The Official 'Ask Paul McBeth' Thread

[PMcBeth]

Hey Paul, will you be coming to the Too Many Days in May at the Blockhouse/Grange. It is a 7 day week with 6 different tiered events in Spotsy Va. The final tournament is an A-tier event that MJ, Schwebby, etc.. come to. It will be awesome!

no not on my schedule

 

[PMcBeth]

the blockhouse(grange) is worth making a trip to if you happen to be in the VA area. 2 18 holes courses and a tiki--putter only course mainly played at night all par 2 kinda like mini golf

Awesome that you are here.

Can you tell me how you manage to get a disc near the basket on hole 15 at Delaveaga in the long position?

In case you forgot what that looks like:

I think you should leverage your name more for marketing purposes.. I assume you have read Shakespeare's MacBeth? Amazing play. I had this one memorized for a college course on it:

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Count me in! Set-up a kickstarter, or iogogo or something to fund it. (some of those sites are only for products, whereas others are more for concepts, i've done on 2 different sites)

$10 gets you access a day before public posting of videos (every other donation gets this too)
$20 gets you a signed sticker or something
$50 gets you a personal review of our throwing form video, and video response back showing examples/training/ etc
$75 gets you an in person private lesson (depends on location)

This would be my only beef. A day earlier access than the public is not worth $10. A week, now you're getting somewhere. Would this be a one time fee? or a re-occurring fee?

Speaking of private lessons. Paul, what do you, if you do, charge for private lessons? Do you do group clinics? What would you charge for that?

Favorite beer and SoCal park not including Huntington.

I believe i was throuwing a C-PD and just turning it over and allowing it to flex then when its about 5 feet high so it skips and skids under the basket

Paul, how do you feel about having a Final 9 versus a normal final round at a tournament. Worlds and other events typically have a Final 9, while some tournaments like the Memorial and USDGC have a full final round.

In my mind, there are pros and cons-

Pros
- Exciting for spectators
- AMs and other players can spectate
- Increased drama if a close finish

Cons
- Extra holes the players have to play
- Only 4 players get in (no 2nd and 3rd card)
- Gimmicky?

What are your thoughts? How do most pros feel about it?

these are all just ideas so i woulnd't look at the numbers


I hate giving lessons because i'm not a teacher. if i knew how to teach i would do it all the time but i am no where near good enough to take peoples money for tips.

i don't drink alcohol so none and park as in disc golf i would say wrightwood

 

[billmh]

Not in a million years would I go for that in a tournament.

He's the only person who would likely try. Anything other than the hit is going into the Canyon, an almost guaranteed two more strokes.

 

[techn9cian4life]

i don't drink alcohol

Is there a reason for this? Ive been curious

i've never really been a fan of final 9s it because the ams are really the only people that watch. i like when pros always play one more round then the ams so they ams can pick who they want to follow instead of just 1 group

i'm confident when it's a down hill put. you just put it on the right line and you know its in

i don't normally do things if it doesn't have a positive like alcohol. there is no positive to drinking so why do it. waste of money just to have a altered feeling imo

 

[scunham]

I respect that Paul, ^^

Depends on how you look at it man. It is possible to have beer without getting drunk. There's nothing wrong in havin an amazingly brewed craft beer. Jus sayin. Do what you do though, seems to be workin out for you. Haha

How about the green plant?

Has many positive things
