what's up everyone gur here proud Ian and your current 2024 disc golf protour points leader we're here at picker Park in Indianola Iowa for the de moin Challenge and today we're going to check out some of the new changes on hole 17 and hole 18 well we had some feedback last year that the finishing stretch was a little I guess soft I know holy te was pretty pretty easy not a lot of score separation and so the goal is to make the last two holes be tricky and always stressful toward the end around um so for whole 17 here originally we were just going to go on the short side of the creek and then I looked over and I saw this big tree right next to me here and I was like we got to have a teapad over there and we got it put in uh the teapad is originally going to be about 20 ft right of me right now and then that Gap ended up not working and so you know the hand I kind of played was a little bit where the te goes but then definitely like kind of carving out the Gap so here we have two different lines the left Line's a little bit tighter but we wanted you know lefties to have a chance or forand players and then the right side here is going to be the most preferred line definitely a right-handed backhand Heiser um but you still have to push pretty far before the OB long and then obviously second shot into the greens super tough the green the shape of Iowa which is pretty unique so you got to aim right for De Moine put it right there you'll have about a 15f footer to get your birdie we're going to see a lot of sixes and sevens this week on this hole um I think we'll probably we might even see a nine depending on you know if you hit early you got to pitch the mouth then pitch up to the top and then you go miss that miss the Drop Zone miss the second Drop Zone I mean it can it can unravel really quick yeah I'm excited to see how it scores this week so what part of the state is that basket uh that's a I mean...
