The 2023 Discraft Great Lakes Open | R2, B9 | Gossage, Heimburg, Robinson, Dickerson | Playoffs Join Nathan Queen and Andrew Fish as they cover the 41st Edition of the Discraft Great Lakes Open, presented by Grip Six A Disc Golf Pro Tour. The back nine is highlighted for its challenging design, featuring a repetitive up-and-down theme that tests players' skills. Chris Dickerson leads the pack with five under par, while Aaron Goss trails closely behind at four under. Calvin Heimburg and Isaac Robinson aim to close the gap with their one-under start through the front nine. The Kensington Toboggan course is showcased, featuring 650-foot par fours like Hole 10, which requires precision and control from right-hand backhand players.

The video also touches on Isaac Robinson's playing style, including his preference for understable discs in challenging conditions.
