my name is silver Ross I'm the CEO PCS open and I've also designed a brosdisco park we just found about disco from the internet and we had had never tried it on any other courses before so we just decided that we want to make some baskets we didn't buy anything we made ourselves and then we started throwing and we got quickly very eager so I think that is key to a good course to have a variety of shots variety of difficult holes and easy holes so must get birdies some very difficult parts it's really nice to see that you create something for yourself another that's really fun sitting in the excavator and or using the chainsaw and you don't really know what you're making until you but then you cut down one tree and you see some new lines and you get some IDs and it's a process that's that really yeah I like that well I'm looking to find that perfect green area or a perfect tea area to create different shots different lines and try to imagine how the best players in the world can throw it and after we started holding the pieces open that's been kind of a goal to take feedback from good players and develop the course and make it top-notch for for this this event on this course the win condition is really makes a big difference it can change in a minute and the course is played a lot more difficult well it has for sure developed them much since we started 10 years ago then it was just like a more like a playground for us and it's now it's it's a sports venue I don't have a real a goal of making the course as difficult as possible I want it to be fair and and to have a good score separation of course you get proud and it's really interesting to see how they what they feel about the course and of course how they play and how they score thank you
