Alongside silver, Jakub Semerád, and Benjamin Callaway, Parker Welk is excited to tackle this unique event. The course presents difficulties due to its OB lines, making it hard to get close to the basket. Wind is a major factor, especially with headwinds pushing players to clear the center part. Parker shares his strategy of using super overstable discs and finishing way out left to navigate these obstacles. As he watches other players like Ben Callaway throw long drives, Parker's approach may involve backing off from the OB line for better angles.

Hello everyone and welcome to the 2025 played again sports Jonesboro open presented by Westside Disc. We're at the disc side of heaven in Jonesboro, Arkansas and a great feature card silver along with Yakub Seamurrod. Parker Welk is joining us and rounding out the card, Ben Callaway. And what a blessing. Not only do we have a Parker Welk on screen, but we have one in the booth. Parker, 27 holes, a really unique A tier, two rounds of 27, and you're here for it. Thanks for joining. Yeah. No, I'm super excited to be here. I cannot wait to do all 27 for this. This is going to be great. I mean, we're getting into hole one. It's 520 ft. It is such a doozy to start on just because of this OB line right here, right in the center. And the OB line to the right as well. Your discs are going to want to flip over.

Wind a major factor as we're watching Silver tea off on the first hole and just like that out of bounds like you were just saying that middle stretch of the fairway. Uh difficult enough to clear in this kind of wind. I mean any sort of headwind here is just insanely hard to get just get enough distance to get over that center part. And that is out of bounds. So I'm thinking to myself, I watched the first two guys kind of flip it over. So I went with super overstable and put it a little high and just finished way out left. All right. Yeah, it stabled up and went off to the left side. I couldn't even follow it initially, but your left side of fairway perfectly safe. And another guy with plenty of power, Ben Callaway out of Iowa. And that's perfect. That's everything. I I think that was a a nuke OS, which is crazy to throw it that far. And Yakub actually backed off of the OB line just a little bit so that he'd have a better angle at that. He's of course allowed to do so. Silver looking for his approach. Silver uh was questionable about playing this event. Uh he his knee...
