p.o.v. it's summer 2024. wait no uh no arc? i can't see my natural arc? that could be worse. whole timer 50 seconds excuse me. nailed it. okay we go spinner. huge we're in there. how did every oh i'm in last. i thought i did pretty well on it so i thought i did all right. what the heck okay it's over there. forehand will serve us well here. perfect throw.
-
1:16
a little bit into the thicket, that's alright. damn, right around the amanitas. i think on this one we're gonna need a nasty type curve, man. i don't know what direction to curve it. that was so much better than i could have expected given my lack of confidence going in. and then natural fade? natural fade? bro, you're literally gonna get me poisoned if you keep six seven! oh, i can't do a spin shot, okay. wait, i'm holding my own, bro. kind of.
-
2:14
where is it? right in there. okay. the mid range jumper. 100% belief. bro, where's my natural fade? where's my natural fade to the other? oh, because my mid range doesn't fade as much. oh. your fade is a zero on that disc. it will not fade. i'm hearing my fade is a zero. it will not fade. okay. noted. 111 meters. this one we want to switch to the forehand. so we get our natural fade. angle's a little bit scuffed on that one. we're going way off.
-
3:14
damn, this was wide open too. 28 meters away with a little bit of wind aiming uphill. no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 30 seconds, okay. tactical branches, perfect lie for a bogey. i can live with that to be honest with you, that's not too crazy. under the branch, you know what? i can live with that. you gotta be careful with the water hazard at the back. damn, it's got it.
-
4:09
shit was skipping on the damn water. go lower! go lower! oh. once you see me in this pose, your life is already over. oh. well, take your time, boys. damn, these guys are pros. what? the arrows, ma oh, you have to go through the i have to go through baldi's gate? oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
-
5:23
oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god,
-
6:22
okay, okay, okay. the only thing in bounds on that one is the green. it's a cruel course man. hopefully it's not the case for this one. i'm gonna drop it like right on top of this beast with a little bit of height so that it comes down. it's turning in the other direction. they've wired my disc backwards to nerf me. absolutely beautiful putt. copy my homework.
-
7:14
okay, this one actually could be peak. it goes almost perfectly straight, slightly uphill, literally better than blue shirt. can't be mad. and a perfect putt. put me back in against these guys, we can make it a little bit more interesting. i'm not saying i'm gonna get minus eight on nine holes, that's obviously insane. we made it a little bit respectable. final score plus three, whatever. i'm literally farming activity points. elite level putting?
-
8:06
that is elite level putting keep that going. can i go? can i leave the game? put me back in coach. i don't want to play solo. i made a mistake. thanks for playing. i've quit the game because the buttons on my controller are inverted. today's the day man. today is the day that i buy an xbox controller online rebind them in steam input. no, i'm not literally what year were you born? it shouldn't be like that. i shouldn't be rebinding the controller in steam input.
-
8:58
you should plug in the controller and it should just work. we'll put an xbox controller in the amazon card. it's that simple. get an 8 bit though, ultimate 2.
-
9:13
yo, holy shit. no, samir diskov, isn't that the pro? hello, akronov, aka austin matthews, by the way. the reason i'm not gonna get an 8bitdo ultimate controller is because when i plug it in and if it ever says we don't recognize this as an xbox controller, i'm gonna freak the fuck out and be like, why didn't i just get an xbox controller? and you know what the worst part is, is that everybody in the chat is gonna go, chat, why'd you tell him to get an 8bitdo ultimate? you know he's a basic xbox guy.
-
9:44
holy shit, that's that this breeze ain't gentle man. you are lying. wait, i'm the goat? motherfucker. tap it in. acornov, what are you what are we doing here acornov? come on. mother trucker dude. i see it down there. let her rip. hit the tree. yeah, yeah off the off the trunk no less. gentle breeze my my tuchus.
-
10:55
might have overshot it a little bit. luckily the forest has always been there for me. that's out of bounds, unfortunately. no, i'd say no run up required on this one. wait, it was almost... amazing? oh! we can do this. how did akarnov do? is akarnov okay? bro, switch to your push shot. what's happening here? the hell was that? why won't he push now? bro, that's my only move! you won't do a push shot anymore!
-
12:24
197 motherfucking meters. you gotta be trolling. under the branch. mother trucker, dude. under the branch. no, no, no. fuck up the angles that it goes around. whatever. maybe better than what i planned anyway. don't be out of bounds. motherfucker, dude. wind's pushing me back? that actually felt like throwing a real disc. he won't push anymore. do the push! plus nine. whatever. it's me versus akronov now.
-
13:47
you're not on push? i'm pressing, i'm holding the button that i was previously holding to do push and it's not pushing anymore. they put out a hit against me man. the hell, i'm at the damn, the damn crossroads? he's gonna run into the fence. mediocre throw my ass. look at that. almost landed it right on top of the totem pole. wind me, wind me! i need the, i need the arc again man. i need to be able to spin it again. whatever, we take those. how we doing with akronov?
-
15:13
holy cow, you almost took my damn head off. mmm, almost had it there bud, almost had it. oh, it's a... we got ourselves a damn game. 71 meters, should be pretty good with the mid ranger. we want to swap to the other hand though. we want to flip the disc around slightly. we need to change the angle a little bit to throw it like this. mission accomplished.
-
16:12
now pushes no longer exist unfortunately. you're going to aim low with much lower power than you're used to. literally much, much better. okay, huge. you're on push bro. i'm not holding it against the game. something's not right with this controller. it says nintendo switch on it but there's a bitcoin miner in it or something. 69 meters away right there. okay, so this is we go forehand. you're threading the needle right there.
-
16:59
you're fucking nutty with it, but i love it. not a bad idea, man. damn, there we go. maybe we'll just copy what the pros are doing. acornoff. acornoff. no pressure, buddy. we're closing in. three holes remain. okay, this is... they should get all these damn trees out of the way. they really want to golf, man. gentle breeze this way. aim right at the tree. you dodge the tree, then your natural fade will bring you around the tree.
-
18:09
had the right idea, i think. 22 meters away. wind is pushing us that way. aim here. less power than you expect. send it right at the tree trunk. and then, less power than you expect. dead ahead. oh! almost got it. tap it in. akronov, not e. oh, akronov, you're on the damn pier, bro! you're gonna get a dnf! oh, that's... little too much mustard on that one.
-
18:54
yes! yes! 59 meters straight up. nah, bro, you can't go putter on this one. this is a mid range play. and then you want it to catch the wind mightily. right there. 41 meters. but not out of bounds. did akeronov get it in already? holy cow. there's just too many damn trees, man. it all comes down to the last hole. 63 meters. oh, it's right there.
-
19:49
with the wind pushing this way, you just want to loft it straight onto the chains, man. the tree will save me. absolutely huge. that's a look at the fucking anthill, bro! i don't want to be hidden there, i got bare feet! oh, tap it in. how'd we do oh, no! no! what do you mean difficulty one?! final score plus nine. you set a new longest drive. hole five alone cost you three out of bounds strokes. yeah, that wasn't great. that wasn't awesome.
-
20:50
on the bright side, i'm two fifths of the way done my placements. dude is number two in the world anyway. i mean look at his shirt man, a samurai jack. i gotta know what this says. proud owner. proud owner of what? we may never know. okay, 99 meters. i think we might have just played this one. 99 meters straight up. put me right here.
-
21:47
now you decide to have a bit of a natural fade, huh? under the fence and out of bounds. oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. this hole's rough at the pin too? aw hell no. don't be telling me that. i guess i'll just have to sink it on my second shot then which is actually my fourth shot. but actually that could have been worse honestly.
-
22:23
i mean after the absolutely disastrous first shot that could have been a lot worse. okay, 72 meters downhill, mid range definitely the play. do me a favor put me on the freaking forehand of this one. aim down, give her a send. that's not the way you're supposed to curve bro, you're supposed to curve the other way. then just tap, just tap, tap, tap it in. acronaut came to play today, they are at a minus one already. what about proud owner though?
-
23:09
we just stretching? what's going? ooh! tough luck. the little green bar on the right side tells you where it's curving. the little green bar on the right side. but then i was curving... oh, because it was a different disc, man. because it was a different motherfucking disc. now it curves this way. okay. little late. i felt the lateness on that one. great. i'm in stone. oh, no. i'm drowned. i've drowned. beautiful.
-
23:59
91 meters, little breeze. i mean this should be, this should be clean. akronov is cooking you. we got a long game to play, pup. now we're pushing. pushing you aim straight at it. oh no, no! okay, still two strokes behind. 81 meters, light breeze, slight movement to the right. i mean to me this is like, this is a very gentle hole. this should be mighty close. doesn't get any better than that.
-
24:57
only having to shoot once, that's a huge advantage. fuck. akarnov got it in two as well. akarnov did a hole in one?! nooooooo. no movement on this one. movement to the left. let's make that movement to the right. and then shoot at 73%. waaay, waaay, waaay! he's getting good at disc golf and it's making the hippies nervous. and we're already on a push, bro. so you just aim right the fuck at it.
-
25:52
absolutely beautiful textbook hole. one stroke back. 6'7", 6'7", spotted. what an arc, man. literally, basically right where i wanted it. got a little lucky to not end up in the chrome. ooh, tough luck, akernov. tough luck, because this one's going right in the chains. right in the damn chains. yeah. i mean, that's a tough one. that's a tough one. 97 meters.
-
26:49
97 meters downhill, i go mid range on that. take advantage of your natural curve, plunk it down right on top of the muskoka chairs. bit of a touchy shot. bit of a touchy shot here, i'm not gonna lie to you. imagine this though. oh, look! steph curry! steph curry! okay, 82 meters, little bit uphill, perfect mid ranger, because i want that natural angle on it too.
-
27:48
pass it right there. around the leaves for once. float it perfectly for the two tapper. wait! there's an art to this, man! ooh, that's gotta sting! that's gotta sting. 59 meters. i would go putter on that. and not even full. like, like 92%. over the log, but just over the log, and then a beautiful lie against gandalf's tree.
-
28:42
i mean if you're akronov, you gotta be wondering if i turned hacks on or something like that. that was a hell of a shot, holy cow. can i say we were actually in the mix a little bit there? especially considering i started with a double bogey. four strokes better than your recent average. 100% of your circle one putts. your short game is dialed in right now. let's go, bro. i mean i gotta at least finish my placements. this game might be goated. apple cooler.
-
29:42
we lost proud owner of something. please get in the top nine. i'll do my best, honestly. i think if i can keep it in minus three, we got a chance. damn, 124 meters in the rain. we got a slight curve to the left. let's augment that. now we want a slight curve to the right. i think we want the salty run up. right there. and then where's my natural curve? there it is. there's my natural curve. actually disc perfect. where's the fucking hole? oh, i thought it was right there. okay.
-
30:39
putter, stand still on the putter. give me this with a 50% shot. kobe, absolutely devastating out of bounds. but you know what? we hold. plus one, we hold. i mean, that's everyone was getting bodied on that one, even samir. 154 meters wide open though on the drive and it's downhill. whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! i fucked up but i recovered. although it's going a little long and a little deep. let's move to the lie on that one.
-
31:33
a little light breeze with the putter. 25 meters. float this bad boy down right on top. yes! yes! i really thought that could do it. i mean, everybody seems like they're running into trouble here. except samir, but... you guys all finished before me? 176. i want to go forehand backhand mode on this one. i want to run up. pretty much the way we drew it up. now let's see that angle kick in. probably going to be the best drive i've ever had.
-
32:39
two to three meters to the right. with the putter, i think this is a full blast putter. just aim in a little low so it doesn't overshoot it too much. nice kick on that one. and a simple push, a push putt from this distance at this point might as well be automatic. ooh! you were this close, this close, akronov. i could easily eke out a second place here. this is full mahjong strategies now.
-
33:23
199 meters. oh no, no, no, cancel, cancel! i didn't have a choice. i accidentally let go of the run up button so we started the shot. i was gonna aim around the tree. i wasn't gonna end up wedged in hadrian. oh, okay. whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! oh my god, i started the run up again. cancel it, okay. 92 meters. i mean, we're not going under the tree, so let's go forehand mode. and with the... no, no, no, you don't want... you want to go with the mid range on this bad boy.
-
34:02
and then send it low under the trees. wait, but that probably changed the curve, but it's still pretty much the way i wanted it to go. and a putter push with two meters on the wind, that's got to be a lot higher, but you know what? it's happening, we're still feeling pretty good. we don't even know where the hole is. it's 111 meters behind us. where are you guys throwing? maybe through here? what the hell? give me a run up through here. i honestly, i have no idea.
-
34:58
the natural curve will take it away. keep it... i mean, i would describe this as a fairway, if not the fairway. that's totally fine. oh, i started a damn run up. 63 meters down with the putter. aim a little low and just tap it in. just tap, tap, tap. and we got the wall behind us too. that's huge. sets up a beautiful birdie putt. don't even have to think about it. just send it. damn, apple cooler. what happened? i'll tell you one thing. if you use your driver on this one, you've lost your mind.
-
35:48
classic mid range. you definitely want to go forehand to adjust the angle, and then you want it like right there. oh, i fucked up. i fucked up with the angle of the stick. still a beautiful kick to set up a two tapper. oh, there ain't no coming back from that! that just iced it. 106. lots of, lots of bodies in the way. this is a non run up. just aim slightly above the rock.
-
36:40
rely on your natural fade, rely on sending your disc four degrees in the northeastern direction and then well we're stumped bro. interesting putt though. great, great shots, gentlemen, great shots. it's downhill but it's fairly far. i feel like, i feel like it might be the goat! sorry, what was that par? still two up on achronov, two holes to go. 81 meters uphill. i concur on the, well you know what?
-
37:26
i don't concur on the mid range. i think we go to a driver for this situation, but we don't hit it 100%. we hit it like 90, 85% and rely on the topography to take us in. that's not out of bounds. ooh, it needed even. the long putts should not be pushes. it's my bad, y'all. are we still up two on akronov? we are. all right, all we have to do is not completely fuck up this last hole when we're chilling. honestly love the way this looks already. send it over here.
-
38:17
the natural curve is gonna do you a great amount of job. should have sent it even more over there. but you know what? that's decent. now don't push on this one. putt on this one. aim low with lighter power. whatever. for par. sam r is dialing this one in. they look like a hawkeye. no pressure. this might be for like a course record or something. so they should take, excuse me, they should take their time. there is also, oh wait.
-
39:15
minus 11 on a 9 hole course? geez louise, man. considering the weather, we did alright, man. crush the longest drive. max? i think he's just... he broke and just... divine the movement of the waves. oh, thank you very much. what do you think, kate? you gonna get in on disc golf masters? i think that's a low percentage. okay, mr. hungry? one of us is gonna have to change, man. everyone's playing it! me, samir, akronov.
-
40:21
samir probably didn't join because his hands are shaking from the course record on the last one. 99 meters. easy, bro. rely on your natural spin. no run up required. i actually, i can feel the weight of the disc in my hand now. i don't know. to be honest with you, i don't like the push on this one. i'm going to say we're probably going to be working ourselves out of a hole. probably re throw this one, go back to a push, and then accept we're probably going to be working from a couple of strokes back.
-
41:28
or double bogey. okay, three strokes back already. 72 meters. this is a putt man. putts got just the slightest bit of movement. you know what actually is not a putt? oh, what have i done? it's not a putt because i want the natural fade and i just want to not put 100% power on it. that's pretty much the way i drew it up except when i drew it up i had big muscles and the frisbee went right into the chains right off the bat.
-
42:17
it's alright, it happens, it happens. just play your game. 181 meters. we can make some plays on 181 meters. it's gonna need a run up. it's gonna need to go like right here. not into the branches right off the bat. no, no, no, no, no. okay, okay. hold. 121. i wanna pull this back. oh, you know what? 120. oh, i shot it! oh yes, i shot it. okay, we're pushing. rely on the wind to carry you past the tree, bro. there's only so much a man could do.
-
43:20
still three strokes back. you know what? we're lucky it's not more. let's focus on the positive. this is a putt. it's a putt right there. closer than you are. fucking akronov banged it off the chain box, bro. he's feeling himself. still three strokes back. 77 meters. hmm. i'm thinking it's right here, but not full power. didn't get as much bank as i was expecting. and now i gotta deal with the fucking tree, man.
-
44:29
oh you gotta admit though that would have been freaking sick. that you know honestly we need that. we need to learn how to use the angles to our advantage and then we'll have a greater variety of shots. okay four strokes back four holes to go it's time to lock in. 67 first off 6 7 in chat. 67 meters light wind literally a classic hole in one type situation. aim a little up dunk it straight on. i'm gonna be honest i had a couple of games planned for this morning
-
45:30
i think we might be rolling disc golf until we get to mecca at noon. cuz like i now that i feel i feel the zen i don't even know the meditative state of disc golf has taken over me. especially with no arc like i actually feel like i'm playing golf man. i didn't think about the natural fade. i bad accurate enough almost took your maybe a new haircut there. now if i could just get one of these dunks it would feel so good. it would feel so good.
-
46:17
this could be the new tumble seed. you're absolutely right. love the natural fade on this. little confused about which tree is which here. to be safe, we aim right there. and you know what? let's put a little something something on it, bud. i don't know which way turns which way though. i think this is right. oh, you can see it on the disc, bro. honestly, not that bad. a little aggressive with the curve, but not that bad. let me get a straddle on this one. how about a straddle to the right?
-
47:06
actually huge and a perfect dunk opportunity. oh! akronov, you played a great game. oh wait, we're not done yet. but still, i mean in all likelihood you got me. you got me cooked. what have i done? umm... 59 meters. with some natural fade right here. but not even like 92% is good enough, man. over the log. oh, a little, a skittering shot. that's not a, that doesn't count.
-
47:55
your graphics settings are only on medium. if you up it, it might get a little bit easier. wait, i'm on medium? final score plus one. a little embarrassed on that one. good job, akronov. that was extremely well played. 0% were inside c2. you need a controlled mid range over power. that's my bad, y'all. get me out of this so i can change my settings, please. how are we? where are we ranked here? 458th. all right, we're a little bit further than ninth. i'm sorry to say. i really thought we had a chance in at getting into the top 10.
-
48:40
i think i can get top, your rating is 458. okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait one second. i'm also gonna, while we're here, i've changed my settings to high and i'm gonna go to my reward track. i mean, i desperately need, well actually i don't think i need a distance driver to be honest with you. you know what would be nice though? how about something like the prince has a crazy fade, bro. i was thinking what about,
-
49:20
something like that. and then let's just, oh could not claim due to insufficient currency, my bad. i'm thinking about getting some discs with a little bit more fade because then we can use them to get around trees. i couldn't claim the enzo t shirt. sorry guys. okay. so fade is here. i see it. let's add. i didn't buy anything with good fade. i bought things with better glide, whatever that means. but now my bag is positively filled.
-
50:05
you have nine slots equip all? i do have nine slots equip all. you're not wrong. okay, quick match me. where are we? i'm eight? dude, eight rank! let's go! okay, i mean if i could at least get into the top 100 then we'd be talking. it says nine then equips eight. hey, the ni xiu, i only have eight discs unlocked bro. i just started playing disc golf today, okay? yo, play lib! wo yai han gao shing ren shi ning? wo yao mai shui guo. ni mai?
-
50:51
okay, let's go. 118 meters. sounds crazy. give me a run up mid range on this. crazy. no, no, no. cancel the mid range. cancel the run up. stick with the mid range. embrace the natural fade. aim right there. trust the process, buddy. okay, best drive. and you guys are right. the graphic settings made a huge difference.
-
51:47
199 and there's a river in the way. eep! i want something with... you know what? actually, i think i'm gonna steal their whole fucking flow. aim here, curve it left and be safe. whatever you do, just don't get it in the river. if you could just put yourself in a position to get a second throw that's not too bad here, i'd be stoked. ideally not behind the tree. i mean, this is literally fine.
-
52:43
just got to put a little bit of sauce on it. not even that bad, to be honest with you. could have gone way worse. too flat, that's my bad, y'all. it's going to put me in a tough spot for this par putt. not the branches! not the pine needles right in front of me! whatever, we're chilling. still even. 155 meters straight ahead. i'll tell you, i want it to fade in the other direction. so i want it over here.
-
53:45
fairway sounds good. this is a run up type situation as well. pretty much the way we drew it up. a little late. had a little bit more bite in it than i expected, but that's okay. 54 meters through the forest. you get an 87% shot straight ahead here. literally, actually like they're gonna say i'm hacking the game. that was crazy. huge birdie. tilted away from fade bias and it might go straighter. wait, wait, are you a genius?
-
54:38
actually kind of like a mid range with a run up here. so away from the like like that wish me luck y'all. i think we had the right principle we just probably shouldn't have tried to do it like through the middle of the the two trees there, but that's okay i gotta learn it. the putter is not just a putter that puts it in the chains. the putter is also what you use to approach so aiming to miss with the putter on a long putt might be the play and
-
55:37
but like missing a way that gives you a good two tapper. wait, i'm in third place. i'm in third place ahead of someone who's ahead of me for some reason. okay, this is a good natural fade. i think mid range is a okay here. oops. we need to switch to the forehand. cut it right through the fucking bonds eyes bro. actually a beautiful approach but i should have gone driver but not as much power and then aim to miss.
-
56:35
oh, 105 meters slightly downhill. i'm thinking give me the light fadler something like this 85% power no run. oh my god. i didn't go through the gates, bro. that's all right. i do bro. i don't have to go through the gates because i haven't i haven't made it that far yet spoilers. i really thought 71% was just going to leave it like right on top of the hole motherfucker. i need an acronym back man.
-
57:46
it's literally harder than throwing a frisbee irl and i'm not being facetious in the slightest. throwing a frisbee irl is like, i mean i've been doing it since i was a little kid, it's automatic. you're supposed to curve the other way. oh, i just have faith? 66 meters. very unlikely needle thread on this one. i think you want to go forehand and honestly, lay it on a little light. maybe 70% power gets you close enough. i thought we'd be moving a little bit more to be honest with you. this is so makeable though.
-
58:53
oh! actually huge. you're always golfing against yourself. you're not always golfing against other people. you're golfing against yourself. 97 meters. 97 meters. i love a mid range with a run. doesn't get any cleaner than that, bro. nice bounce off the rock. literally could not have drawn it up any better.
