It's really been nice getting to see the full range of FPO talent in these coverages. Martsch, Veladiaz, Handley, Castruita, Henderson, and likely more to come.
Impressed by how smooth Aria throws. Difficult to watch Hailey out there, especially after her comment about how soft the course was. Can relate to Hailey throwing a putt from a discarded disc instead of a marker. Props to her for calling herself out for doing that.
I get the feeling that if Kat Mertsch wins this... the Victory interview may be quite interesting and maybe some pent up emotions will reveal themselves.
Watching H King this round is a great example of what happens when you lose your mental game. Hope to see her reel it back in cause she’s a solid player
Aria is 16....? Holy moly shes got skills. Itll be fun watching her game grow. Keep it up girl! Thanks for all the coverage you guys do! Awesome content. Definitely love it when (at least the tee off shot) shows what disc they throw.
It has been known for decades and not only in disc golf. Local players know local routes, landing zones and almost every tree on the course. If the same course and layout is played for years, they lose that advantage, because others get the course knowledge and experience over time. I'm not a pro but I have given tips to pro players about my local course. Not all routes etc. are obvious and not noticed by all the pros, especially on wooded courses. It is not uncommon to see mediocre player play 1000 rated rounds at home couse, but 900 rated rounds when they play elsewhere.
Perfect comparison between Kat and Haley where one is having fun and vibing and the other is taking it dead serious and putting way too much pressure on herself. If you can handle all the pressure its fine but I really think Kat's mindset is way better over the course of multiple rounds/a whole season. Both are killing it though obviously! Great coverage as always.
I think Miss King (hopefully that's the right pronoun) mental game isn't completely there. Just judging that on multiple things I seen and assume after watching quite a few holes. It's definitely frustrating though for them. Edit: it was definitely enjoyable watching Kat. I have never really noticed her before (I used to watch tournaments way back like 5-7 years ago and took a break until a few months ago) but never seen her, but became a fan after this tournament. Her vibe is just amazing.
About Kat's left handed throw: The reason why it stood out so much was because it was clunky (not smooth at all) and she did a stutter-step at the end. I was like, "what was that?"
I am confused about Hailey´s play at hole 7... shouldn't´t she get an extra stroke for "practice shot"? I counted to 6 shots with the penalty (5 + 1) but she only got a bogey? How come?😕
I was thinking the same thing. She misplayed her 3rd shot, should take a penalty stroke, then missed her putt for 5, dropped in for 6. Maybe there's a quirk in the how the rule reads... I didn't look it up.
Hailey has to get her mental game figured out. She looks like a local just getting angry and hucking discs to finish a bad round. She is so good, it’s like she doesn’t recognize how incredible her talent is.

Both of you have fantastic voices. I always enjoy your commentary!
gentle, soothing honks !
commentary is good and smooth as a Jessica Weese forhand. I am glad Erica is not upset about the rain.
I still miss having all four scores along the bottom during the round. great commentary!

“Go ahead and roast me” - Now *that's* a hot goose! 😂
That rainfall, and your voices, would be nice to fall asleep to.

What a great shout
Spoiler Shield ❤
Stop
@4:00 Aria effortlessly launches that disc and it looks like she could be spreading bubbles

After Isaac last weekend, it’s clear the locals have advantages

wondering why there is no scores at the beginning? guess I gotta go look at the r1b9 video end

Dope Parks & Rec shirt!
BEEP! BEEP! I'm enjoying your commentary every week. You're actually kind of like ASMR when listening to you, it's so relaxing.✌🏼

I would be bummed on the cameras standing directly in line behind the basket when I'm putting, if I were a pro disc golfer.
SAGGY BRANCHES playing live Friday night at the Agora.
Hooonk!
Hailey playing like she has a plane to catch
27:20 That's on both her and her caddy.
nice

I absolutely love my 4x mcBeth champion thunderbird I will be extremely sad if I ever lose it 😅
King gets in her head so easily.
*HONK* 📣
Kat shouldve gone lefty again😂
Forehand almost went OB
Now I want to see hot goose left-handed backhand drives. Honk!
Whoever is doing the names of discs and players needs to get better. Missys 2nd shot on 7 said she was “Kat Mertsch”
HOONK
You put this out at midnight but can’t get MPO up by 12 eastern? Adapt or die Jonathan. I’ll just watch GK.
Honk!
Honk
Did they really start this by saying “we are the two honkeys” ? Unless I misunderstood, that’s pretty offensive 😅
It's "two hot geese" which is the name of their commentary team
@@mindyk6144 thank god lol. I was quite confused
I just can't get into the fpo...
