hello and welcome back to our coverage from the 2019 las vegas challenge presented by in of a disc golf we have the round one back nine coverage of our day one former champions card big sexy commentary here with you again Nate Sexton and Jeremy : and we saw Paulo brat way look at that nine for nine to start the season off Paul Macbeth the new disc wrap this struggle a little bit here Eagle not playing as well as he would like to on this front nine very attackable but you see Ricky after the par-4 start put together seven straight birdies and there are some hot starts out there Calvin Heimburger Paloma and Nick Newton an obviously file of Brathwaite all off to incredible starts people came way yeah no kidding full 10-part three 381 one of the most treacherous holes on the course here as you can see there's a very large hazard sand trap in between the tee and the basket hazard if you want familiar means that you play the disc where it lies but you play with a penalty so these players are either gonna lay up short or maybe try to get aggressive skip through the sand trap or play around the right side and kind of skip up the backside this is by far the toughest handicap hole on the course averaging three point one nine which isn't that tough but of course that was relatively getting crushed by all the players I mean this one is just so hard to approach you just have that basket yeah sitting on top of the hill which would already make it difficult at 389 feet but then it's a way to throw to the green you have to go through the sand trap or you have to do with Ricky's trying here which is playing way wide and skipping around the backside that is so wide ya gonna have really kind of a sketchy upshot from there I would think and the problem is even if you do drive this perfectly and you skip around the back side of the bunker you've got 25 to 35 foot uphill putt with a out-of-bounds but behind the basket so I mean it's just I don't know I personally I think that if you're gonna have a hold its position on top of a hill...
