2023 Preserve Championship Practice Round | Brodie Smith & Ezra Aderhold | F9
The 2023 Preserve Championship Practice Round features professional disc golfers Brodie Smith and Ezra Aderhold at the Black Bear Course in Minnesota. The duo discusses their previous event, the Des Moines Challenge, where they experienced tough weather conditions that limited their playtime to just two rounds. Despite this, Brodie achieved his first top 10 finish at an Elite event, moving him into the top 32 for the Tour Championship. Ezra shares his excitement about reaching the top 15, a significant milestone for him. The practice round focuses on the Black Bear Course's new additions and changes, including the challenges of playing in rainy conditions with dry grass areas that can lead to large skips. Brodie and Ezra analyze hole one, a 708-foot Par Four, and discuss strategies for navigating the water hazard on the left side of the fairway.
