Want more hot disc golf action???

Mind Body Disc has you covered. Every Sunday we’ll bring you a featured round of the week so you can keep the disc golf going even after you stop playing!

This week we are featuring final round coverage of the Australian Open, played on the Mundaring disc golf park in Perth, Australia on January 29 through February 1, 2015. This was the first PDGA major of the year in 2015 and the final round features 4 of the best disc golfers on the planet:

Paul McBeth
Simon Lizotte
Ricky Wysocki
Dave Feldberg

This round is featured this week for several reasons….

First, the Spin TV does some of the most professional disc golf coverage out there. There product is very polished and is very enjoyable to watch. Front 9 commentary is capably handled by Jamie Thomas and back 9 commentary is done by Jamie and Jussi Meresmaa. It’s very cool to have Jussi on the final 9 as he is one of the course designers as well as the tournament promoter for the event. As a world class pro and an incredible course designer, he adds a lot to the round coverage.

Speaking of course design, this is a huge part of why we are featuring this round this week. There’s a lot of talk about changing basket size out there because the pro’s scores are just way too far below par. It’s thought that changing the size of the basket will fix this “problem”. In my opinion, that’s a bad idea. If we want to get scores closer to par, we should design disc golf courses in such a way that a par is a great score. The 30 foot putt should be for par, not for birdie. This course is a great example of that type of course design. Every hole is a challenge. Every hole requires thought. Placement shots and course management are what generated low scores on this course and it’s really fun to watch!!!

Lastly, I love watching these guys play in the same group. All have a different approach to the game and all attack different holes in very different ways. A great course design brings out the best in these players and they call on every disc and shot in their bag through the round. It also doesn’t hurt that Feldberg is one of my favorite players on tour.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy some really great disc golf action from down under.

There are a few reasons I wanted to feature this round this week. First, I absolutely love what Jomez Productions is doing. Those hole previews are sick! 2 camera coverage is a must in wooded courses and these guys do an outstanding job. I keep hearing people say that wooded courses are not TV friendly. I call BS on that and Jomez shows how it can be done here.

Second, the commentary is done by the guys from Another Round Disc Golf‘s Final Round Radio crew. Final Round Radio is a top notch disc golf podcast out of Charlotte. They put out a new episode every couple of weeks. These guys know disc golf and do a nice job commentating. I like the vibe they have, it’s like sitting around with your friends watching the round. They also clearly know the course well. That’s huge when it comes to quality coverage.

Third, I love watching Phil Brathwaite play. He’s definitely one cool cat and I really enjoy his approach to the game. If you are on the west coast, check out Team Philo. I hear he gives some of the best lessons around. I keep an eye on that page hoping that he’ll be in my area at some point and I can take one.

Finally, I love wooded disc golf and this course looks amazing. On my short list of things to do is hit the Charlotte area for a disc golf trip. RL Smith is on the list of courses I want to play while I’m there.

So sit back and get some more disc golf into your weekend with the final 9 of the 21 Hole Salute!

This week we are featuring the first round of the Volunteer Classic X played at Morningside Park in Knoxville, TN.

What I love about this round is that on almost every hole you will see four distinctly different approaches. It’s great to see all the different ways these top players attack each basket. Hole 9 is a really great example of this.

I also love how the DiscEye takes the time to show us what each player is throwing! That’s a big miss on the part of almost everyone else who does disc golf videos!

So sit back, relax, and cap off your weekend with the Volunteer Classic X!
