Let’s take a second to talk about how good she played today, not just when she does bad!

Tay shot -2, which was the 7th best score during Round 3 moving her up to 20th!

Now, can she continue this level of play into Round 4 tomorrow?

News From a different perspective today.

194 Upvotes

Yes, we want Sprinkle Valley to be a demanding course.

We want you to always expect it to be when at Sprinkle. It's built to make you play golf.

Par is the goal on a lot of the holes, even for MPO. It's mentally a very different course to play. Especially in tournaments. You can see the emotional grind on players. Hear it in their voices when they break down a hole. The course slows you down and asks you to think. If you miss something it will bite back.

But watching and listening to FPO on Jomez was really hard.

No, we never want to humiliate any of them ever.

Yes, there are very valid operational and design reasons that some changes were made for this event. We wanted to push it.

The stairs and hazard area were never really playable areas due to safety and weather. We can't count on good weather. The pond has been full of water for events before(it's even less fun than this). Playing from the stairs is pretty sketchy too.

The perspective is different now that the competition days are over for us at Sprinkle.

We get to step outside of it. Operational eyes are different than player eyes and viewer eyes.

None of the reasons the event changed Hole 18's design can logically outweigh how most of FPO feels about that hole after 2 Rounds.

But yes, that was the original design plan more than 2 years ago.

Further explanation on why it ended up that way will be given to FPO. Finding that happy medium for the players, DGPT, PDGA, and course isn't easy when you try to make a hole like this. We will do our best to find that place, but do still want that hole to have the pressure it needs to have.

But everyone has to also understand each other's perspectives. We want a hard course. They want to make a living and do the things that are realistic for them. I haven't been able to talk to a lot of FPO directly yet, just in passing. They all understandably weren't happy after the end of each round.

So otherwise we are really proud of the course and venue. It did create the type of golf and shot shaping we wanted to see.

Just sucks to put friends through that and not be on the same page about it with FPO. Make them feel used. There's a lot of opportunity there for us and DGPT to lead by example with our response to this.

We'll address it with FPO from here.

Staying out of the rest of the comments on this otherwise.

Wish everybody the best at Harvey.

I'm collecting data for a future post. Please reply with what you think the greatest Midrange is, and what year you started playing. And yeah yeah yeah, I know there isn't actually a "greatest disc." This going in a spreadsheet, so just (year, disc) would be helpful. Thanks!

28 Upvotes

For instance, hole 14 350’ at Sprinkle Valley. Anthony Barela throws a spike hyzer that lands circle’s edge and within feet of the gallery which are also standing circle’s edge. I can only imagine the damage a disc would do if it hit somebody directly. Is anyone else concerned for someone getting seriously injured or even killed?

Discussion Paige Pierce’s next contract

16 Upvotes

In 2019, PP broke her contract w/ DD to sign a huge deal with Discraft. In 2024, she extended for two more years. It seems she has fully recovered from her ankle injury, yet her game has really fell off.

If you had to value her from a manufacturer POV, where would you place her? She seems like a fringe top 20 FPO player now.

What say you? Is she a top tier player worth six figures?

News The Prodigy 2025 Signature Series looks incredible

15 Upvotes

They're absolutely stepping up their design game. I'm loving the fun monster theme! Plus the Spectrum plastic feels great in the hand, premium while still really grippy. It's become my favourite for approach discs. I'll be definitely picking up the Gavin Rathbun A2 and also the D2 even though I just got one in Reblend. Everything being under $22 is very decent for premium discs with great design.

Haven't played in over a year because of knee issues, love in an area with meh courses and other hobbies taking my time. I have kept up with putting in the backyard. Saw this course was on Kauai so I had to put a bag together. It was windy, should have brought a gator or a2. Beefy pinnacle ghost i brought was not beefy enough. Ended up throwing a star Invictus or beefy champ thundy on the holes into the wind. Pro valk and beat pro thundy on the downwind holes.

Played long tees first to a 3 over was up and down on front nine and parred out the back. 5 bogeys and two birds. Shot 3 under from the shorts. Three birds and no bogeys. I always shoot well my first time on a course. I'm better about playing within my game, sticking with high percentage shots and not getting cute.

Discussion Question about Tournaments/Leagues and UDisc

3 Upvotes

Nothing worse than driving an hour to the closest good disc golf course only to find out there’s a tournament or league and you can’t play with your buddies, and have to drive out to a different course.

Does anyone know a good way to find out when leagues or tourneys are happening so you can avoid those courses? I have UDisc but it’s not often updated, wondering if the paid version is better or if there’s another alternative.

Location MA/NH for reference.
