Johne was out of line but lol at writing him off for one tantrum. The internet is funny
Ledgestone...

USDGC....

It isn't one tantrum. Its a trend. Dude has a weak ass mental game, gets riled and melts down.
 
World's final nine last year, he acted like he didn't want to be there. I wonder how much of Saturday's act was just that his chance of winning was gone and the old man just wanted it to end. Not wait on mcpeepants.
 
what tantrum at USDGC? He got eaten a live by a hole that does that to top pros every year.

He was actually quite a good sport about the whole thing and kept his composure walking up the 18th fairway (and still ended up in a playoff if i remember correctly).

We have no clue what it's like to perform in that environment. I dont excuse how he acted but Im not going to write him off. We have world champs crying on video after every missed putt or bad shot in 2015 but Im not going to judge him either as I havent ever been (and wont ever be) in that situation. I see an huge difference from 2015 to 2016 already in that individual. Hopefully Johne can learn from this and grow as well. Maybe not..but we should be willing to give him another chance(s). Just my opinion

Not 17.

He seemed super irritated with the crowd all day and was relatively vocal about it. I think it was another case where he hit a spectator that set it off (Hole 5 second shot maybe?). Plus the typical old man ranting/mumbling/etc afterwards. Seems to be his MO when things don't go his way.

I just remember it standing out and being a bit surprising to see somebody act that way at such a high profile event.
 
oh ok...Im not familiar with that situation. I remember admiring the way he handled 17 ..especially the way he didnt cry and moan and thstayed focused enough to get into the playoff.

I wasnt there though so I will take your word for it. Sucks if this is his MO
 
What are the next steps if this had gone beyond a reasonable about of time? Skip him and play on? How would Paul play the hole when he returned if they were all down the fairway or already completed the hole? Penalties?
 
I'm not an attorney and I'd be shocked if there's anyone on DGCR who is either...

Prepare to be shocked. Lawyers are present here. They're not practicing disc golf law, but they passed the bar and are practicing. Disc golf...It's not just for the unemployed and stoned anymore.

Unemployed stoned lawyers? What a great trial that would be. "Dude, my client did not... what was it you did? Oh yeah, my client didn't exceed thirty seconds, man. If we look at the Smash Boxx footage with a real watch, oh ****e, I lost my watch, can a borrow a watch? Anyway, It wasn't really thirty seconds. Um, hey judge, can we have a recess, I need to spice up my buzz some."
 
For those times on the course when you just need to pee, the hollow urodisc. Pull out the plug, slide the lubricated tube over your little mike, and let her rip. Note, this disc is not PDGA approved, but will float on water when empty. Now, $39.99 and we'll throw in, for free, the urowaterbottle....
 
I saw the footage of the cupcake deal with the kid. So McBeth and his buddies thought that was funny? I was embarrassed for the whole lot of them.

This was the first tournament I've watched unedited coverage of, and it wasn't pretty. If these people want to grow the sport, first they need to grow up.

OMG you can't be serious, they were having fun with a friend. You and your friends never horse played around? Come on, please. Spare us all your silly nonsense.
