I'm the disc golf guy and that was my video blog I've now been joined by Vanessa van Dyken the hottest round out here during their fourth and final round two words come to mind dialed focused do you have others that you could possibly describe that round I felt really confident with my driving off the tee I felt really accurate and I'm really liking the nuke and I felt like even with the slight wind no matter what like how strong it was or not when I threw that it wasn't gonna flip and it wasn't gonna fade too much it would just be perfect so I felt really confident having that disc in my bag and also even though it might not have looked like it I was really nervous for my putts especially the short putts but I just tried to ignore those weird emotions and kind of power through it anyways and it worked so there was you say confident it's another great word I think of also flawless but when I'm watching you putt it was dead center firm every single time so you definitely were suppressing any emotions of non-confidence that's for sure you've had a switch over to disc craft this year obviously you're comfortable with the disc now what can we look forward to in 2019 I'm just really looking forward to improving my game and seeing where that takes me I mean I felt like I wasn't too many strokes off the win this time so I'm excited to see like to battle it out with all the other really talented women so I was watching the scores things to you disk but I don't think you were is that correct you weren't watching the scores as they were unfolding is that clearly uh maybe a strategy of yours that you don't worry about the scores yeah I don't I mean I guess it could work for you or against you but in my opinion I feel like the scoring doesn't matter I'm just gonna play as best as I can and the outcome doesn't matter to me like this is what I do and what other people are doing isn't gonna change what I'm doing I couldn't agree more I think that's very eloquently put well we're gonna close things out here this is the FPO chase card throughout...
