Derrick and Chris from Gatekeeper Media are back in Las Vegas to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the LVC, one of Inova's flagship events of the year. The duo thanks their Patreon supporters before diving into the sixth annual event, which has seen the course change its status multiple times, including PDJ NT and Disc Golf Pro Tour. This year, they'll be playing on the Millennium course, a 390-foot par-3 with a challenging shot over short grass. Defending champion Calvin Heimburg from Safety Harbor, Florida, will face stiff competition after his recent disc golf Pro Tour win. Nate Sexton, the 2020 winner, is also competing, and the event features a tradition where the previous year's winners take the lead card. Derrick and Chris share their insights on the course, discussing techniques for navigating the challenging shot and potential strategies for success in this highly anticipated event.
