Paul McBeth, basically the Lebron James of disc golf, just shot a -18

I played disc golf weekly 20 years ago. But I wasn't usually sober...

How much $$ did he win

 

Is that's what he's doing these days?

Gone pretty far sidelining as a bartending, 4-on-1 street brawler who happens to live with a bunch of hot college roommates.

 

fun to play with some friends and a J. some of those were insane shots.

 

wait, those aren't all Par-3s. He has some 5-pars and 4-pars. I'm less impressed. I'd have to see the course. Without seeing the course, I'd be more inclined to be blindly impressed by a -18 on eighteen Par-3 holes.

 

I came for the disc golf, I stayed for the announcing.

 

The next big thing....Miniature Disc Golf.

 

I don't know what's happening but that looked pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.

 

I didn't say there is anything wrong with how they do Par. I'm sure, just like real golf, those Par 4s can not be reached from the tee. I'm just saying (as a very skilled amateur and long time player), that Par 4 and 5s are nearly always easier for me to Birdie....they give you the ability to make an in-hole correction for birdie, like he did on that 16 hole.

Plus, the ability to pull off an eagle, really helps. Like he did on an early hole. Those are easier to get than hole-in ones.

The Alll, Par 3s courses are exhausting, because I feel like I have to make a nearly flawless drive on every hole. Thus, while that course might be one of the hardest pro courses, I'd have to see it vs a Par-3 course. I'd be more blindly impressed with 18 birdies in a row...even without seeing the course...sorta like a 900 in league bowling.

make sense?

 

Kind of cool but I was thinking really small discs and specialized small disc basket holes (SSDBH). The course would also be optimized smaller and each hole would be surrounded by netting all around (w/ door cutouts). This is so you can do throws where the disc bounces off the net. My personal formulas have found that the 5" miniature discs I've designed (patent pending) will bounce off the an adjustably tensioned net with a consistent degree of accuracy, bouncy, and veracity making for some incredibly insane shots that otherwise would just not be possible. Plus, each hole will be themed with modern themes...not just your standard Egypt pyramid theme, your standard waterfall theme, etc. .. I will also have live birds target practice in one net enclosure and, if you hit a bird, then you get to take it home with you (up to 5 limit per person).

Oh well...it was just one idea I had.

 

More fun and respectable than regular golf.

 

Disc golf deserves an 80's style movie with a group of underdogs challenging the local preps to a game to keep the (whatever) and the main character gets the girl. Lots of non-enhanced boobies.

 

Beer Golf on the Rice U campus was always fun.

 

So basically Dodgeball.
