We could easily have had a cocky world number one...Last year's hate was such a joke he's been nothing but respectful and competitive

He's awkward and occasionally dorky, and he's growing up basically on camera, but he seems to be a good kid.

Awkward and dorky is what turned me onto him. Once I saw the YT video of him in a corn field acting like a chicken or whatever he was doing, I realized I can’t dislike the guy.

5'8 is generous. If you ever get a chance to stand next to Paul, you'll see.

So happy to see Paul win again and witness the gamesmenship between these two. So many clutch shots especially Gannon's skip eagle and Paul's 18 upshot.Ā Ā

Idlewild was the GOAT all along. Love this tournament stop

I was at LWS on Sunday, Gannon came out to support his teammates opening throws and would stick around to sign an excessive amount of autographs. My opinion of the kid couldn't be higher. He's humble and appreciates that he is in the position he is in.

I like this kind of insight from people that go to the tournaments. I've had similar interactions with Mcbeth and Eagle. Everyone has their grumpy days too, but it's nice to know that a lot of the stars in our sport are nice people.

u/fooloflife Denver / RHBH 10h ago

Someone needs to resize these correctly for full effect of how massive Gannon is now

u/Bradadonasaurus 9h ago

Wait, McBeth isn't shrinking?

Great tournament this weekend. Nate Perkins should always be in the booth.

u/Boom-Doc-a-Locka Sucker for a cool stamp 1h ago

I really like Perk, but he goes a little overboard sometimes. The podcast with Brian is really good most of the time, but every once in a while Perk gets super weird and says stuff like "the shot was just so beautiful I actually had to look away".

u/bearkatsteve 291605 2h ago

Was he the one with the ā€œClimate change is a hoaxā€ call in the YouTube highlights for the last round? I’m like 99% sure he meant it as a joke, but that one just didn’t land for me lol

u/jaspingrobus We are the BERG, resistance is futile 1h ago

I think Gannon is acting indredibly nice here and his behavior will help him way more than a win would have. Well played!

u/MrHospitalEngineer 32m ago

Yooo I went to school with Paul and his brother John. Long time ago they were traveling for disc golf and John made a Facebook post asking if anyone had an old phone to sell him. I told him I had an old one I could send him no charge, he says he has to give me something so what do I want? I said eh, have that talented brother of yours sign a disc and send it to me. Still got that disc :) Thanks bros

Sucks to be Paul and have to be reminded that you were using hair gel in 2015šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

u/MoistStub 9h ago

The faux hawk was popular at the time, if you take any old pic outta context it will look funny

u/iJon_v2 8h ago

In 2015? Not really, but that was his thing so it’s all good

-40

u/Wild-District-9348 9h ago

No faux were never cool ever…. I’m not making fun of him it’s funny every one looks dumb in old pictures relax

25

u/MoistStub 9h ago

Said it was popular, not cool. Idk why you're telling me to relax you seem more worked up about this than me lol.

-25

u/Wild-District-9348 9h ago

Haha I guess that was more of a reference to the downvotes. I guess I offended a lot of people who enjoyed gelled faux hawks. I apologize everybody didn’t mean to offendšŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

u/JKorv 8h ago

Your comment is downvoted because it was unnecessary and rude, not because you offended faux hawk fans.

-10

u/Wild-District-9348 8h ago

Oh found a disc golf Karen😬

u/JKorv 8h ago

Lol, grow up. Would you say youe comment in person to Paul?

-1

u/Wild-District-9348 8h ago

Haha absolutely… he’d probably laugh. If you interact with people in real life you’d understand most people aren’t uptight and have senses of humor.

u/JKorv 8h ago

Seems like most people don't agree with your humor.

u/superjerk99 9h ago

lol I had a fo-hawk for a little while back in the day. Definitely thought it was a good look at the time, but yeah now looking back at the trend it feels like when jynco jeans were super cool. All trends that come and go feel dumb 15-20 years later lol.

u/PsyferRL Would rather be GC2 at Disc Golf 8h ago

The JNCO jeans look is back. It's every bit as bad now as it was before, but it's back nonetheless.

u/Wild-District-9348 9h ago

Haha ya that’s all I was saying I’ve been shaving my head for 20 years because trying to figure out a haircut is something I don’t want to think aboutšŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

u/Lofi_Loki 2h ago

You’re in a subreddit devoted to throwing plastic circles at baskets in the woods. Do we really need to make fun of things other people do?

u/ParkRangerPatrick 8h ago

Gannon must get so many chicks now

u/itago 6h ago

Disc golf isn't the pantydropper you might think it is

u/ParkRangerPatrick 6h ago

I disagree. My wife’s boyfriend throws over 450 and women can’t get enough

This is why pros sound never take pictures with kids. One day they might be defeated by them and have to see these dumb pictures for the rest of their lives.
