hey everyone zach here with foundation disc golf and today we are here at boulder woods one of the courses being used at am world championships we're joined by paul macbeth and what we're going to be doing today is playing some of the holes out here and asking some questions that everyone sent in through instagram and just get in the mind of paul macbeth right so this question is from zack summit he wants to know what your favorite meal is before a round favorite meal before a round well i like doing smoothies i'll be fruit sometime like in europe it's a lot of yogurt and harrison getting in the way um yogurt and like bananas and stuff like that but usually smoothie it's to be to be real i get nervous before tournaments so like everyone it's hard to keep food down all right so this one's from carson gates he says what is the thing you recommend most in order to become a professional uh being a good amateur first i think learning how to win is big uh because i don't know i think that's a hard thing is playing with the lead and developing that and then learning how to come back if you need some mindset yeah mindset i think yeah i don't think anyone should ever move up to the pros if they haven't won in some way or been successful because i feel like you just it's a harder learning curve if you go up to the top to do that even locally at pro level just stay am and and learn how to win it's good all right this question comes from ryan weaves he says what is your favorite moment of 2019 so far european open comeback i know that's the most recent one but favorite moment besides that is probably just the the um success that this craft has had you know just in kind of the whole sport itself how it's kind of revived this craft as a whole you know they've always made great discs but this is kind of just kind of i think it i think it showed that we have a true fan base for this not only myself but the sport in general right now that they want to see players succeed so yeah you can definitely see from even my point of view who's new like how much it's grown just in a few years yeah so that's that's my my accomplishments and then you know yeah greatest moment there you go this question comes from disc golf kid he says which world championship felt the best and why i'm sure they all felt good probably the oregon one oregon one with because of the playoff and and i had to come back like i was seven back with 23 holes left or something like that and i buried i think 21 of them or at least shot 21 down for the remaining 23 holes or something something crazy like that so that was that one definitely felt the best i felt like it's the biggest comeback in my career zack summit says would you rather park a hole or drain a log pot if i drain the one long putt okay i think they're i think just because it's a slower element to it so you kind of you get to watch it just go in for a drive you kind of throw it and it's just kind of what's it going to do when it hits the ground right so i think i think draymond won but long putt's more entertaining this one was asked by tarzan says wow sorry i just thanked um he says wouldn't you rather be home working on your course with your father-in-law is that the question with your favorite father oh yeah that's what i thought that's what the question was i know him so it's gotta say favorite um i mean it'd be great to be there working on it and yep being back in virginia um so i feel bad not being there um but yeah it's unfair to say would i rather be there than be here but it would be nice to be there okay so this is our last hole so we're going to do some rapid fire um what kind of toothpaste do you use well i just got some from this brand called schmitz i believe that's what it's called uh they're very um clean company okay so that's what i currently have but i think usually i go with the farm and hammer okay uh what's it like being married and on the road marriage is great being on the road is great so it's the best of both worlds i guess okay what's the most challenging wooded course you've ever played oh challenging but of course idlewild's up there okay so i i'd have to say about do you like to play with kevin jones kevin jones is a lot of fun yeah i mean he's hyped the whole time he loves disc golf yeah um so it's always a great time with kevin good all right everybody thank you for watching the video and special thanks to paul for letting us film with him the next time that we're gonna be able to see him is at pro worlds and there we're gonna try and get some in the mind of him practicing for the biggest or one of the biggest tournaments of the year um if you're not already subscribed to our facebook our instagram our youtube gotta do that now and our patreon link is gonna be in the description below see you guys next time tallua 2113 says why are you such a pretentious downgrading oh boy that technically qualifies as a question huh i guess um i guess everyone's entitled to their own opinion huh so i would like to know the reason why he has that opinion or that question so if we could get an answer it would be great
