go for it baby I said that and then my quads that's what you gotta user feeling it oh I love it oh my gosh still no plastic dude nobody cares like when we were playing earlier I was not throwing a forehand 320 and now that's just like a hyzer now you're just crunch dude that's awesome you're welcome this game is dumb shout out Eric Oakley on the last hole it's probably gonna end up catching us because we're throwing too many shots short no no how you doing down there dude I don't see either one of my frisbees golly day no way dude that's so bad well they're both bad about the box back 760 Tailwind you gotta want to push as straight as you can right as far as you can yeah yep exactly I am thrown so low you're gonna love that though it's just not far yeah that bunker you're gonna be okay bunkers and Bounds okay foreign really bad lift yeah I'm just laying up at this point all the way through there so disciplined to just lay up I think I probably got a little too far of a ways no Maybe not maybe around 390. that looks good you gotta stop talking to my desk oh I'm sorry Anthony love it yeah that's great so let's go are we good all right straight ahead 348 into a headwind I am throwing an Explorer um you can go mid-range here 100 but I like going fast because of the height like that let's go strike then why why does he play so good when like we put like Stakes up or something because it's because it's how you do it that's just how it works like if there's pressure on it you're supposed to be better right I guess foreign yep unreal dude wow right when I went to putt the wind picked up hole 14 1058 feet like that is money like that is amazing yeah but should still be good just be Flippy oh it looks great oh it's perfect yeah that's funny what you think it should be no it's money oh good okay you said that's OB 370 headwind right to left you're doing all the right things to it's a little short but that's okay short but it's just got to get down I think it will yeah oh that was a that caught the weirdest Edge I probably should have thrown a driver I don't know home oh oh bye-bye uh oh yo Matteo oh do a systematic this is fun uh that Grace oh was it yeah I've been throwing it just to try it out and then um I was like all right the next time I see him I'll give it back and then I saw him right there this is the uh getaway oh shoot shoot the whole breakdown all right hole for 738 feet that's it's left but I'm happy with it get off of it get through it and you did okay Nikki all right you're all right good Park stop drifting dude all right we're looking at it I like it yeah that's fine yeah that's far great shot oh gosh I almost I was trying to run that a little bit too it's just the really embarrassing part all right two down three birdie holes left yeah four or two just the hyzer into the hill I can't believe I ran that Putt and missed the comebacker this would be closer well you know if you had made it I'm sure if I made it and you made the second one that's true so it's hard dude those are the things that like like blow my mind with like disc golf is like how how quickly you can like two strokes are you know as it's crazy it's the term birdogi for a reason that is a shank you are very welcome oh he's got a putt why oh this had one guys why are you flipping go left go left go left go left big skip oh it's that's one of my bodies telling me to lay up nice dude let's go two more left 243 straight ahead of us clean do people just camp out here yeah that's cool that's perfect oh dang it oh my goodness I thought I was going for it last hole it's super close Anything could happen you just gotta get it all in bounds to the left and then from there you can I mean if you get it far enough like I'm just gonna try to send one right here if you get far enough then you can try to throw over the water in your second shot and then have like a long look for eagle or you can just kind of pitch up Pitch up and then have like a a pretty routine 300 foot approach shot before we throw anything you got a shout out oh yes uh thank you for being my beautiful wife and then all of her sponsors we'll put everything that gets in paid in the description as always um thank You Spin City
