GBO 2017 | Final Round, Front 9 | Sexton, McBeth, McCray, Newhouse
Join Joe M Productions for coverage of the 2017 Glass Blow Open at Jones East Park, a challenging and fun course that combines well-designed holes with obstacles like sidewalks and roadways. The crew discusses their favorite aspect of the course - Ho-One, a forehand-friendly hole with a unique obstacle: a low ceiling that can trap backhand turns. They also analyze the strategies employed by players like Paul McBeth, Johnny McCrae, Sexton, and Newhouse as they navigate this tricky hole. Joe shares his thoughts on the importance of having a reliable 350-degree sidearm shot to tackle challenging holes like Ho-One. With its unique layout and demanding shots, Jones East Park is one of the most exciting courses in professional disc golf, and Joe's commentary provides valuable insights for both beginners and experienced players looking to improve their game.
