Question - Do you feel there should be an awards ceremony rather than giving them a trophy after the final putt?
They still need to sign and finalize their card
What if they win by one but they mess up their scorecard which ends up making them lose

Final Question - How much time do you actually play during a round of disc golf?
Minus walking, grabbing a disc, looking at your line
Just throwing
15 minutes… that’s it

Final Final Question - Should the sport change to challenge the top 5 distance throwers or should distance not be the only thing taken into consideration for Tour events?
Are we forcing competitors out too early due to their age and losing some distance?

First thing is first… shoutout to DGN for taking ownership of an error on their end and fixing the problem with minimal back and forth!
30 Second Rule
Cupcake averaged 45 seconds
Gossage says he didn’t call Cupcake on his lengthy putting routine as it didn’t bother him Should PDGA have marshalls on course to make these calls?

Is this an excuse just in case of bad play
Brodie Smith and his lack of drive
https://youtu.be/TptF1jfezoc?si=wYneHb_WgKkeONcf
Is it a mid-life crisis situation… as he said was a possibility
Does he want to start a family with Kelsey now seeing as how he will be 37 this year Was it the challenge of getting better and reaching 1000 and pro status
Is being good what makes you stay competitive
Is it discouraging to see the field of competition so good
Is being successful in other areas overtaking the desire to be good in competition Will Brodie only stay involved in disc golf just on the back end (owning a business) I’m sure people will dog him as he got what he wanted out of disc golf and now he is
going to move on to rippin packs of sports cards - Darkhorse Sports Cards on YouTube I, Nick, still enjoy his raw perspective and how he is vocal about the things that need to be discussed
