2023 LWS Open At Idlewild | FPO R1B9 | Handley, Velediaz, Scoggins, Allen | JomezPro Disc Golf
Erica Stinchcomb and Madison Walker take on the 13th stop of the Disc Golf Elite Series Pro Tour at the LWS Open at Idlewild presented by Dynamic Disc and The Natty. This challenging course is notorious for its tough wooded hilly terrain and unpredictable holes that can be birdied or tripled. After struggling with their front nine, the duo faces off against Valerie Manujano leading the way at five under par. They discuss the unique characteristics of the course, including the infamous hole 18 - a daunting uphill par three that no one has ever reached. The pair also touch on the impact of recent changes to the course, which have made some holes easier but not necessarily more birdieable. With expert insights and behind-the-scenes moments, this video provides an in-depth look at the LWS Open's unique challenges and the strategies employed by top players like Holland and Gannon.
