I'm the disc golf guy and this is my video blog. We're out here at the World Championships. I'm joined by one of the top professionals, Mattie Orum, PDGA18330. How you doing today, Matty? Doing good. How about you? You do go by Maddie, right? Yeah. All right. Mattie. Mattyo. Any other nicknames we should know about? Anything about Matthew? Because only my mama calls me Matthew. That's when I know I'm in trouble, too. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. As usual. Does the middle name get thrown in there, too? Oh, yeah. Southern style, too. You know what I mean? I suppose. So, you're out here at Lemon Lake. How long have you been here? I've been here since last Wednesday.

So, they're going to be punishing out here. We're out here. Uh, we got one of the holes in the background here, and this hole is actually strung with some OB and some painted flags. Did you find anything other than at the gold course with these painted flags or any any OB, anything that jumped out at you as as noteworthy? I mean, you shouldn't be outside the lines anyway out here, right? Yeah, that's the way I feel. I feel like if you throw OB, you shouldn't really been there.
