How about you worry about YOUR game and not another people’s game or what manufacturer they’re throwing .You’re probably a nobody that doesn’t even play sanction tournaments. Get off the comments and go practice.😂 Team Lieutenant 2024…..

Wait? They the DGPT cut Bill?! I met that amazing guy at Pier Park during the pro tour NW run. Amazing guy. Ran into him on the course and carded up after hole 7. Then I saw him handling the crowd on the lead card of the Portland Open and he was asking trivia questions and keeping it super light and fun. Bill is the best.
Saw this coming a mile away. Now there's going to be even less coverage of events. Less exposure. Just not great in general for disc golf. It's already felt pretty meh the past two seasons.
Ever since I’ve started watching professional disc golf it’s been pretty much a “secondary” professional sport. Bowling and darts get more coverage. Heck, PGA players of 60 years ago were winning greater tournament purses than 2024 disc golfers, and those were in absolute 1964 dollars, even a far greater gap if you adjust to 2024 dollars.
I thought I noticed a bunch of new cameramen at Idlewild. Tough. The VP of operations was doing Bills job. Tbh that was the first time I’ve panicked myself.
Any organization worth their salt would be warning employees they aren't meeting expectations before termination allowing them a chance to correct their actions and if they do terminate it's not a huge surprise.
I’m going to break some massive spoiler news for the dgpt. Gateway has a new basket that is going to be chosen for the upcoming 2025 tour. This basket has a delay that allows the disc to drop in the bucket. Your welcome.
I think maybe Robert planned to tour with Emily and lonestar didn’t want chandler in the van by himself, I can’t see other reason why Robert would t just get the van to tour.
Love you guys but I'm weary of so much drama going on that it takes up so much of the "conversation." I need/crave lots more of the, "hey lets dissect this cool anhyzer in slowmo!" I'm glad you guys end on the positive.
@@nolowputts Inflation has been rough. In 2014 gold was $1200/oz, its now sitting at $2510/oz. I get your point though. I say let the sponsors pay these guys not the spectators.
I am part of the disc golf community and I am not shocked at all. Not even a little bit. Nothing disc golf or disc golf related should ever be considered shocking. It's just disc golf. Freaking relax. Calm TF down, and STAY OUT OF OTHER PEOPLE'S BUSINESS! The phrase, "disc golf drama," is beyond laughable. Grow up.
Unfortunately this is what happens when players want larger contracts and the sport boomed and has come back down to reality. Companies have too much inventory sitting and profits trump the good will of players. I dont agree its right but its the reality.
Greed. Everything about the game became ugly when the money began to make the OG dudes and a few newcomers (mostly in media, where narcissists rule) rich. The integrity of the game itself was ruined by the effort to take it out of the hilly woodlands and turn it into a glorified distance competition with fake OB for the sake of coverage (not to mention that the game was once always free and now galleries and concessions and flymarts make more than ever). It didn't help when celebrity spokesmodels who couldn't play became that fan favorites of the shallow and stupid (and her BF's inhuman and emotionless reaction to acing the same hole was proof of the narcissism inherent in the game, from a psycho like Uli getting punched out to all the fake shows of emotion and fist bumps on the final tee before 'celebrating' the win). The game itself (because of the courses) and the players are all just too ugly to market. Lone Star makes garbage discs, so I'm not surprised (though it's hard to believe they ruined a top 5 talent like Oliva and I wonder how she ended up being the new Kona). Josh Hofstra is also involved in numerous businesses, and we might point out that both MBAs and Marketing are top 10 sociopath professions at over 75%, and take what he says with a grain of salt (can only imagine a narcissist lying about being physically threatened). The growth after COVID was far too fast, and the old mantra about 'grow the sport' was out of date in 1997 by the time I'd been playing for 5 years because in that year it became the fastest growing sport in the world, a title it held each year UNTIL COVID (Pickle Ball is now fastest growing). It ranked #4 then, but has really been 3rd in the world in sales and amateur participation since 1997 (simply because running shoes are sold mostly to non runners, while tennis and gold still reign supreme in sales). So, you have a sport that has become largely unwatchable because the courses are now bad, the players are all either spoiled entitled upper middle class kids or Alt Right southerners with ugly personalities and even worse fashion, largely terrible media coverage (it only started getting good a few years after 2015), and a few greedheads who made out like bandits are now preparing for the implosion (as they should). Can't say I really care anymore, except that I do like seeing the courses. I put my heart and soul in the game by the early 90s and did it for the pure passion of the sport and wanted to be the best in the world (I was just a bit too old when I started). I volunteered and helped build courses and cleaned them up and sat on local boards. Before I realized that almost everyone around me that seemed cool was a greedy narcissist who was only in it for the money.

Love you guy but I have to pause your videos 30 times a video because you don’t leave any tweet or post up long enough to read.
Almost like the editor's understand that pause is a thing. Do you expect him to have a moment of silence while you read?
Thanks for the shout out guys. See you at Worlds.

Whatever happened to that cool league idea that Philo Brathwaite et al we're going to start?
Lone star is embarrassing Houston big time. They just can’t pull their heads out of the sand.
10 dollars! That's what a ticket should cost! Period ever!
Free. The game was free and will be free again.
People are quickly loosing interest at 35 dollars a disc
2014 World's in Portland (Blue Lake Park) was free. I was there. Historic playoff between Paul and Ricky.
Free would have galleries which would stir more interest. 75... no effing chance and I'm s lifer 40 year player

My best bet would be Nikko Locastro is the player owed royalties
Or do they still owe Emerson Keith! That would be wild
All I care about is improving disc golf course design.

Lone Star should just get out of DG.Sounds like they don't have the bankroll to pay for it.
Wish I could go and watch Worlds in Virginia. I would definitely try to find you guys. I'll just yell "Where are you two the GOOFBALLS at"? 😂

What if we shorten it a bit: Ezra “Nickname” Robinson
Congratulations to Kristin and Silver. God bless you both
