Not bad for his first time at Idlewild. 993 972 981. Pretty respectable considering there aren't really a lot of holes he can attack with any kind of consistency. Be interesting to see how he does at Ledgestone next week. He's got some good experience on a tight wooded course to have some confidence playing Northwoods but if its windy at Eureka...

4 birdies, 4 single bogeys
5 birdies, 6 single bogeys and a double
3 birdies, 2 single bogeys and a double
Total: 12 birdies, 12 single bogeys, and 2 doubles.
Consistent 980s golf from a 960s guy who came in and prepped all week. He took his hits and didn't let it stack. Had one wild round and kept his head to avoid something ugly. I don't know how much of the east coast swing he's gonna play (or even how much is going on...), but it doesn't look like its gonna be some kind of wake-up call like people thought these wooded courses would be.

I thought he putted roaches? That's what all those dark horse stamped putters were. He had started with Luna's. Switched to roaches for what was probably just a marketing thing....
Did he switch back?

Not sure. I just mentioned the ones he was talking about in that practice vid. I think he is throwing the Lunas though, not putting them.

Probably not for a while. He's still very new to this, and I think people are interested to see how it develops (good or bad). His quick cut rounds from idlewild are still blowing away viewership numbers from chase card coverage...

What does that even mean? He finished ahead of where his current rating would indicate... after 8 months of playing. lol
Nope.
Because alot of people are curious enough to watch a video (or click on a thread) that features him.
It's a hard battle to get to the top when 18-20 year olds are already light years ahead in form and winning or getting regular top finishes. 35 year olds just don't have that same potential. His frisbee experience paid dividends, no doubt, so he's way less of a beginner than people like to think and probably not that far off of where his ceiling is. I do think he can crack top 20s given the huge inconsistency of players around that area and below.
But you are acting like he hasn't thrown frisbees for a living for a very long time. Is a lid different? Yeah but the majority of Am Discgolfers can't event throw one; they are way more touchy. He's got the leg up IMO. Dude makes a ton of money for Discraft but guess what.... He has for Years. If he wasn't a cash cow he wouldn't on anyone's radar.
100% :wall:

I couldn't care less if he is a cash cow. I don't throw any DC discs except a Wasp and even its 6yrs+ old. I think its interesting watching a guy with his potential learn to play the game in full view of every body. I am also critical of him when he throws bad shots...
Are people following him because of his finishes, or because he markets himself better than the 75 people who beat him?
I don't care.
