Hello everyone and welcome back to the 2025 Played Against Sports Jonesboro Open presented by Westside Disc. We're on the back half of our disc side of heaven. Our 27 hole layout. Got an incredible feature card. Seen some struggles, but I think we also have the wind to blame for quite a few of those challenges that we've been seeing. I'm again joined by Parker Welk, who's on our feature card. And Parker, you've been fighting back since the first hole. We've seen Ben Callaway gain a little bit of momentum and and Yakub and Silver are kind of in between the two of you. Uh what are we going to do when we head over here to B14? Ah B14 one of the better holes I think on this middle section of the course. It's a it's a doozy. You can throw a backhand like barely super touchy flip up shot or you'll see a lot of sidearms and just uh kind of hope hoping to get to like circle's edge really. But I think it's one of the the better designed holes on this back or this middle section. Yeah. 380 and and maybe effectively plays 350 360 or is it not that much of a decline? Um it's a slight decline. It really isn't too much. I'm probably throwing it like it's 340. So just barely less. Yakub pushes off to the left side. You got to love the forehand play here coming in low short just like maybe we're going to see from Ben with a couple of skips. And that's exactly what you're really looking for. Something that like lands way to the left of the basket because if you catch that down slope uh with that forehand angle, you're gone. You're so far right. So, great shot by Ben. Silver hates it, but turns around before it gets to trickle right back towards the pin. And what disc is this for you? This is a Tai Love getaway. One of the best fairways I think I've ever thrown. He gave it to me and said, "Hey man, try this disc." He should have said, "Hey man, this is the best disc ever. Here you go." So, I was actually calling for that one to go in, but a little long. Yeah, Coupe forced to lay up. Yakub comes in with a 1025 rating...
