Figured I'd make this for any fans of huckin' frizz, frolf, discing, or just a nice relaxing round of whack fuck. Post away about your latest finds, aces, and PDGA hot gossip!

MPO and FPO. Calvin and Kristin seem like the easy picks. I'm going to throw out Missy Gannon and Simon Lizotte. Missy has been solid this year and I don't know if Tattar is 100% healthy. Simon seems to be peaking at the right time.

Are we doing dark horses? I could see Kevin Jones top 5 and in the mix to win. KJ plays great on these courses

Absolutely. I like that pick. KJUSA all day!

Tattar is unstoppable until proven otherwise. She looked a bit beatable for a round at EO but it didn't matter because she's so good she gave herself a 15 shot cushion. Insane level of play from her and if she stays healthy, she is a lock for Worlds

Jomez just showed how overrated Calvin really is /s Kristin should have it

Simon is one of my favorites but I have to go with one of my other favs Eagle, as long as he doesn't throw past half the baskets by 100 feet from the tee he has a good chance IMO

I'd take Tattar over the field for FPO. I just hope it's close going into the final round.

For MPO, there are a dozen or so players with a chance. I like Isaac Robinson's odds. On the flip side, Calvin is obviously the favorite and even injured it's still Paul McBeth at worlds.

I know picking Kristin is almost too obvious, but man, she is just on another level right now. She had a really bad final round in the European Championship recently. As long as she's able to move past that mentally, it's hard to pick against her.

I like the Simon pick! Five days is a long time, and he even said he hasn't won many four day tournaments, much less five. But if he plays smart and his putt is dialed in, I could easily see him taking it down.

The MPO field is wide open this year, I love it. Feels like so many different people have a legitimate shot.

You got Calvin who is on fire this year. The rise of Gannon Buhr and his unstoppable putt. Issac Robinson and his silky smooth form. A healthy looking Ricky who is hitting his stride. Simon who has a ton of wins this year and finally appears 100% confident in his new bag. Then finally you have Mcbeth who hasnt finished outside of the top 2 at world's in 10 years.

If I had to choose someone to win though I'm gonna go with Ricky. He's had a disappointing year and I think he's gonna be hungry.
