Brodie Smith PDGA #128378

[robdeforge]

Brodie beat Arlinghaus, and Barsby, and placed one stroke behind Koling. That's pretty good for a guy new to disc golf and tournament play, IMO.

can we get brodie et al's current placements at ledgestone?

Brodie is going for the most OB in one round price today

Yea... So much for my "he's going to play well" prediction, lol... At least he settled down finally and got a couple birds.

 

[Jolt]

I think Brodie is good for the sport so I hope he starts to place better soon or I'm afraid he will start doing something else

Brodie was never expected to do well, but he's had some good rounds. Is he shredding the courses at Ledgestone? Hardly.

But what he has done, is beat a world champion in a PDGA sanctioned event. And I might add, he's done it in the modern (Paul McBeth) era, where supposedly there's much more competition than in the Ken Climo era.

How many world champions have you beaten in a PDGA sanctioned event? (Asking for a friend).

Yeah, that would make me feel really proud.
Hey look! I beat a guy that had the worst round or tournament of the year! I'm great! Lets all get freaky!:doh:

 

[Jay Dub]

I beat Climo once. I remember that real well. I took a 2 and he took a 3 that hole...

That probably would make you feel proud beating a world champion, but since you never have, I guess you'll never know.

I'm a troll because unlike you I don't have a problem with Brodie,
and I think he deserves a little recognition for playing better than people expected, and beating a world champ? Lulz

People expect a certain level of play from top level players, especially from world champions. So go ahead and make excuses for someone new to disc golf, beating a world champion (who's been playing and touring for YEARS).

BTW, you still haven't told us how many world champions you've beaten in a PDGA sanctioned event. Yet you seem eager to trivialize someone else for this very accomplishment, simply because you dislike him.

a pretty boring one at that

Decent round by Brodie today. -1 Limited the OBs much better than yesterday and managed to salvage a par on 18 after going OB on his approach with a circle 2 putt. Should be somewhere around 1010 if the ratings from yesterday hold true today.

With a week of practice and then a week at Smugs, it will be interesting to see how he rebounds from what I'm sure he sees as a very disappointing result at Ledgestone...

Or he is just going to drop out of every tournament the rest of the year.

I've beaten Johnny Sias before.

 

[BryanC]

I hope he changes his mind. If not, I'm going to owe Jay Dubs a disc.

 

[Tpro]

I'll give credit where it is do. He played much better today.

 

[runningoz]

Pity party. Sounds like my high schoolers after a bad game.

Yea that kinda sucks but if he really is going to do this...

55m
True, but getting in the field and getting reps will increase my skill faster.

...then I can see why. He's coming out of a few years of trying to get good at stick golf and like DG, you don't really get better in that by practice rounds and going to big tourneys and getting your butt kicked. You get better by going to the driving range and hitting a thousand balls a day.

So if he really is going back home to put in tons of hours of field work and comes out next year better for it, then so be it.

 

[mizunodave]

I'd enjoy hearing him talk for a few minutes on what exactly it is he thinks he needs to do. Self awareness of your weaknesses is an important skill.

I'll be curious to see how this all shakes out. Seems to me part of his problem in rounds 1 and 2 were the long wait times. Not sure how he'll get better at dealing with those without practice but I'll just have to wait and see.

Definitely comes off as super salty tho lol
