It's really awesome to hear stories like Corey's. A lot of people in these kind of interviews/spotlights talk about their disc golf game, but it's a good balance to hear about their personal lives. It hits harder when someone like Corey can really be open about stuff like alcoholism.
Bravo Corey Ellis for having the courage to tell his story. He could’ve talked about something else. Instead, he gave everyone a master tip. Alcohol kills your mental game and not just when you’re actively getting drunk. Quit drinking and watch the brain fog vanish. Want to take strokes off your game? Stop drinking and watch it happen, men. As a former alcoholic, I agree with his message. Bravo, Corey. Bravo.
Debatable... but, Brian fog!? You think actively getting drunk = brain fog. Everyone goes through thier faze of being a alcoholic... we all turn 21 at some time !
@@JohnWayne-ec1gi “not just when you are actively getting drunk”. Alcohol abuse has lasting effects on your brain, even when you are sober. This isn’t rocket science. It can take a month of being sober to gain the brain clarity I am referring to. No need to get defensive. All I said is that quitting drinking can make you better at a sport. This is not new knowledge.
@@ObeyAndBePrey did I strike a nerve ? And you are telling me not to get defensive... !? "This is not new knowledge" nahh that's your opinion that quitting drinking makes you better at a sport. Some people can handle a couple while golfing and would disagree. I wouldn't refer someone that just turned 21' ish and decided maybe drinking while playing golf isn't for them as a "master tip" ! now you are just insulting my intelligence, thinking that I don't know that abusing anything, like alcohol will fuck up your brain in long run.
Recently starting recovery myself, I was encouraged to hear Corey's words. Disc Golf has helped me to avoid making the wrong choices and to give me mental clarity and balance.
Hell yeah, Corey. I want really familiar with him, but as a fellow person in recovery, he endeared himself to me. I'm just getting back into throwing this year after stepping away for five years of focus on sobriety, injuries, and surgeries, but my love for the sport never left.
I I do as well, plus i throw many stand stills on the tee and in the fairways. His form has helped me because of its similarity and no one questions the power he has. Wish I could putt like him!
OMG - Thank you, thank you & thank you again! This is 2022, and disc golf coverage must be high-quality 1080p60 - with 60 actual frames per second. Not blocky, compressed, low-quality Wifi-streamed rubbish that is effectively 480p30 regurgitated as fake 1080p60. I'm looking at you, DGN! JomezPro has always understood very well that fans are much more interested in watching free-to-view delayed coverage produced to the highest standards possible, than to pay to watch eye-hurting low-quality garbage for hours on end.
Damn Jomez, why did you have to make me cry before the round, super intro with Corey and kudos to him for using his time to talk about something so personal and important ❤
Best thing about these tournaments is the guys are competing against the course much more than each other. They all remain very friendly, helpful, and willing to give advice on shots to their "rivals". Great to see in a sport these days.
@@babyeater89 yeah, they're very pokey. I do a lot of invasive management and the woodier stuff is a pain. Our local course has a ton of bush and vine honeysuckle, autumn olive, and multi flora rose. The shrubbery is what separates the fairways, so the city won't let us cut it out... Yet..
Amazing to see Cory opening up and sharing his struggles with the world. What a sign of true strength, indeed! Mad respect earned. It's called the human condition for a reason - we all have struggles, we all have weaknesses, we all make mistakes. Hiding and denying them only hurts yourself and ends up lessening the impact you can have on others. It's only by being our authentic selves that we can become our best selves. Thank you for sharing, and thanks Jomez for giving him the opportunity. So glad to be a part of such an amazing community with y'all
Shout out to Kevin for editing an awesome commercial. I don't normally like commercials in general but that one was a pleasure to watch the whole way through. Great work, Kevin.
Loving that card.. Just watching Simon is a huge win already - maybe history's most likeable player in any sport. But it's also nice to see a true veteran in Nate and also Corey and Andrew were super interesting to watch. It's nice to get to know lesser known players and see new styles here and then.. This was a very nice mix, good job to all of the players!
You guys do a great job with the coverage of these tournaments! I'm 57 and, last year, became a disc golf fan. The problem is, my shoulders won't currently let me play. So this is my outlet.
Just before I watched this and when I saw who was on the card, I was like, "Wow, how has there been no real intro segment, considering his performances last season, on Corey? Who is he really?" And there it was. Thanks so much for that window into who he is and considering what he shared, wow.
As someone who has also had to struggle with alcohol, I always love to hear stories of those overcoming addiction. Thank you Corey for telling your story.
Awesome coverage, but oh my. I would love nothing more than the Form Review to become a mainstay. That is so incredibly valuable for players looking to make the next step.
The fact that Corey took his moment to be Honest, Open, and Willing about alcoholism, that it is part of who we are, takes some fortitude. However it can become a strength of character when embraced like Corey has.
Huge props to Corey for overcoming and sticking with it. I myself struggled with opioids and it's an uphill battle everyday! Need to realize the problem and surround yourself with positive people and do the 12 steps!
Jomez commentary infinitely better with Nate Sexton. Jerm and Paul are great, but Nate is the best. Also, Corey has a new fan in me because of all he has overcome and because he is from WV.
That form review is crazy. I dont know how he makes the disc come straight back into his hand let alone catch it flawlessly! Is that Nates signature boomerang disc?
I love the Idio shoes that Nate’s wearing. I’m waiting for those exact blue ones but all they list on their website are 3 variations of black. Are the blue ones for Nate only? A Nate sponsored color? Take my 💴 please!
Also @31:00 we cleared brush for Corey when we dodged his disc I pulled my chair right before it landed on the spot definitely didn't stomp some extra for him ;)
I just recently started throwing a new putt, the grandpa putt. the set up for this putt takes years to master. first you must tell the same couple of stories for years. only at that point can you proceed to step two, after you get within circle 2 you start with one of your stories as your competition start looking at the ground or rolling their eyes, you kick your disc 5-10 feet closer. repeat if necessary.
Takes a tremendous amount of courage to admit you've had a problem with substance abuse, but it takes real strength to overcome your demon and make use of your platform to potentially help others. Like others have said, props on you Corey. I wish you all the best.
Nate, I do sidearm and I have a running disability that rarely my other foot trips the other. So my question is there any easier X Cross Form I could look into.
i used to be into disc golf when i was younger and lost interest due to my goals but now that im burnt out a bit on goals disc golf is calling my name.. such a wonderful sport!
Hey Nate! As a primary Forehand thrower like myself, can you give me some good tips to keep my arm loose. I feel it more in the bicep and shoulder than I do with a backhand throw. also how do you flick a putter without turning it over lol?
Idk about the first one but I could never flick anything but my drivers until I started to throw the right putter, specifically one with a flat top so it has very little turn if any and is very torque resistant - pig, harp, zone, etc.
Absolutely love watching Corey Ellis play now. I'm built pretty much exactly like he is, now I just need to figure out his secrets for generating the insane power that he does.
Yeah, me too, although I am not as thin as him (200 lbs), but I enjoy his game because it is very similar to mine. I take pride throwing standstill tee shots by guys who run up!

Props to Corey for overcoming a beast. Addictions are no joke. I consider him a winner just for that

No… he’s a drug attic
@@theiviachine You can't even spell "addict" correctly and you're gonna judge the guy?
@@theiviachine bro said "attic"
Yes he’s atticted to drugs
Can we all take a moment to appreciate what jomez has done for the sport of disc golf
original
I think we do that usually every week. Sometimes a few times a weekend, haha.

@@seymourglass26 not anymore :( dgn gets most of the tournaments now
I don't watch DG anywhere else
Amazing piece on Corey Ellis! My new favorite human being!!!!!
Thomas Gilbert still managed to get in the video....Hole 1 drone flyover and there he is. He's the Waldo of disc golf.

Lol this is so true
Shout out to Corey!! Addiction is a helluva a struggle. Glad you conquered it!

Corey new player?
Post produced coverage is such an amazing way to consume the sport. If they did the same with ball golf it would blow up

Corey new player?
All I can say is thank you to Corey Ellis.
Corey new player pro scene??
Stoked to watch more Corey Ellis, he's gotta be the only pro I've seen that throws like I do (starts his shot sideways instead of facing forward)
I I do as well, plus i throw many stand stills on the tee and in the fairways. His form has helped me because of its similarity and no one questions the power he has. Wish I could putt like him!

Stuck at home with Covid. This coverage is a life saver this weekend. Thanks guys 😀
Same here
Love that smile from Simon in slowmo after the C2 putt 👍
Hey Jomez, the Player Profile is honestly one of my favorite parts about your coverage. Thank you!
I love the Form Review! I hope to see a lot more of those in the future.
Damn Jomez, why did you have to make me cry before the round, super intro with Corey and kudos to him for using his time to talk about something so personal and important ❤

Glad to be able to watch Nate on coverage!
Sexton back on coverage is always a blast!
Hole 1, the thorny shrubs that Sexton was stuck in are called Autumn Olive (Elaeagnus umbellata).
Invasive to boot. It always seems that the worse rough is some kind of invasive. Autumn Olive, Japanese Barberry, and Callery Pear.
@@babyeater89 yeah, they're very pokey. I do a lot of invasive management and the woodier stuff is a pain. Our local course has a ton of bush and vine honeysuckle, autumn olive, and multi flora rose. The shrubbery is what separates the fairways, so the city won't let us cut it out... Yet..

My favorit part of the day is when I come home from work, open a bottle of beer and JomezPro uploaded a new video.

Love the technical commentary from Nate this round. Great to have a player on the card also in the booth.
Nate, Paul and Uli, Saturday Morning is officially here! And Nate is on the card, great weekend confirmed.
I love watching Corey play disc. It's so much fun.

So glad to have Jomez back in the scene! Thanks for all you guys do! Tired of recaps.
Thank you!!!!! Far to long this content is needed.
Corey Ellis may have just become my favorite new disc golfer. I am 3 years sober from alcohol. It has completely changed my life for the best.
Love that player pictures are back on the thumbnails!
You make Pittsburgh proud Cory
As someone who has also had to struggle with alcohol, I always love to hear stories of those overcoming addiction. Thank you Corey for telling your story.
Love post Produced coverage.
Love coming home from a hot 🥵 round of disc golf to watch the first round in the AC. Thanks Jomez!
Awesome coverage, but oh my. I would love nothing more than the Form Review to become a mainstay. That is so incredibly valuable for players looking to make the next step.
Very pumped for this card! Thank you jomez for the early coverage
3 years sober and life and disc golf have never been better!!!
COREY ELLIS , thank you for sharing!! the disc golf world is behind you
The fact that Corey took his moment to be Honest, Open, and Willing about alcoholism, that it is part of who we are, takes some fortitude.
However it can become a strength of character when embraced like Corey has.
This is the first time I've seen any of the guys in the booth, on the card. It's great to hear and see what they went through
Glad your guys are back!!!
Hey Corey, I'm from Barboursville, same as you. Crazy to think we went to the same high school and here you are now! Keep up the hard work
I skipped the DGPT highlights video yesterday so I could see this first 👍
Huge props to Corey for overcoming and sticking with it. I myself struggled with opioids and it's an uphill battle everyday! Need to realize the problem and surround yourself with positive people and do the 12 steps!

I feel like it’s been forever since JoMez has blessed us with coverage.
Best compliment on form I've ever gotten was you throw forehand like Nate. Being from Corvallis Oregon that's cool beans right there
I love the Idio shoes that Nate’s wearing. I’m waiting for those exact blue ones but all they list on their website are 3 variations of black. Are the blue ones for Nate only? A Nate sponsored color?
Take my 💴 please!
Finally man!!! Love you guys in jomezpro
Also @31:00 we cleared brush for Corey when we dodged his disc I pulled my chair right before it landed on the spot definitely didn't stomp some extra for him ;)
“The whole time Corey was filming that interview I was still in the bushes!” Lmao love Nate
Thank you team Jomez. 🙏
So pumped for this card!!
I love the new Idio form review! Keep them coming!
can’t wait for this tournament
I just recently started throwing a new putt, the grandpa putt. the set up for this putt takes years to master. first you must tell the same couple of stories for years. only at that point can you proceed to step two, after you get within circle 2 you start with one of your stories as your competition start looking at the ground or rolling their eyes, you kick your disc 5-10 feet closer. repeat if necessary.
So just about as long to execute as Nikko’s putt? 😂
Jomez is back!! Yessss!!
One of the best player spotlights!
Did Nate move the bushes with his left hand on 1 when he was throwin his 2nd shot from the tall stuff?
Fun Dave Feldberg fact: He had a front row seat to McBeth's -18 at DGLO in 2018. He and McBeth were tied at -11 coming into round 2.
Corey Ellis is a hero ❤️
Takes a tremendous amount of courage to admit you've had a problem with substance abuse, but it takes real strength to overcome your demon and make use of your platform to potentially help others. Like others have said, props on you Corey. I wish you all the best.
Man I've missed you guys!

We need to get these guys a telestrator.
Nate out there raw doggin the sun, no hat or sunnies. Im impressed.
That slow mo on hole 5 for sexton was really cool!
Thank you Corey Ellis , thank you so much for your words. that meant a lot for me to hear and hopefully for many others. your the man
Watching this before being on lead card tomorrow
Much love and respect for ellis!!! Really made me feel for him.
I have a very similar throwing style to Ellis. Stand still drives and a ton of snap but hard to control
I fell in love with that Nate sexton firefly putter! I use it over the p2 now!!!
Simon on the way to being world champion
Form review was a great idea 😊
shout out to Corey for talking about alcohol addiction and also repping that grassroots shirt! good looks homie
I appreciate this card so much
