welcome to round one of the glass blown open this is the back nine at Country Club in Emporia Kansas I'm Tina Oakley and I'm Zach mountain thanks for joining us we got gate keeper media covering the chase card of the women and are one of our favorite places Emporia and I think after the front nine we had Rebekah at minus one leading a card playing super clean and cassia Katz right behind Rousso Vanessa about the plus one and so he had plus four and they're all throwing some really good shots it a pretty calm day this day it's a little wet in the grass but not much weather-wise to deal with so perfect perfect day for disc golf yeah like halfway through the round the grass started drying out a little bit Sun Sun didn't really want to come out it's kind of overcast I run the 10th hole of Country Club layout this hole is blind completely blind there's OB on the right and left and takes the smash to get it down there but it's certainly get a bowl for the women yeah it's definitely downhill but you still have to rip it to kind of get on the right angle to hold like that and I believe that purple disc I called it a d3 I believe it's an x3 and there weren't many of those purple ones and she's been throwing that for a long time it doesn't feel like next one anymore that was a really good shot I'd say the most common play on this to get the distance is that flex on the middle and you're kind of messing with the right side for a little while but as long as you don't hit anything you should be okay and that's out of bounds she found that golf fairway which is out of bounds and this is like I'm just gonna lay up you're right though I think the shot to get down there you basically have to pull a disc over on Anheuser and kind of throw it towards the OB and trust that it's gonna gonna fight out of it at the right moment yeah hopefully that sits down it's got a little Heiser yeah that left sighs really easy to get to with that downhill slope like that if you don't get over on it...
