Bit nit-picky, no? Seems the kind of error that is likely to happen once in a while when you're rushing to get the videos out in a hurry no matter who is producing the video. I mean, even Jomez makes those kinds of errors. In their video of the final FPO round at Las Vegas, their pre-round player intros had the graphics/photos for Paige Bjerkaas and Eveliina Salonen swapped.
Holy cow! The posters on Reddit are savages compared to DGCR.
But they are very funny savages.

I don't know... seeing Terry "The Disc Golf Guy" walking around filming with his phone, made me feel sorry for the guy.
Do you all remember when this was the highlight of all disc golf coverage?

I remember when that disc spike at ~0:53 was the height of disc golf controversy.
This is exactly the point. If you have been buying shoes from a company for two years in a row and when you go to get the third pair they're terrible quality and fall apart the first time you wear them you would be pissed. The same is true here, when you promise to bring it in house and have the same quality but fall flat people notice. In the interview with Cory, Steve says that the camera operators only practice filming disc golf was at local courses with random casual players. Going from that base straight to the Memorial seems like a recipe for failure and expecting different seems a little arrogant.
So do you think we'll have to spend the rest of the year with this coverage or maybe they'll say..."hey guys our bad, let's get the post production crews back out here!"
Except you are not buying anything.....it is free. I am not comfortable dictating how people give me free stuff.

I've been enjoying the coverage, minus the interruptions and freezing here and there obviously. But I think it's better than I originally thought it would be. Always loved Val and Nate and I think they give decent insight. They're no BigSexy but...who is? I think if they can somehow iron out some connections issues (better air cards or maybe swap carriers, or have multiple carriers for different parts of the country/coverage). I'll still prefer watching next day production stuff, but this isn't too awful.
But we like good free stuff better than bad free stuff.
We are not paying with our money, but we are paying with our viewership. Small price, but if enough eyeballs are on the coverage, it makes the producer $.
--Camera guys are still a work in progress, and reading between the lines, I think players have been noticing. At one point, Jen Allen threw a shot right at the camera guy, and Hokum commented something like "That disc is heading right at the camera guy. And it's not coming off the line she threw it on......................" --with the obvious subtext being that the guy should've known to move. Not sure exactly how close it came to hitting him, but it looked very close. Shot ended up OB in the water.
Regardless of motivation, regardless of benefit, regardless of revenue, it is still free to me. Yes, everything in life has the cost of time and forgone opportunities, if that is anyone's point. I was taught to be appreciative when people give me stuff.
When grandma gave a young ru4por a cookie, I was not allowed to go to the rest of the family and complain that it had nuts. I took it, gave grandma a kiss and gave the cookie to my sister on the sly. (she loves nuts) Shrug, maybe we all come from different walks in life.
