Who's throwin today?

It's 94 degrees with humidity that should come with a free towel so I'm staying the **** inside and playing Super Nintendo games I've never heard of.

It's raining and 75 here. Time to go throw.

I put 2 discs in a pond last night during a tags round. Ugh. One is a Barsby Roadrunner, inked, and the other... well it's a Glide so phhhht. Let's see if I get these back.

Some footage from an event I helped with a few weeks back. This is the day 2 final 9 holes of an invitational for some local (and a few not so local) pro's with a 2 hole playoff for a 3-way tie at the end. I was a spotter. You can see me fist bump my buddy Zack at 18:01.

My view for most of the event:

https://scontent-ort2-1.xx.fbcdn.net...14&oe=5D952B6E

We played a temp course created on some property that a bar owns. The bar already had a ton of outdoor games contained in the beer garden, bean bags, horseshoes, volleyball, ect., but they also had a few acres that extended beyond, so we brought out the portable baskets and created an event for the evening. In a 3-way tie for 1st I came up short and dropped to 3rd since metal hits and points also counted and one dude hit 2 aces and the other hit metal twice. I only hit metal once, so phhhhht. lol T'was a great time indeed.

We did the bar course again last night. I was tied for the lead going into the last round of 6 holes, but I fell off with a couple bad throws. I did win the farthest putting contest though and won a putter. I gave that to the kid that lives on the property, since he told me the putter I gave him last time was stolen.

I didn't sign up for Ledgestone this year since I need the vacay days for Hawaii, but a lot of my friends are out there ready to take home some hardware and cash. Here's a friend of mine on the feature card live round 1. Kacie Glade is a local womens pro from around here, and I'm rooting her on from work today:

Also, that's^ Sunset Hills disc golf and ball golf course which is the only course I've ever had the pleasure of using a golf cart during my rounds. Kinda different. The first time I played it was 2 years ago and I was hung over real bad from trying to keep up with the youngsters at the hotel party the night before. Played like ****, but I'd just plop down in the passengers side, kick my feet up and say "Next hole, Jeeves" to the dude on my card.

Barely had time to play disc golf since the winter or it's been ungodly hot so I'm extra out of practice but finally got in half a round before the humidity and mosquitoes drove us back to the car. And I found a Champion Destroyer with no phone number that I promptly almost threw into the swamp cause I guess it's a disc with mad heiser. Good times.

Also had a fart so good it left my butt itching until I got home for a wipe.

Thats some extra right there.

Will it hyzer?

Don't we already have a frisbee thread?

Now I'm just thinking about the kitten hitting the rim and trying to hold on and pull itself up and into the basket and it's the last hole of the biggest tournament of the year and you can hear a pin drop in that crowd.

If that was me, it'd be hitting every branch in that bush in the BG. Seriously. I'd throw it at the basket, and it would do a 180 and kick off each and every one of those ****ing branches. Then it'd scratch me and piss on the basket.

My debut as a pro is this coming weekend. I signed up in a pro division since everything in the AM's filled up within hours of registration opening and I missed it all. All that was left was 2 spots in the MP40+ (Male Pro 40 years or older) division. Derp. Still, if anything I'll learn a few things and playing along side better players helps me shoot better. The biggest benefit is having a later start time. Usually, they'll start AM's in the early hours and the Pro's get the late (prime time) starts, which in part is for the players to have optimum prep time, as well as being more convenient for spectators and vendors. Historically, my game doesn't come alive until after 3pm anyway. All my best scores have been after work rounds, which is always after 3pm, and my start time this Saturday is 2:40pm. I know I'm just mind ****ing myself into thinking I'll do ok, but even if I come in last place, I'm gonna have a good time.

Good luck bruh, you'll prolly do great! https://boxden.com/smilies/Y7BlbK5.png

Thanks Mindful!

I fold like a bad poker hand when it comes to pressure putts, but if I just say **** it and turn my brain off, I should do ok. The muscle memory is there, I just have the 'what if' mindset during tournament rounds and it gets the best of me.

I played right around my rating on an XL (looooooong distances) layout, so that's not too terrible. I was keeping up with the other pro's on my cards all weekend as far as some of the drives on tricky holes, and I managed to beat 2 MPO (Open Pro's) in the division just above me. This was in a field of about 40 players in these 2 pro divisions combined. My whole purpose was to just get through the tournament though. The heat index was over 100°F and there were a few who dropped out, so being able to power through and finish strong felt great. Last year at the same tournament I wasn't able to finish since my Dad passed away after the first round (it's a 2 day tournament) and I left in the early hours of the morning of day 2 to head up north and hopefully make it in time to say a final goodbye, which didn't happen since he passed while I was on my way but I stayed to help with arrangements and what not. This was more of a tribute to him as well as some closure for me. Love you Dad.

Glad it was a great memory bruh, wow at the heat too. id think the disc would slip out the hand from sweat. congrats on making it through too :beer:

Thanks Mindful.

For sweaty hands, I use one of these:

nice^ i forget you are a professional with this stuff :cool:

Not quite yet. Maybe some day.

I mean playing in a pro tournament makes you pro, right?

Not really. Your PDGA rating depicts your stance as AM or Pro rather than just playing in a Pro division. My rating is right around 850, and a typical Pro rating is 950+. I just entered a Pro division because there were no spots left in the AM's.

Nah man if you step to the tee with pro swagger and chin check anyone who questions you then you're pro.

I'm gonna screen shot that and send it to Justin Menickelli. Better rekonize a mofo.

looks professional asf https://boxden.com/images/icons/5fg96a-compressor.png nice photo too


thats what i thought https://boxden.com/images/icons/nHXEgl8-compressor.png




https://boxden.com/smilies/ra2NRDo.png close enough on the numbers, 100 points away from pro :beer:

I just missed these 2 today at the home course. I hit up the pro shop every Thursday for lunch and I just did my usual routine today and when I got back to work, the shop owner posts this up. I probably would have taken the rest of the day off.

On another note... I managed to pull out a win last night and take everyone's money, but while I was doing that, I was also losing my debit/bank card.

It's somewhere on the course.

I have a lot of accounts connected to that friggin thing and changing those out is a chore. Ugh. At least they issued me a new one right on the spot.
