Announcers have a tough time crafting their patter and style to be more interesting than the content they're/we're watching.

Do Perkins and O'Reilly put anyone else to sleep, or is it just me?

They are OK. I'd rather listen to them and enjoy the play, than listen to the other Nate's manufactured drama and talking about their glory days.

The chase card is putting some pressure on the lead card once again in MPO.

Sit back and enjoy the magic

Personally, since the DGPT has absorbed Jomez, I wish we could get Big Sexy on their post-produced content.

is it just me, or is WPO throwing it down ridiculously hard? fun venue, fun comp.

Hey good luck Mason County DGC love you guys to death, good people and always loved your tourneys. Sadly I live in Idaho now and don't play competitive DG anymore but wish you all the best.

What, arent we talking about the trophies this time around at all?

Looks like a nice axe. Having said that, I kinda think at least once in a while, a more traditional throphy would be nice too. You dont need to try and reinvent the wheel every time.

Perkins and O'Reilly, Nate and Ulibarri are the best commentators so far. The less i hear Jerm the better imo.

Kind of thought the same.

Course talk...
I don't know about the rest of you, but pretty much all of the courses used for Pro Tour events are nothing like my local courses.
I'm talking about courses with numerous +600 foot holes, tons of OB, big water carries, etc.

The Shelton Springs FPO layout is a lot closer to courses I like to play. 11 holes under 350 feet with 6 holes under 300 feet. The 11 "short" holes average 302. Again, this is what I am used to playing and what I prefer. Most of the course length (7285') comes from the 7 holes over 500 feet. (the MPO layout is 1,000 feet longer)

Gold courses that push 10,000 feet and beyond are just crazy for 95% of "normal" players. If you play from the short tees you end up walking about 1/2 way up some of the fairways to get to the tee. :wall:

I understand the use of long gold courses for Pro Tour events, but I have very little interest in playing them myself.

That's good to know. I'm exactly the opposite. I enjoy short courses, but I've played too many of them and will choose a long course anytime I have the chance.

Your not alone. While Perkins has a good voice gor broadcasting, his delivery is so relaxed, it is kind of soothing. O'Reilly doesn't do anything for me.

They're really 2 sides of the same coin

You can't be suggesting that it would be better to present one of those typical trophies that you can get and just knock off the bowling or tennis figurine off the top and present it as a disc golf trophy. It actually wouldn't hurt to re-invent that wheel. I think most winners appreciate these more unusual trophies that they can glance at and know immediately what tournament they won it at, and the memories that go with it. Generic trophies don't hold that power.
