my friend and i will be going down to USDGC and doing taping for Disc Golf Live.
we will be taping lots of golf, tryin to get all the best shots on camera.
also, we will be doing some interveiws. we have an idea of the people we would like to interveiw, but with me being such an organization freak, i am tryin to come up with an outline of questions. for the most part we know what we would like to ask who we know we are interveiwing, but i would like to get some thoughts from others. its different when you know them, versus if you dont know them.
we are tryin to have fun with this and make it fun for veiwers.

i am just lookin for some more ideas.......
so if you could ask your favorite pro anything.... who and what would it be??

What's your favorite sport? :p

J/K

You could ask basic trivia questions like Jay Leno does on the streets of L.A.?

i still want it to be all about disc golf, but i want it to be more fun then the basic....
what do you throw, how do you throw, blah, blah blah. those questions will still be in there, but i dont want to bore people to death.
for example, we are going to interveiw a swede or two. for the long 12 hour drive down there, we will be listening to swede language tapes. dont know if we will beable to utilize it atall, but itll get a laugh.

ex.
brian schweberger: "what is your obsession with mullets?"

Here is a serious one.


What was your worst round played as a top pro? And how did it affect your standings in the tournament, and which round was it in?

I always was curious about some of the Top Pros like Climo or Schultz and what a typical day in their Life during the weekdays is
like ?? Do they get up early in the morning and go straight to the "office" (disc Golf Course) and play and practice all day ??
Or since they have been playing so long they don't need to do this . Maybe just a couple of hours a day in practicing ??

Also, maybe you could ask them about sleeping and whether they dream about Disc Golf and dream about playing other fellow Pros ??


Yeah, maybe a reality video of a touring pro would be boring !!

Kenny and Barry are not celebrities. They are just a couple of guys that can throw a disc good. Just regular people. A reality show where we watch Kenny go to WalMart would be pretty boring. Plus, I think they practice way less than you think. I heard that Barry worked on his game a lot a few years ago to get the World Champ title but not sure if he still does that.

If we are going for "A day in the life of...." do it on Stokely. He makes porn!!! :D

who needs to practice when they are that good?

you should ask mitch to rattle off his nicknames

so is it mitch, mittenz, iamruffage, mullet,

how many alias' does one need?

My favorite pro is me.

I know everything there is to know about me.

Thread over.

well its a good thing you are the very top of the list of people to interveiw.... well above kenny and barry.....

so is it mitch, mittenz, iamruffage, mullet,

how many alias' does one need?


Jen, you haven't even begun to crack the ice here yet... he's got at least 1000 more.

My personal favorite is "Cheat Ho" :D

haha... i forgot about that one...

unfortunately Disc Golf Live will not be doing a documentary on mitch , (atleast not at this point), so this might take up too much time.
we only have 60 minutes to work with here....

I might ask Ken and Barry who are some of the young players they think may have the brightest disc golf futures and why?


I'd also ask if they would be willing to do a Climo vs. Schultz event at Idlewild with cameras filming the whole thing :D

Ask them how the heightened attention, cameras, interviews etc. effect their play at major tournaments.

Ask them how they feel about rules violations and what their response is when they see it.

Get a series of interviews with pros who push putt and who lift putt to see why they use the putt they use and why they think their style is more effective.

Maybe you should ask them about their finances. I mean, doesn't everyone want to know what their sponsors pay them? (ex. per disc, entry fee's, expenses) Do they work part time? Who is their least favorite person to play with in a tourney?

Other than USDGC and Worlds, ask them what their favorite tournament is. Or ask them what their favorite trophy is. Or favorite state to play in. Or, as i asked Dave before, what their top 5 favorite holes are. Or top 3.

Hey all you seasoned PRO's:

I'm a upper-middle AM1 in Michigan and have been running into a problem,
I have hot rounds in the morning, but have difficulty keeping the momentum going for the afternoon round. I've tried getting right to the course, scarfing down lunch and hitting the course to keep in the flow, but I still don't perform to my standards.

What are some techniques that you suggest that will keep me from tailing off in the afternoon both physically and mentally?

Eat a lighter lunch, and take a snack with you during the round. Helps alot of people. Dont play to much b4 the 2nd round starts, just enough to get you loose and ready to start the next round.

what about playing really bad in the morning? Out of 15 tournaments this year I've had maybe 3 good 1st rounds. Any advice Schweb?

I normally play about 5 holes and putt for a bitbefore my 1st round. And I've done everything from eating a full breakfast to just a granola bar. Doesn't seem to make a difference.

Is there anything I could do to better mentally prepare myself? I think it may be that I have trouble focusing.

try focusing on have a great time. enjoy the company of the people you are playing with. its all in your head. IMO if you focus on having fun, then you'll see better scores.

I call BS I play 1 round before the morning round, one before the 2nd round, and usually one afterwards and I do better in the PM. :D

I usually do not eat b4 a morning round, it keeps me hungry to perform well during the round. I usually eat a good meal the night b4, so I can get my energy from that. Ususally my nerves will not allow me to eat in the morning anyway.

i eat a big meal and dont play many practice holes just a few shots to get loose and 15 mins of putting. when i hear the 2 minute horn i get really calm and focused

And then you birdie the 1st four holes at Snowbowl. :D:D

My major is Health and Sports Studies at the U of I, and i took a Health class last semester that said the worst thing you can for energy the following day is eat a big meal before you go to bed. I was taught the most important thing you can do for energy to get you through the day is to eat breakfast in the morning. Breakfast is very important.

But it seems your doing just fine with your method!

Then why do marathons have those carb-loading meals the night (or two nights) prior?

Most professional ENDURANCE athletes practice a very balanced diet (40-30-30) during the majority of the season. Carb-loading a day or two before is a way to have plenty of easily usable sugars in your blood for a lot of energy.
We are not endurance athletes (in most cases). We are just walking and standing around alot, not running or biking.
I have found, like Schwebby, that I play better sort of hungry. Most of my best rounds have come with a Clif bar for breakfast. The lighter I feel, the faster I am.
Nutritionally, breakfast is MOST important. But athletically most people need AT LEAST two hours of digestion before engaging in sports. That's two hours BEFORE warmup! I just don't have that time during most single day events.
However, experiment and do what works for you. I'm probably an exception.

AT the MSDGC I saw Schweb running up and down the hills playing as many holes as he could in the morning before the 1st round. I don't think he needs any more energy. I think he got all that energy from all the liquids he consumed Friday night!

That is the secret to his success!

I usually do not eat b4 a morning round, it keeps me hungry to perform well during the round. I usually eat a good meal the night b4, so I can get my energy from that. Ususally my nerves will not allow me to eat in the morning anyway.



Same for me. Big dinner. Coffee and a snack for breakfast. Coffee and a snack for lunch.

I don't know about Schwebby but if I put food in my stomach then my stomach gets in the way. lol

:D

Here's an age old question that old touring pro's might be able to answer............

So you go to the laundry mat to do a load of stinky disc golf clothes. You put an even number of socks into the washer or dryer. Why is it that an odd number of socks comes out? Where the F do they go?

Toddles, that has been the case in the past, and one of the reasons for my methodology and loss of weight. :eek: :D

The answer is you actually miscounted the socks because one was hidden amongst the other dirty clothes that you put in the wash. Then when you are done you actually have one more sock in the wash than you thought. So go find the other sock some where else besides the washing machine that you thought ate the missing sock.

I knew there was a logical explanation. Thanks Schweb!

Next question to one of my favorite people, Where's Baby_Schweb?

id like to know how many times they blaze up during a round, and does it help to be baked the entire time, or just before the round starts.

I do 0 times but yes, it helps tremendously to be baked the entire round and anyone who is baked during the round is cheating! My rating would go up 20 points if I did the same thing . . . . :D

Not a great question for the message board, but I have never smoked anything in my life.

Ok favorite pros how do you become a favorite pro. Have a lot of crackheaded nicknames, be an [I'm a potty-mouth!], or be a cheesehead? Those are what I have seen so far.

You just have to be cool!!! How about asking the pros who their favorite touring AMs are :D Or who they think the up and coming young guns are???

Ok Marc Burnett. This kid is like 8 and is "THE MANCHILD" even if he didn't win worlds /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

David Wiggins Jr., he only won his division by 99 strokes for the 2nd year in a row. How many kids under 10 actually have a rating above 800.

winning your division by 99 strokes, 2 years in a row....
i dont care if you're 10, time to be a big boy- MOVE UP

If you could win any tournament (besides majors) which would it be and why?

If you could win any tournament (besides majors) which would it be and why?

The Moccasin Lake Open..because to beat Kenny on his home course would be one of my best personal and Career accomplishments.

If you could win any tournament (besides majors) which would it be and why?



The next one I play!

Why? Because I want to get my 1st pro win in my rookie season.

If you could win any tournament (besides majors) which would it be and why?

Tx states next month because it would be my 1st pro win, it is on my home courses, and I would win like $1,500. :D:DIt will be even more in April when they start it as a NT.

You mean like inputting tournametn scores and finishing a TD report :eek:

right....that almost made sense.

If you could win any tournament (besides majors) which would it be and why?



The Minnesota Majestic, because even the guy that has taught me everything about disc golf hasn't won it. :eek:

The 06 Memorial so I could become the only person to win it back to back!!! First as an Advanced player then as an Open player. Oh and so I could be the biggest sandbagger EVER by denying 1st place cash at an NT :D

Go Timmy!!! Go Brad!!!!! :D

I have won the Majestic Bradly. Waaaaaay back in the ol days when it was a B tier, I think 1997. First B Tier win, I was pretty pumped.

KC WIDE OPEN for me. Learned alot from Crazy and Who man when I went to school down there, still kinda my home away from home. Hopefully we can play Rosedale and Swope next year and have a final 9. (bad weather).
Last two KCWO: 3rd last year, 2nd this year, next year............
Or maybe the Des Moines Challenge, cuz to win a couple grand and be so close to the Lumberyard would be....... :o

who makes porn??

You sed we could ask questions, that you might use to ask the pros in an interview. well how bout asking something like "if you could win any 2 tournments one in the united states and one out of the US what would they be?"

Eat a lighter lunch, and take a snack with you during the round. Helps alot of people. Dont play to much b4 the 2nd round starts, just enough to get you loose and ready to start the next round.




I don't really think its a refueling issue, it has to do with my above-shoulder game. Any zen-buddhist techniques to keep me mentally ready for round 2?

I've always been interested in just how elite an athlete our sport's top disc golfers are. In other words, could our top disc golfers have played at pro level in other sports. And just how good do you think Tiger Woods would be at disc golf if he had focused on that instead?

I have won money in Volleyball Tournaments. I also used to teach tennis, which I made preTTy good money at.

Keep track of your socks!



numbering them or coding does not help, I know this to be true

I've met DG'ers who have picked up DG really quick due to being good Ball golfers. They already have the mental game, which helps them due well in tournaments w/o much experience.
