Can Calvin Avoid Another Disaster in Iowa? | Des Moines Challenge Preview
Nico Sorel and Trevor Hunter preview the Des Moines Challenge at Picard Park in Iowa, a unique event that promises excitement for fans of disc golf. The course has undergone changes, including shifts in basket placements and tee box layouts, which could impact scores. Nico discusses specific adjustments to holes 2, 9, 10, 15, and 17, where the MPO layout's silver course is now played on the right side, while the FPO layout's gold course moves to the left. Trevor shares his insights on how these changes might affect their predictions and scores, particularly on hole 17, which was already a challenging shot last year. Nico highlights the interesting aspects of Des Moines Challenge, where both MPO and FPO fields will compete with distinct layouts, making for an unpredictable competition.
