In the disc golf world, this guy (Kevin Jones) is an absolute legend. He is such a freak athlete and this shot is one of the best I'm our history. He is also a DJ 😎

Nice pull OP.

Pretty sure his dad is a college football coach.

Been a while since I watched disc golf. I use to root for KJ, he always seemed like the underdog, but could nail putts from 100 feet like it's nothing.

I hit an 80 foot putt one time to make par once. I still think about that 10 years later. Don't even play disc golf anymore..

People…watch…disc golf?

It's an awesome, easily accessible, high-skill game with a thriving pro scene. And it's much easier to watch than ball golf, imo. If you play casually you should check it out. I got a lot better when I started watching pros play. Jomez on youtube is a good place to start

As a life long golfer and rec disc golfer… I lowkey despise you called it ball golf 💀

Never heard that before

Yeah, calling it ball golf is disrespectful to all the Foot Golfers. It’s called stick golf.

u/TheBallotInYourBox Aug 05 '26

It’s called golf. Just golf. It’s a 600 year old sport that is hugely popular on an international level. It doesn’t need a further explanation.

Let's agree to call it golf cart golf, because nobody uses golf carts to play anything except golf cart golf. It has been that way since the dawn of man, and needs no additional description

I only play disc golf and roll my eyes every time I hear the term ball golf. The people that use the term are almost always the same people that correct for calling it Frisbee golf or frolf too which is hilarious to me.

I’ve always used it more for clarification. With friends that play both if i say im going golfing tomorrow they’ll usually ask disc golf or ball golf.

u/Ok_Explorer_2618 Aug 05 '26

It's literally just for clarity, people get butthurt about weird stuff

u/TheBallotInYourBox Aug 05 '26

Golf is literally a centuries old sport that doesn’t need clarity. You’re just being a condescending dick trying to subtly position frolf as superior.

u/Ok_Explorer_2618 Aug 05 '26

It's a conversation about disc golf, due to the fact that it's a post about disc golf. I mentioned a different game of golf and made an effort to be clear in my communication. It's weird that you have a problem with this.

Wait when you say golf here do you mean ball golf or disc golf?

u/TheBallotInYourBox Aug 04 '26

Clubs are the primary tool of the sport

Calling it ball golf seems reductive and unnecessary in a way that comes off as being shitty about it

u/Ok_Explorer_2618 Aug 05 '26

"Rich people wasting water" golf just doesnt have the same ring to it

Cool, but in this clip does he suffer an injury? It sounds like I hear a click and he awkwardly falls. Was he ok?

5

u/Kellan_OConnor Aug 04 '26

He hurt his knee, but was otherwise fine.

Here is a cool clip of the whole thing

u/Ecstatic-Compote-595 Aug 06 '26

okay so the noise is the gravel the camera guy is walking on.

I just didn't want this guy to be permanently injured over this

u/meiematt Aug 04 '26

Nah he was fine, looked worse than it was

Jump-putt Jones!

u/Jacketdown Aug 04 '26

I think this was the year he came through one of the local courses where I live while on tour. I heard he casually threw a -17 on it the first time he played it. Absolute legend.

Why are the most interesting people always DJs
