    -16? Boom. New course record just like that. 👍💪 I was wondering the same thing why you don't play like that in tournaments. It's simple. Out here you're just playing for fun. In tournaments you have a ton of expectations and pressure riding on your shoulders. It's just added weight holding us back. The more light and fun we make things, the more enjoyable our lives can become. Nice shootin!!

    I think the nature appreciation moments are underrated. It's important to recognize and appreciate the natural surroundings of the courses you play, and I'm always glad to see what interesting things appear. Bugs and birds today, water another day, cool trees or plants another--nature is a huge part of disc golf and most don't recognize that to the extent they should.

    You are the best disc golfer in the world when you are just playing for fun. When you’re relaxed. Your putting is such a simple clean stroke when you’re on these videos and you don’t take a long time with them.
    Just go up and bang em like they don’t matter cause they don’t. None of them do. It’s just a game, a game you play better than anyone. So stop trying to compete, just go play.
    Love your channel.

    Simon…just take one event, and pretend that you’re doing your vlog instead of playing in the tournament LOL
    Kidding obviously, We’re talking epic courtesy violation, but after being introduced on the first teepad, he’s got to look into Jerry’s Jomez camera, and start in with “alight guys, welcome to hole 1, I’m joined by my guests Ricky Wysocki, Eagle McMahon, and Paul McBeth. This is a crusher right out of the gate, I’m going to try to get this new PD2 all the way down and left for an eagle look”…flips the PD2 in his hand during the x-step and blasts it. And then proceeds to play the entire round like that.
    “Well guys, good track. It was great to win this weekend. For now…enjoy the Jomez shot of the day 👊🏻” 🤣

    Also, this past April, an unused golf course was modified for disc golf and was used to host the 2021 College Disc Golf National Championship. There are two courses, one short and one long, but both challenging. Beautiful course with many nature appreciation moments. My understanding is that it's run by the North Cove Disc Golf and Social Club in Marion, NC. It's not too far from USDGC -- about 2-1/2 hours away. You should try that course!

    Hi Simon, you asked why you don"t put the same on tour as you did in this video. It"s your internal self talk. I can hear your mostly negative thinking when you speak. If you use "Not Bad", "This will be challenging"''. "He can't do it folks", "I'm in position but way too short", Not a terrible result", and others. I did not hear you say much at all that was positive and self appreciative. Do you get my point? I Love how genuine you are as a person and everyone can feel that. That is why you have an amazing following, me included. Please just pay attention to your internal and external self talk and change it to mostly positive self loving appreciative statements and your game WILL improve a lot.

    I love the ideas but as someone who is in Maine (state is pretty much entirely pay to play) I think 10-12 is too much for a round. If it's per day, definitely worth it but it won't be as appealing to folks who want to just swing by for a quick round. Also, if that facility can actually bring in the "member's lounge" like they mentioned with pool and darts than 10-12 is a steal.

      In my experience established courses charge less and courses that still need equipment or work done to them will charge $10-12 to pay for that stuff. There is a course in the Santa Cruz area that was damaged by wildfires for instance so they raised their prices in order to get the course back in good shape faster than they could have charging $5. Everyone seems happy to pay it. It’s still less than a dollar a hole and everyone benefits from it.

      @@JJ79_ I wouldn’t say they are common here but they’re definitely around. They’re usually a little nicer or more unique than typical disc golf courses and offer more amenities. This isn’t a public park that’s maintained with tax payer money. It’s private land that will require tons of equipment and maintenance to keep it nice. They’ll have to pay for all of that somehow. If the course is nice enough and has a beer garden and pro shop and all the other stuff they’re talking about having there, I’d have no problem paying a few bucks to play there. I paid way more than $12 to play the course in Yosemite but it also offered a different experience than I could get at any normal park course. I wouldn’t pay to play every day but sometimes it’s fun to get that unique experience that parks can’t offer. We have pay to play on private land, ski slopes etc. Anywhere disc golf would be cool but can’t be publicly funded.

    It's all what happens in your head. In videos and practice rounds you are much more relaxed. In a tournament you gotta worry about score and then if you aren't doing well thats just more doubt creeping in

    Only an hour and a half away? What the? I thought there were tons of courses in America. In Estonia, the closest course to me is like a 3 minute car-drive, another 3 courses 13-15 min away and within 30 minutes there are like 30 courses.

    Here's a free idea for this and any other disc golf course: Install cameras like Disney does on the log ride which take photos of all the players on a particular hole or holes, then sell the videos to anyone who did well. Kind of like an "Instant Follow Flight" thing. People would pay big for that.
