the disc golf guy and that was my video blog I'm joined by Jessica wheeze Jessica we're looking at the hottest round out there being +1 shot by yourself would you consider yourself a win player going into today I said that it probably wouldn't be on my favour because I'm not used to playing in the wind but I think having the backhand inside arm probably favors it so it was all about making the right decisions and reading the wind when it came down to it and I think that's probably the strong point well you are more versatile than most I mean you're so proficient in that backhand and the forehand and I'm kind of surprised I think I see you relying a little bit more on the back end these days is that true well last weekend you wouldn't say so I do a lot sidearm last weekend but out in the big wide open field I definitely throw more backhand it's a little bit easier on my arm and my body so if I have the option I'm probably gonna throw it back in so everybody's only thinking about your shot heard everywhere walk us through what they saw earlier in the round so earlier I was looking at was a parkour and there's a bunker right behind the basket so I was just trying to play it short and soft and I knew right out of my hand I threw it too hard but it was right on the line to the basket so I knew if it Heiser flipped straight to the basket that it had a chance but I was definitely counting on the basket to stop me I think at one point you were yelling at the basket and thankfully it got in the way cuz it just blew the basket up that had to give you a maybe a little extra warmth out on this chilly day yeah I definitely wasn't really expecting that so that was a big surprise all right well this is Jessica wheeze she played from the chase card onto the lead card for the third round we'll wish her the best of luck we'll see you on the next one
