It was definitely over the top. This particular instance was during the final round on Sunday. It was also quite a tirade, but it wasn't Nikko or Feldberg if that helps any.

My first guess was Nikko and my second is Colglazier
Is there a reason to keep the person anonymous? It's inconsequential to 99% of us just chilling here reading the forums, but keeping the info out of the public is like 1984 Orwellian conspiracy crap

Fair enough. Devan Owens.
Devan Owens just made my LIST
Grrrrr... That does give enough context to help everyone understand why he freaked out, though.
Wysocki: 154
Gurthie: 163
Owens/Schusterick: 164

I don't know if it really was a tirade but he did yell a couple curse words pretty loud. I was about ten feet away from him and wasnt really surprised by it.
I didn't see it but I heard about it. I think I heard Sarah Hokum bombed one on that hole too.....
on a different note I need a lot more practice because they just make it look like they're putting so little effort into the throws and they go so far. I know it just looks that way though...

I was probably standing right next to you, lol. Profanity doesn't bother me at all, it just caught me by surprise. I suppose its different when your livelihood is dependent on your performance. Maybe not quite a tirade so to speak, but one was enough to display his frustration.
Exactly. It takes a special person to 'lose it' around complete strangers.

The incident I am talking about happened on Friday. From my spot I heard someone yell, "F*** this hole! F*** this course!" The F bombs continued for another thirty seconds or so. I was told who the golfer was, but since I didn't witness it myself I'm not naming names.

It used to be later that evening. I guess it's taking awhile for the DGLO.

PDGA doesn't update it till it goes official. A TD can opt to add the $ in when they upload unofficial results.

loads of added cash! That's awesome!!
But payouts like this are why a lot of people can't make a living.
Flatten payouts!!! With that much money, your top 10 should all easily be over $800.
I agree with your posts on first glance.
Though, I don't understand your expectations for disc golfers "making a living" off of disc golf payouts and how added cash should be applied to the field and different divisions. I think this deserves a thread split, to be honest.

what would your top 10 look like?

NTs have payout rules and it looks like they were followed for the Open & Masters. However, it looks like they tweaked it for the Women and GMs so first would get $1000. The official payout table has second place getting 60% of first place so you can see they hedged on the Women and GMs. I know MTL has said (and I agree) that the pros now prefer flatter payouts because they many times "flattened" them anyway after the event by leveling out the money amongst themselves as travelers, especially when sponsored by the same company.
