all right first question do you think two courses four rounds is better for your stops i don't fully understand that question but i think it is just referencing is it better to play two courses on tour um yes and no we usually have monday is usually a travel day it depends on if it's a three day or a four day tournament if you if it's a four day and they typically start thursday and sunday then you get there monday and you usually practice tuesday wednesday thursday well thursday the turn starting four days so that's only two days of practice on a tournament that has two courses so you only get one day on each course and that's if the weather's permitting so if it's one course that's okay because you know sometimes you can squeeze in monday but typically you just have tuesday wednesday to practice so one course is preferable i know as far as a viewing standpoint it's hard to watch if they're playing the same course all four days but as a player it is more beneficial if you're on tour to play one course practice one course because then you can kind of see the ins and outs but uh if you have a little bit more practice time then i don't think i think two courses is fun and fair kansas is known for being windy um how does that affect your plan for a practice round on a course versus a calm no wind day like if both of your practice rounds are windy and then the tournament day is not how does that affect you if i had it my way i would have every practice round be calm and then tournament days you have to deal with the wind because you kind of have a sense of what your overstable discs are um and you kind of it's easier to predict an overstable disc because that's kind of why you throw an overstable discs so it just gets the ground quicker and is going to fight any wind or a majority of the wind and just hides around every time so um that way you can kind of work more on the form itself if it was uh calm i think that's more important than shaping the shots uh in a practice round getting your form down...
