here with your dynamic disc open champion just a couple weeks ago paul macbeth fresh off of a practice round so let's let's cut right to the chase man what did you read out there how's the course playing what do you think it's hot um definitely hot out there and but luckily we got a lot of big trees so a lot of shade uh it was a little i feel like the wind was a little different today it wasn't carrying the disc like it had been the previous practice days um so it could just be that i already got a couple rounds in and a little tight but i think it's yeah i think it's a little different out there today so it was good to get that in and just so many rollers i feel like so many rollers off the tee it's it's a long course but they utilize the big trees they have here really well yeah and obviously a very long course in the tough course like glen eagles the the course that this tournament is replacing on the pro tour um you know hard to make too many comparisons to it would you agree with that or what do you find similar and different it's a lot flatter here um terrain is not as up and down and i i hear it's going to be really windy but yesterday it said it was 14 to 15 mile per hour winds but it did not feel like it so i'm really curious to see what what windy is out here compared to glendale glen eagles um probably nowhere close uh and and i mean coming off the ddo probably nothing close to that either so uh i think i think it'll be fun and and they they try to utilize the the hillsides they have here with the baskets on them but um haven't seen too many crazy rollaways or anything like that yet so hopefully it continues that way into the tournament yeah you mentioned the ddo i mean there's kind of two ways to look at it one school of thought is hey paul macbeth didn't get his first win until april may in the year the other way you know to look at it is once again paired up with the best players in the world in the final...
