:thmbup:

:thmbup: from me too. We both went to Illinois State & I played a few rounds with him as well. He knows what he's doing! Good for him!

The PDGA article http://www.pdga.com/2013worlds/news/wiggin-the-victory-flag has a description of the conditions of the contests.

The title says Wiggins nearly sweeps the word, and then it looks like he won everything. Including the mini golf. Why does it say "nearly?"

 

[New013]

Damn Wiggins won them all, must of not been over when I checked the results at first.

 

[jrawk]

Paige hitting 411 into the wind... that girl astounds me.

 

[dscmn]

550s into a headwind? Impressive.

Seriously? If half the chuckers on DGCR were at Worlds, Wiggins Jr. would have been like 38th place instead of first place.

Wind was crossing right to left during distance.

 

[New013]

right to left helps the lefties.

 

[The Ox]

right to left helps the lefties.

Oh yeah. Watching the lefties it looked like they were cheating.

 

[The Ox]

Wiggins won everything except tied in Putting.

Putting tie breaker is Tues at flymart.

So get this, last year I scored 17 points to qualify for the World Putting finals. This year I scored 19 points, only to find out there are no putting finals. When I spoke with a pdga official why there were no finals, he informed me how "no one really cares about field events" and how it was a "waste of his staffs time" to put on a finals. I'm not sure who I've lost more respect for, Indiana disc golf or the Pdga for not settings guidelines that prevent people's personal opinions from setting the sport back, especially at the Worlds.

Wiggins said he used 160ish blizzard bosses.

I heard Wiggins swept all MPO contests, Distance-Putting-Mini golf and Skill shot

:clap:

I'm almost 100% sure no one has ever swept the field events. That's amazing.

The local clubs set up the rules for all field events. This is why putting is different every single year.

The wind must have been bad. The am winner threw 570.

Bagger.

I liked how NC did it last year. Was really interesting. Would like to have seen that again. And they are wrong, I think people would like ot see coverage of all the field events.

Agreed. I would honestly like to see the putting contest the most. I love watching pros knock down big putts more than them throwing wild anhyzers in a big field.

What is the skill shot contest?
