Jomez is now my favorite sports to watch, bar none. I'm actually losing interest in all the major sports. Having Detroit nearby isn't helping that, to be fair, but with these high-quality Disc Golf videos, I'm watching something personally pertinent to me and still get to be a fan of something I can't quite do at the same time. When the major sports broadcasts are on, (a) they're 3-hours long, (b) played by multi-millionaires whose salaries make it almost unaffordable to go attend, (c) playing sports I don't play at all (haven't played HS baseball in almost 30 years and I'd injure myself playing it for ten seconds), (d) in my case, usually for teams that suck due to bad upper-management.
When I click on a Jomez video, that could be me on there (although the competition would trounce me to the tune of probably 0.75 per hole by the end of the round, easily). The world's best players lining up a jump putt? That's me too! I make these all the time at my home course!
All of you here know why I'm infatuated with this sport and there isn't a major one like it when it comes to our equipment and our playing area. Our Discs! It's almost as if the very projectiles themselves have personalities. I treat my own starting rotation like family members or my own limbs. (Perhaps this is preventing me from taking more risky shots near irretrievable water hazards). Every single major sport where billions of dollars are spent uses a projectile that doesn't vary at all. (or much). Then there is the "court" we play on. Every inch can be different than the next and, like the Discs (yes, I prefer to capitalize that word) the playing surface itself has its own personality. Baseball might have a little of this with its varying home run fence and views of downtown skyscrapers, and of course ball golf with it$ cour$e$ (we have better vertical obstacles by far), but as a game-playing variable, all of the major sports pale in comparison to how our "court" interacts with our projectiles. The basket is icing on the cake. So much better than a basketball hoop or hockey goal or home plate.
Enter Jomez now that we're essentially in the 45th year or so of our sport and I can truly see this going to something big in a short time. Who is going to tune into a yawn-fest between two baseball teams 25 games under .500 for three hours every night when you can be watching Disc Golf coverage like this, a sport that enjoys steady 10% participation growth each and every year? Where the courses and projectiles offer as much entertainment as the characters on its stage?
Jomez has positioned himself well for a great career being the first to do this in such a quality measure. I will be glued so long as my eyes can open. And I've already forgotten to watch dozens of Detroit Tigers games because I'd much rather watch Jomez.
