Hey Tyler! I’m a disc golfer from Rochester, and I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos. They are so helpful and entertaining and it’s so cool to see someone so good playing courses I play all the time! So thank you for all the videos man!
No love for Denison man? Ahh that's alright, course style and play is a big mental plus to your point of which course you select to play. Playing at your home course or similar style gives a mental boost for sure. Denison is definitely cathartic to hit as a PA guy with a lot of park style practice. Would be awesome to see you avenge some bad blood at Sandbagger or Haunted Waters upcoming!
@@MTGcowfish I’m registered for haunted waters! I actually found a new appreciation for denison during denison meltdown this year. Hoping I can have a hot round next time I’m there.
Appreciate the content. I've been viewing disc golf content for over 2 years and had recently discovered yours. I have a question that's been burning a hole in my brain for awhile now. Is disc golf the only sport that attracts newer or novice players that "think or feel or imagine" that they can throw like a pro in a year. Here's my point. No one picks up football and thinks or even phathoms that they can throw like Tom Brady. Yet, in disc golf EVERYONE coming into the game begins this effort and most become "let down" when they cannot throw 400 feet after a season. Tom Brady played as a young guy in high school and had those intermediate years, then college, then pro. It TOOK YEARS to develop the distance. Yet again, here we are in our 1st couple of years wondering why we don't have elite distance. Why?
@@lawrence8834 Personally, I played many years of high-ish level ultimate before coming to disc golf so throwing car came easier to me than others. Still, I knew it would take years to really get up there. I think you may be seeing some selection bias here. I spend a lot of time around a ton of disc golfers, tournaments, leagues, lessons. The vast majority of people don’t think they can throw like pros. It’s probably more likely that you’re just seeing the most outspoken people. In fact, I would even say I see the opposite is more common. Many people act as if what the pros do is basically unachievable. It’s part of what drove me to want to become better, because to me it seemed doable. I’m sure there’s some subset of people who think disc golf is easy because it’s just “throwing a frisbee”. I’m sure it’s similar to many other sports. Like I’m sure just as many people (if not more) think they can hit a golf ball 300+ yards in a year.

Sweet video! Happy to see you climb in the ratings. Really liked how you analyse your game and improvements. And RIP to the Firebird :(
