Simon Lizotte Wants This For Disc Golf
Simon Lizotte's disc golf design is generating controversy among fans and critics alike. Jefferson, a disc golf enthusiast, delves into what makes this course stand out, particularly Simon's decision to incorporate "forced rollers" into the layout. Unlike traditional courses with long holes designed solely for distance, Simon's design challenges players to showcase their skills in navigating obstacles and obstacles. This approach is likely to elicit strong reactions from fans, but Jefferson believes it's a refreshing change of pace that will spark lively discussions. The course also features innovative elements, such as the unique double-mando setup on hole 18, where players must navigate around a tree twice to reach the same hole from different angles.

Not a fan. I really I really don't. I think that the course design makes it look that way because imagine like the world's biggest rubber duck on 18's pond. What's up, degenerates? I'm Jefferson here to discuss Simon Laza, rubber ducks, and more on the first episode of a new weekly series. There is so much content out there nowadays that it's nearly impossible to watch it all. That's why every Saturday, we're going to break down the most important things you may have missed from the week. I highly recommend checking out and following everybody we talk about. There's a reason we watch them in the first place. Also, if there's any other podcast or shows we miss that you enjoy, let us know in the comments. Oh, and don't forget to subscribe to stay up to date on all things disc golf. Well, I designed it. So, it's kind of a forced roller, which I like. I like because there's so few holes where you step up to and are is like that's a roller. Like it's basically no holes on tour. This is just one of the many reasons I love Simon's ideas because he does the things people won't or honestly don't even think about. Instead of feeding into the roller hating crowd, he leans into saying it's a skill that disc golfers should have, so why not test it out? Some will hate it, some will love it, which in my opinion is the best part because it'll be talked about and that's the goal at the end of the day. Personally, I like that so much more than some 1200 ft hole that is long just to be long even though it's just a couple of hisers. But even when there's a wide open non-challenging hole, Simon has unique ideas. And I wanted that tree to be a double mando more or less. So I wanted to be two rounds. So you have to go one side of it and then the one round you have to go to the other side of it. So it'll be the same exact hole, but you have to play it two different ways. Is it happening? Are they going to do it like that? No, no, no. It would be a nightmare to get that approved. Too bad the PDGA would never sign off for something...
