Favorite and least favorite disc golfer

[Thumber]

Lotta Nikko haters but no one seems to have any video proof

 

[Triflusal]

**BTW, Triflusal, I rewatched the video, I still think Ulibarri is past his (R) plant foot on his running putt at 1:00. That putt just looks so illegal.**

yeah it probably was and nobody called it. It's really tough to see though, I had trouble deciding

Favorites: Schweby and Brinster, I (as an Adv Am) have played with both of these guys in my group and observed them even more on the big stage. It has been fun around these guys.

Least: Cam Todd - I watched him loose his cool in PA and IN in A tiers, not good.

Re: Nicko - I had no idea who he was until a few years ago. I heard rumors about his temper but after following him for 2 days at Lemon Lake this past July, I respect him.

btw, Climo is class act, I've seen him many times since 1996.

in one of the DGM videos from the '08 or '09 vibram open he kicks his back and after he makes a putt he kicks the disc out of the basket.

what?


Again - the hate on Nikko is because he's tough on himself? I don't understand that. So he has a personality...taking it out on others is different from taking it out on himself.

Hate on the kid cuz he's passionate about playing and trying to play perfectly makes no sense to me but to each his own...

 

[hedfan1]

Tiger Woods is just as passionate about his misses as he is about his makes. I don't think the Golf community dis-likes Tiger because he throws his hat down from time to time. Passion is what we want to see.

Bull crap!

they won't let him swear, throw his club, or hat anymore. he spit on the green this weekend and got fined.

 

[Slammer]

I was able to meet and chat with several pros this past year and hands down Climo is a great, easy going guy.

Feldberg... I don't care how good he is, his elitist attitude flat out sucks

 

[hedfan1]

The community is not the PGA. You don't think the fans like to see passion on the course? We are not the PDGA, we are the fans.

its the truth

if you follow triflusal's link and watch the vibram open vids (8 parts total)
you will see a gradual decline into unsportman-like conduct. By the end when he knows he has no chance of overcoming Shults, he is visually upset and kicks his disc from the underside of the basket instead of grabbing it out.

Everyone has had one of those moments, but if you watch the whole vid it starts to get obnoxious.

I have played with people who are "tough on themself" and its not fun for them or anyone around them.

No one wants to hear you bitch about how you should have thrown better or how you should have parked that last hole, or see you kick your bag or your disc.

You wanna be tough on yourself? Fine, but keep it to yourself.
