We got a rangefinder. We have 10 drivers. Here is the mile challenge. Okay, so the mile challenge. This is an older challenge, but I decided to bring it back. The goal is to throw a mile with however many shots it takes. So, my goal is actually going to be nine, which is about this average. It's like 580 something you'll see here. And 10 shots would obviously be like 528 feet per shot or something like that. So, the goal is going to be nine shots. We have a decent field here. We have maybe two or three feet downhill and I think we have a tailwind. Not not much to speak of though. It's pretty calm out. But I got 10 DD3s. So, we're going to try it out. Let's see how I do. Most important step. Warm up. All right, we're good. All right. Where Ben's wife is about 575, I believe. So, the goal is to get there every shot. That's what it's going to have to take. Hopefully, I get a couple over 600 and uh that'll give me a buffer. But, let's get right to it. And guys, just proof I have a wife. I know you guys didn't think she existed. There she is throwing the DD3 C line. The wind's actually not good anymore. It's a tailwind with like a right to left, so it's not not going to want to glide right, but we'll try. First shot. Oh. All right, that was okay. I'm I'm going to range it right now. All right, we got 588. So, that's pretty good. It did get a decent skip off the path. We're going to count that. Uh but hopefully I can beat the record by enough for that skip. Doesn't matter. I need to turn it a little bit more. The tailwind was definitely present. Oh, that's got potential. That one's bombed. That is over 600. That was crushed. That was over 600 feet. So hopefully we'll see. I actually think Well, I don't think it mattered. I think it hit the school wall, which So it just stopped right where it hit. So it's fine. I lied. 595. Pretty good. I don't know how much further I can throw cuz the school's there, but that's enough. Shot three. Same disc. Would have never guessed. That's right next to the first one....
