Havnt a clue what type of insurance dgpt events or national events carry, but that hole seems insane , especially with the way eagle played it last round ,, a spike hyzer to the face, head of spectator or anywhere on a child , and that's gonna cause serious injury ,, if I'm playing for $5000 that weekend, I be damn if I want a dog kicking my opponents disc back inbounds !! Borderline bush league

I agree that I wouldn't want it to happen to me either, but I don't understand which part you think is bush league? It is such a one in a million occurance, it seems that this could not have been predicted, and no amount of planning could gave prevented it.

I can't even tell if the dog hit it there. Looks like the dude in that Lat64 shirt, who obviously has an inkling what disc golf is, just watches the disc slowly roll into his foot. What happens if people who really like Paul start lining the circle and kicking his discs back toward the basket?

What if the people who don't like Paul kick his discs back OB?
What if....?

That thing must have had some serious spin on it...

Could happen, people do weird things all the time.
I've watched 8 rounds of disc golf so far this year and I've already seen at least 3 cases of spectator interference with a probable delta of 5 strokes total. For the Hannum one at the WTO it's more acceptable, he took a weird route, and a big pavement skip. That one is hard to plan for ahead of time. Though it's funny Hammes immediately took the same line.

I guess my point is this one is so easily solved in a way that doesn't impact spectators, just move them a little farther away from OB lines. They can still see fine, most people on that hole were farther away. It's such a simple way to plan away a couple percentage points of weird things happening. Low risk, high reward.

There is a false equivalence of people there in the public park specifically to watch disc golf, and people using the park for other activities. If you see people using the park, generally they're transient, you can wait for them to move.

After watching it again, it actually rolls past the dog and the woman in the 81 jersey sticks her foot out to stop it, and it reverses direction, rolls past the dog, again hits the dudes foot and jumps over the wall.

Anyone have a count of how many elevated baskets were on that course?

10 according to the FPO commentary on the final round.

Thanks Jimb. It seemed like quite a lot and I'd say it was !

Someone posted a video from another angle and it's not the dog but the foot of the spectator.

So the leased dog is better at avoiding discs than the cameramen...

LOL thats seriously the most unlikely thing ever. rolling to bump to a spectators shoe and gettting just enough jump to clear the OB wall inbounds. you cant make this stuff up. life > art

Fan interference would NEVER happen in a real sport.

Why is the dog the only one to make an effort to to get in the way of the disc? Lat64 guy just watches as it ramps up his foot... come on.

Dog manners, they're not just for the dog park!

 

[jmdaire27]

I did mean "to get out of the way of the disc." Clearly...

I would hate life if we took them off their leashes.

That really made me laugh.
