layout and it is brutal movie card we got bill Tillman from Edmond Oklahoma go to Hatfield also from Edmond Nathan Alton from Wellington Kansas Dom Rodriguez from Emporia Kansas and Ron cons from Blackwell Oklahoma hole 1 par 4 750 feet got across the pond on is OB that Sidewalk Toby and the routers OB you'll be seeing maybe some rollers you want to land right by this tree though no one greasing this on the first shot that's for sure we are in Wichita Kansas for a starter got out ducks flying discs for putting this on yeah and whenever you see a hole under hundred feet you are you're very excited because it is actually birdie bull this course is very challenging first up got Koda he's going with the kind of the going up high I let her ride shot and that'd be just fine here we got Bo and bone cutter two of the best players in Oklahoma they play a lot of tournaments and they won a lot of tournaments that was pushing that left side but it should be in bounce here we got DOM and Dom just moved up to the open division and he is killing it this year he likes to throw him low and hard that one also testing that that OB rode that stay safe here we got Nathan and he is a forehand dominant player and he's gonna test that road right away big row skip and that's just how he liked to do it right there and wrong con go with the turnover flex shot and he's dancing as well all these guys have really good four shots Nathan basically throwing the same Shaw's uh his first shot that's gonna be quite a bit short kotas starting off with a tricky lie not a whole lot of room for the end of the throw up yep and he watches his arm and goes right off that building here we got DOM and Don doesn't throw a whole lot of four hands so he's gonna be throwing turnover here and Ron just recently developed the four hand that he's been using a lot this tournament not really four shots over 300 but inside three he is pretty solid and he'll have a look from there see what beau can do here got to keep it low oh yeah Annie gets a skip he is about 15-20 feet away great shot Kota after the unfortunate second shot I just wanted to get this real close and ghost a little deeper than you wanted but he's a fantastic butter shouldn't be too worried there Nathan close enough to jump at it lays it right out Dom a little short as well Dom actually has fantastic distance on this but it's a lot of energy behind it and often connects Oh and a great putt by Ron fantastic birdie Ron's one of the best putters in Oklahoma he's won a couple trophies so just coming up just fairly short you'll be taking a bogey on the first hole today Owen though has a little miss miss that there may be some nerves going through the players I'll know you should have that napat skirt at 4 down that's Nathan at four down He pours it gone with a bogey puts my three down and those meats happenin here keeps in my five all right now the long one will do 650 foot part for all that water is Ovie's sidewalk on the right side I'll pump that hill get the straight shots around of course much more calm so these players are very happy about that so both leading the card at five down you're strong he's taking the Heiser route that finds the OB got a little more turn of it I imagine then he wanted both taking the same line keeping it low and didn't get a whole lot of distance but it's right in the middle and anything's gone he can go over the water where's he going flex in the middle he's gonna write the middle and that plays well because you're not likely to find the obese this is that Hill right there it's kind of a little backstop gonna taking the exact same lines buh it's gonna be a long up shot donc even extremely whoa way too low and he only advances about 100 feet he has no clear line to the basket yeah any Knicks another branch souls not going well for down better with another tricky lie he didn't get it that far either they're playing for par as him now here's your launch third after that okie stroke he's getting robust slow down and he still got some work to do as well Nathan pitched off a little bit with that tree not to show where I ended up Dom is just struggling on this hole you'll have a look but it's scary it's about a 40-footer downhill towards the water slow down that was that'll be no my grass cotton that's very hand very fortunate break over the get up shot there's that forehand from Ron he's developed ah drop the cage you try to get off this hole see if Nathan I'm not gonna put here oh look a squirrel get out of here this world is trying to jinx him there you go that pissed Nathan of five down type of lead those one of the highest rated players in Oklahoma he is 1013 and he just misses there whatever you we'll tap-in by Kota Gede be staying out for down kotas a thousand three rated player doesn't travel a whole lot but if he did everyone would know him that's for sure I just really saw a gulf wrong with the unfortunate bogey right-ho three-hole it's also very good tweaking some birdies this hole is made for Nathan right here she's throwing up a hyzer oh yeah I put some about 20 feet short Chris shot and fell don't film it so many for hands but he's fantastic at accuracy shots now I won't draw on line but that'll eat some outside circle Otacon with the big turnover going right past the bass guessing me a tricky puzzle he's just outside and he's a keep turning no buts fading out and you got that a little bit too high cheese and Dom's discs they lift up so much he starts him solo and has trusted him they end up getting the job done gone from outside a little bit short tricky you will an ePub I bow see if Dom can bounce back here tail went knocked it straight down no one really even getting close on their putts come on Nathan no no everyone's missing here we got Dom trying to clean it up oh my gosh and he spits out as well oh my god I can't believe this that's insane this basket is harsh no birdies on this little Wow I thought all the more I've gotten it coated with a bogey ax is crazy Ryan hole for 312 of r31 most gettable ones this sidewalk right here is OB the waters that be obviously we've seen a straight Riyaz pea these pies are for hand over the water he ends up out circles edge I believe bogan with the more standard route maybe a fairway driver puts it up right next to the basket great shot looks like he's fading a little bit early yeah a little short uphill pot color it does hit a little bit too low looks like no gets a good skip he'll be putting about 25 30 feet away I'll just do that solo and cut rolls but stay safe going with the putter up shot yeah that'll work that should go on Ron the farthest out little short we got Nathan Oh fantastic birdie putt that puts him down to six how does that cut a wind underneath that dist lift it up a little bit I'm dirty for Bell throwing Nathan Titus six down don't just get out of the way it's happening for his par oh no and Koda just cannot find the putter right now kotas known for throwing absolute bombs but he's a fantastic putters well he'll take a bogey puts my two down got a windy on this whole bronze taking the knee approach get level with the basket all right well five six hundred twelve foot par for got OB right in this hole this is blanket for the home my C cup of batter always down with water often happens probably hayver give up ain't no go with the forehead now guess good flex out of it but it's not quite enough no Hobie we got bow just gotta miss that tree on the right and he did just be going a little bit too fast on this hill sit down that's gonna be a tricky upshot there's a lot of trees down there right in the way so you really want to be on that hill Ron almost hitting me on the camera and he ends up in literally the perfect spot that is right where you want to be you have an open shot to the basket perfect he's tied to get up I was riding the road get over there you go and that's also gonna be a tough up shot he's just happy as inbounds Kota oh no did that Nick off the pole that's OB as well unfortunately break from him those tough shot looks a little short say hey a couple branches here's code for three that's a pretty good shot from where he was at I love a look at had a par save great shot by Nathan Wow that's gonna be a tap-in birdie came up a little bit short at daum second I was pretty ashot it's about 25 20 feet away yeah and that that was a very destructive put low-hanging branch it's never easy boats like he's just laying up with that sketchy grandpa Oh Ron just barely off the basket I've been a fantastic putt Don finally James dad put her in nice birdie I'll put him out two down cut it's happenin for his bogey wanna stay up one down go stay at six we Nathan will take the lead at seven now with this birdie putt oh no that's a par under money right hole six 357 foot or three one of the shorter ones but stepping on one of these needs we got some big forehand you be taking this play the left side of that tree nasties down by the water roads large my clothes in the basket other players the big 5-0 that's all Dom will be doing that's lucky yank that to the right a little bit will make it over oh no you see it's splashdown look in the back of the screen anything with a big forehand which is a much safer route although it's got to slow down and it does okay you overlooked him there both him with the spike hyzer oh yeah that landed about ten feet away from the basket I believe Ron's old enough to be playing in the Grand Master's but he is just so much better than his field that he he joins the young men playing open but he finds that would be right there very challenging hole it makes it even worse cuz he can't see the basketball t so it's a blind shot coda playing that very safe he was wrong for three after that OB stroke laser right over there and Dom playing on the other side of water he gives it a good run but he's also gonna be tapping in for a bogey oh yeah Nathan's feeling himself with a birdie nice putt and he needed that after seeing beau pretty much right next to the basket Ron can't find the basket but when Nathan tied at7 down now I'm playing a really good golf Oh lesion Dom with an unfortunate bogey wrong with the double all right hole 7 1 uh participles out here 500 foot par 4 got an extremely tight window off the tee no does OB water of e you want to land on the left side of this hill the white side of evil is the upside with wine the left side on top of this Nathan trying to apply the pressure on Bo and that is looking perfect you'll have a very simple up stuff in there go getting on that left sides a little bit more challenging down there but it's very doable and you'll have risk of hitting it down slope on the ocean holders go with the huge huge Heiser's play a safe and that worked out perfect get off that branch that make it through I believe it did oh yeah great shot by DOM and everyone made that first initial gap law lets me play on that right side we'll see how he manages to handle that yeah Kota just has a hyzer but he's got a make sure it doesn't run away down the hill and he puts that right by the basket great shot don't trying to put a little ante on it to make it land soft and that was great but went whale if I didn't realize how down there he got not the best shot by wrong but he does stay above the hill and gives himself a down hill but Nathan playing this hole perfectly Dom keeps the putter hot there you go I put him at two down and we're on making a putt for birdie oh no Nathan will use that nose up and you should have had that 102 nothing a birdie putt in there baby this hole looks super easy there you go I'm just gonna stay at seven boughs and take the lead down all right hole 8 please signature pull out here 409 foot part 3 across this water a lot of trees as they pass it is couple wings very hard to reach this hole beau Lisa Louis get up oh no he finds the water OB or Isis rush just said just the moss we got Cota looks like he cleared that with these yeah and that's that's the most common play you just don't up to those trees having to drop down oh no and Donnell just shanks this that finds the water as well it's not that far getting across this water these are bad hiccups anything on with the high approach it's a little turnover flex shot oh yeah oh and that might have been going on the road and hit that Sheree there's beau from the drop zone fighting the skip off the road so he's a little bit short now I'm doing the same thing it looks pretty good and I played probably three or four advanced tournaments last year with DOM and he has improved so much it especially it's putting he's makeup heating in the open field all year and doing a great job and that's a great par Parrs really the score you wanted to get on on this hole takes a lot of luck to get that to by missing all those trees there's a double by dog that's not what he wanted Nathan with the parries staying in it takes believe that seven down all right a whole nine 332 foot part three I miss these couple of trees with the team and the baskets kind of hitting up in the strands up there I'm not challenging the whole four hands I'm coding on with the roller to eliminate those trees and it does the opposite hits a square about as far as he possibly could I was taking that turnover line and that's puttan that's all you can ask for on this one Nathan does his forehand way too low he'll be pitching up there now I'm Bo just does that what you hi looks like it slipped out of his hand or something that needs to turn a little bit he's that's gonna be a very tricky second shot you just code it for two oh that's a that's a good shard there just bail for two as well and he overlooked from there he's got some trees in the way but he can straddle here's dawn with a crazy look for birdie yeah and he hits two trees there it's I was not easy belong here's the only really good to look for for this card oh no he needed that to stay caught up with Nathan and run with the good bed but he comes up short Nathan taken another stroke from but from beau just happens here all
