2023 PDGA Masters Disc Golf World Championships

[txmxer]

Well. I got my first Flagstaff round in today. I was pretty concerned about the elevation and my conditioning. Things went just fine. Anyone trying to say the difference in stability of discs at this elevation is minimal is nuts. The compensation/adjustment/changes that are needed are significant. I really struggled getting the disc up...I think more of a ru4por problem, not an elevation one. :doh: Tuthill was a flat, dusty desert like track. Not much like Midwest golf. Excited to be here and happy to have half the drive behind me.

Sorry you are struggling to get it up. Maybe it's the altitude?

I don't usually have this problem. I heard it is pretty common among masters crowd. I also hear that it is not that big a deal...............:\............

Just arrived this afternoon, and did some fieldwork at a soccer field. Everything is basically one notch more stable/overstable than before. No problem, just move everything in my bag one spot to the right. Easy peasy.

May not be that big, but it is significant.



Regardless, I'm jelly. This week in Flagstaff sounds like an absolute blast and a bucket list adventure.

AM player pack.

A tournament logo draw string backpack, a hunter green tournament crew neck dri fit, a Flagstaff Nalgene water bottle, a cooling towel, a stretch band, a couple minis, a small sports sack, a deck of RIPT cards, a Marvel by Birdie Disc Golf Supply, a Harrier from Lone Star, three tournament stamped Axiom discs.. Paradox, Proxy and an Insanity. These are pretty cool black discs with a swirly gyro rim. Each has a local animal on the disc...they appear to be an Abert or Tassel-Eared Squirrel native to the Ponderosa Pine Forests in Arizona, a Horny Toad and a Goshawk.

Black discs may be collectors items, but they disappear into the void when thrown.

Still, very cool. Is there a DGCR meet? I know a few folks that are present.

Marylander has jump into the lead of MA40. :clap::clap:

Nova won the distance competition the other day. :clap:

when i saw where it was to be held i was thinking "who in their right mind would send a bunch of middle aged and older to Arizona in the summer for an outside sporting event". after reading that an average summer day is 80 for a high and mid 40's for the low it makes a lot more sense.

Guess they didn't figure on the current heat wave the state is getting.

Suppose to get up to 92 on Friday and 95 for the finals on Saturday. Weather can be so unpredictable.

I was the only one in my division. . .

Jen outthrew me by like 120' or more. So much for that "biological advantage."

At least they moved some tee times to take advantage of the morning temps in the 60s:

Monday PM Announcement

Bet the cooling towels are getting some use!

Looked like the entire field of MP80, 3 players, skipped the first 7 holes on day 1.

 

[ThrowaEnvy]

Oh man watching with excitement...

Go team Prodigy!!!!!

Buy global, cheer local. We raise em right.

Haha, GG tied up in the lead for MP60. Go Graham! Givin em a little what for from up here. The man's a fiend at Sunday dubs, I'm hoping he stays the course and gets on the podium.

I hear there was some confusion over the last-minute change in tee times for that pool.

 

[txmxer]

now that they've experienced the local gravity, it seems to be going pretty well.

 

[Nova P]

Here's a couple of fun shots from round three at Fort Tuthill.

My Pops is David Coon in MA65. He won Selinske Masters. Dude's a savage. He's hanging in there.

MP40 lighting Little America up like a daggum christmas tree. Are they just going back and forth between here and Thorpe?

Feldberg can still put a move on a disc that's for sure
