hello katrina hi brian earhart with dgn here first question about jones supreme very long course 9 400 feet but you're no slouch on very long courses i actually want to refer back to music city open in 2019 when you won by 16 strokes at the infamous ravenwood course which was the longest course any of us had seen for a while what is it about how you attack long courses and specifically in this situation jones supreme that makes you successful um i guess i you know feel comfortable with a driver in my hand i was actually just talking with someone about this yesterday when i first started playing everyone was like handing me fairway drivers and meds and i'm like the big rim discs always felt comfortable in my hand and so i don't know if it's that but um yeah like i said i just feel comfortable um with the driver off the tee and so i think that leads to success when you have to do that 18 times absolutely well with that leads to another question of a discussion that's been had amongst newer players recently is what the best way is to go about gaining distance and a lot of people are now saying okay you start with the slow disc then you graduate to the next level and you graduate to the next level but i've heard from a lot of players especially professionals like yourself that say i started with a distance driver in my hand do you have an opinion like if there's a new player that says i want to get distance what do you know what the right way is to work with equipment um i mean i would probably tell people the same i do feel that timing is huge i know you know if my timing's off i'm probably not throwing as far i feel like i'm throwing my longest shots when my timing's on because it feels easier i don't feel like i'm trying to throw as far everything's just kind of working together and clicking so i would yes tell people to throw putters mids in fairways first um you know like something i did first was learn how to hyzer flip understable and let the discs do the work for me yeah so yeah well then this one's a little bit outside...
