Being the "bad guy".

With the Disc Golf Pro Tour Championship this week, I will be once again stating that the payout will be unfair in replies about the event.

Once again me stating that the FPO getting the same top prizes and the MPO is wrong will cause people to call me out.

I will use the example of #18 at the final round at this year's Pro Worlds to show the extreme difference in similar shots under similar situations made by the 5x MPO and FPO world champions and it won't matter.

I will explain that just like in 2019 where I did not want to see the #1 FPO player play a course designed for the top MPO players and her status compared to top MPO players was similar to my status compared to the top MA50 players at the am Worlds earlier that year.

I will also explain that comparing a player half my age to me would be unfair but comparing a nine time FPO major champion who is over 50 would be and that the last time both her and I played the same course at the same time in the same event we shot the same score.

Bring it on.

Seeing the light

Many who have worked with me have seen me catch the light wrong and have problems seeing for about 15-20 minutes followed by a migraine. I have realized not turning on a light while loading or unloading a truck and wearing a hat at work helps prevent that from happening. I also realized my incidents happened when tired and being unable to get enough sleep.

Since I start at noon at my new job, have not had one this year until today:

With transition lenses, playing disc golf has never been an issue. I would wake up early anyway so I would rarely be tired on the course. However, have not slept well this week. 

On my 16th of an 18 round, was in the one wooded hole on a course on a day when it ranged from dark clouds to sunny. With my glasses clear was walking to the basket when catching the sun wrong and there was a bright light in my field of vision to finish the round. Somehow was still able to make putts and got an MA55+ birdie 3 on the flat 525 hole to end my round.

It went away before I left but it was followed by a bad migraine. I stopped for food and drank a lot of water and Coke Zero. I barely got home before my body emptied from both ends.

Tried delivering a few hours later but realized was not up for it.
