She was one of the only people to par holes 5, 6 & 7 over all three days. It is the "Amen Corner" of PoCaWoCha, an incredibly difficult feat with just a Polecat. Her consistency is amazing, and she knows how to play golf - by that I mean, not over do it on the holes she can't reach, and always put herself in position to get par.
Great stuff Derek, don’t mind no commentary either. The bag checks & b-roll at the beginning were great touches
Philo is so fed up with this by hole 5 lol
Made it to the bag checks and upvoted, already know this is gonna be good.

"THERE IS FOOD!?" - Big Jerm 🤣
GoldenGatePark 😍Played there 14 years ago the "Safari Open" 2009. Love it!
It's like Philo wouldn't give up on the disc... he kept thinking there was something he could do to prevent it from turning over when thrown with power.
Harper: "We're passing tournament central if you want water or food." JK3: "There's FOOD?" Not judging, That's a big machine and needs fuel, just trying to help make JK3 stick.
we need a legit mixed pro tournament of this. with payout and everything

I was standing right behind him on that throw, it was even more wild in person. He is a true treasure, such a generous spirit. You could see that as soon as he realized he was out of the running to win, he started having a ton of fun. That near-kick-in on #12 is one of the best trick shots I've ever seen (make or miss).

The only answer I have to this is "yes". Very cool stuff. I had the chance to throw a Halo Polecat for the first time during the first day of the Whistler's Bend Doubles. Throwing it around with team Captain Jon Youngbar and his partner.
This is really cool! Glad you guys covered it.
I love that JK-2 is showing the boys how to toss. Get it girl!
When the background conversations are better than the "tournament" itself. xD "These things suck, man." "It's not really much of a pyramid..." "I hope he makes this putt right here." XD Jerms goofing it up. Philo is literally OVER it by like hole 4. Juliana still has a bigger pair than anyone on that course. And we got MA3 jesus having a miniature stroke before every throw because this is the most important moment of his entire life. xD This is literally the best content for all the reasons the people who put this on did NOT hope for. xD
I'm all honesty, the halo polecat is my new favorite disc. Straight, Hyzer, anhyzer, it's perfect for inside 250
Man, Ron Jeremy is looking fantastic these days... really taking care of himself.

The polecat is the perfect disc that proves that you can't make a disc do what it's not supposed to do.
That bag check 🤣
Look like a fun event, got the crowd of spectators out.
Jerm and Philo seemed like they were learning their polecat as they played, so to compete with the other polecat experts is impressive enough.
Worth the wait!!!
Philo’s sweatshirt is dope
Polecat 450 is what I’m screaming on every tee shot now.
Amazing!
Love watching JK play! Great coverage.
makes me wanna break out my R-Pro Polecat, got 2 back in the day, 170 hot pink & 160 yellow with hint of red starburst, its a little light but looks soooo perty. Then a Sonic took that slot, then Nova, now its just one of many slots I eliminated due to age. I wish I could be there :)
Harper sounds like he's shooting a potato cannon when he throws. It's Drew Gibson-esque, but somehow louder.
Polecats all seem to have the same moulding, though, I know of Post Production Profiling. The weight and plastic plays a part in the stability.
I take it that philo won't be choosing the polecat for his tour disc
Philo repping Oak Grove w his sweatshirt!
If this was the fourth annual, were people throwing GStar and champ before the halo star came out or was it pretty much dx only?
Love this
LOL the bag check
Robbie C needs an invite next year
Ah lav eet! (not from around here. Frenchie, maybe)
Hole 7 wow
YES
The bag checks 🤣🤣🤣
Dx beast was my first but I love dx thunderbirds now. Flys like my neutron relay but 25 feet further with a little less turn but alot more grip. 370ft 172grams
Most of the pros probably could have done stand still drives instead of using run ups.
Dang, how many polecats Philo bringing?
I'm a bit disappointed in the coverage that there's no graphic that shows what disc they throw...
So hyped to see some bombs
Why is Robbie C not commentating this?

"Haha yeah, I've shot better than Jeremy Koling on the front 9 of GGP" What I'm not telling them: this is my home course I've played dozens of times, I was using a full bag of 20 discs, he was using a garbo meme putter and still outdrives me.
i mean its no birdie, but ok.
Philo just could no figure it out, surprising. I think I could have beat him

Im new to watching and learning about this. Is this an event where women compete against men? That would be surprising. It would seem the men have a distance advantage. Not sure how this works and how the video description makes sense. Interesting content. Thanks.

About the Polecat Championships or about disc golf in general? 1.) In disc golf sanctioned tournaments, "MPO" is "Mixed Professional Open" (not "men" or "male" like some think). Anybody can compete in MPO. Separately, there is the FPO which is female only, and most of the touring pro women compete in the FPO, though they could compete in the MPO if they wished. 2.) Distance does not always translate to better scores. Depending on the course, distance can give you an inherant advantage, but on others, accuracy, shot shaping, and angle control easily wins out. This is a meme tournament, though... The polecat is a bit of a meme disc. These players are not looking to gain an advantage by throwing a polecat far

It is cool that disc golf has been having men and women sharing events and schedules.
