2019 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships Aug 12-17

[ThrowBot]

which is amazing. I'm sure Lloyd and other sub 800 rated players have a blast and 100% support him playing as much disc golf competitively as they want, but that shouldn't include the professional world championships.

So if you got your way, there would not be a world title available in the MPO division? Because what you're proposing is not Mixed Pro Open; it's a ratings protected division.

Here's a FACT:
Lloyd Weema was the most prolific disc thrower in the MPO field at Worlds, not just for one round, but now two days in a row! And he's on pace for the three-peat! I don't see how anyone could, in good faith and conscience, restrict such a player from competing.

Eagle making moves today so far. It's hard to see him move into contention given how well Paul and Emerson are playing, but good for him.

Eagle finally woke up and is on fire -9 thru 12.

This is the most logical argument I've seen on the subject.

I would argue, however, that this kinda already happens based on tiered registration. It's possible that no one under 970 can ever get into the event, which is basically what you are saying shouldn't happen.

No one gaining anything on Cat today. . just two more rounds to go
As of now my 4 picks to be 1-4 is on the R4 Lead card

Cat's going to be hard to beat. Eveliina's hanging in there and Paige is creeping.

 

[Jolt]

wow i spoke to soon, after a great putt on 17, Cat totally screwed up on hole 18. . . .and Paige missed her first C1 putt of the day. . Eveliina back on top. . and Henna will join her on the lead card

 

[Jolt]

Wow, if Eagle had played this way the two first days. .

I lost count of the number of rollers on the f9 vid with the Rico/Sexton group. All four of them were throwing rollers, both BH and FH.:clap:

 

[DiscFifty]

So Cat missed 3 putts within circle 1????

Looks like Weema is not letting that single par yesterday shake his gameplan. Back on track today, parless through 14 with an OB on 15.

Barsby...just getting further and further back. Same with PB btw.

Bjerkaas or Pat Brown? Because if it's Pat Brown, I hope he gets to hang out with Leema on last card.

 

[Broken Shoulder]

Missing the point.

The point is the professional look of the event to the public. You don't show up to the Masters and see 31 handicap players playing.

The public isn't watching.

 

[brutalbrutus]

Eagle is now -12 with 2 to go

 

[_MTL_]

The public isn't watching.

Until they are. And when they do, we need to be ahead of things like this.

 

[brutalbrutus]

Looks like someone is trying to intentionally challenge Lloyd... the guy in second to last place just took a 15 on a 300ft hole...


...and went 12 13 9 on the previous 3 holes.

 

[brutalbrutus]

Llyod picked 25 shots on him in 4 holes but still has a 19 shot "lead"

 

[Jolt]

. . that roller from McBeth. . just :clap:

 

[Streets]

Good grief, KJUSA coming out swinging. :thmbup:
