With five rounds of action, and next-day video coverage of three cards, we had a bit of a time narrowing down our favorite shots from the 2018 PDGA Professional Disc Golf Championship at Smugglers’ Notch Resort. Jomez Productions and Central Coast Disc Golf were on site all week cranking out top quality content for us to sift through, so all props to them.
Instead of being judicious in our picks, we just went for it. Below are some of the better shots captured on camera, broken down by round, and in order of holes, because we wouldn’t dare rank them. At least not in this format.
Before moving on to the round coverage, special shoutout to Jomez for the Paige Pierce intro graphic on the women’s coverage.
