![My Portland Open was ALMOST Amazing!!! [DGPT+ Vlog]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/C6atRmuVAiY/mqdefault.jpg)
Isaac is genuinely one of the nicest guys on the planet.
Super awesome dude. Ran into him practicing at my home course this week.
Robinson bros were raised right 👊
Brother, we are just enjoying see you live out your dream. It's insane. It was your first DGPT event....literally the top level of play anyone can reach. You just played in one....give yourself some credit!!! You're networking, playing disc golf for a living, and meeting people this time last year you wouldn't think you'd ever meet. Keep it up.
Care a little less of what people think. Be more in the moment (shot by shot) and your audience will either hate you or like you regardless of how you do. I didn't like you at first because you were all over the place but your hard work made me do a 180. I'm guessing that's why your channel has done so well. Just keep up the hard work good and things will come.
You mean 180🤔
@@joonasd2390 ahh the CZcams police is always there for me. Thanks! 😆
@@joonasd2390had flashbacks to Last Action Hero
hes a spaz lmfao dude needs to relax on life and hed be alot better off
He's still all over the place
"Was i even ready" -dude thats been playing for two years
❤
Yup. These dudes mostly grew up with a disc in their hand. Pretty impressive to come this far.
@@brianc1651 I agree as most have been playing since age 9--12 maybe even younger and here is Anthony Bondanza and playing as nearly a 1000 rated player and after 2 years prior of playing Disc Golf going to play on the Disc Golf Pro Tour. Only player I can think of like him is from Aberdeen South Dakota Ezera Aderhold where he has had some of shortest time from learning disc golf to being on Pro Tour, his only flaw is Esera is bit cocky due to being 21 at oldest.
@@caseysmith544There’s no way Ezra is only 21??????
@@garnerthecube7524 He graduated in 2020--2021 so yeah, he was 18 almost 19 when he graduated. He only 21--22 now.
@@caseysmith544pretty sure Ezra just turned 24 in the off season. Ezra Robinson is 20 i think.
Dude, you're living your dream right now... how cool is that! You deserve to be there and worked your tail off to get there. With your work ethic there's no telling how far you can go. Keep pushing 💪
Young child enjoy the moment. 20 yrs from now these will be the treasures you remember
Anthony, watching you grow in both your game and personal life has been encouraging to this 66 year old. Enjoy your experience. You are living your dream!
You seem like such a genuine and kind dude. I really appreciate you.
Whether you were ready or not is almost insignificant.
Prodigy is benefitting with free advertising through your videos, and you are benefitting by getting experience for your disc golf career and content for your CZcams career. W’s all around
The fact you have Gannon in your corner along with a dozen other champs, has to be confidence building, but also intimidating at the same time.
Hah I've gotten a lot better over the last year and one thing I noticed last year is what when I started hot or was playing well I would almost struggle harder than if I started bad or flat. I was doing the same thing you are talking about where my mindset switched to try and "protect the good round I am having". "Playing safe sometimes is playing insecurely" is an excellent way to put it. Props to your wife for caddying and also offering up wisdom like that. If you're playing your best when you're playing confident and loose, you gotta keep that mindset for the whole round no matter what is happening. Great vid, it's been a treat following your journey.
I was constantly updating the scorecard looking for how you shot. Also saw on the the discgolf worlds channel. Your going to be a household name for every disc golfer. All the luck in the world to you ar your next event
Isn’t this crazy.
I started following at 5k fans.
I loved this video, it's cool to see someone talk about that mindset as a focus because it is so important. I look forward to seeing your progress!
Hey man. You said you wanted to make your subs proud. I'm so proud of you. You are doing SO impressively well all things considered. So yeah. Your are there mate. Be there. Be proud of yourself.
1. I see that cool Bodanza Cowboy stamp👀
2. I’m not here to give any advice bc I haven’t been anywhere you’ve been. The only place I have been is being grateful for things. That’s why you’re my fav channel to watch. I’ve been watching you for almost 2 years, I’ve seen you grow and be AWESOME! You CAN make a cut and you CAN cash at a DGPT. Super proud to be a bodanza fan. Love you dude and Jesus loves you!
not only has your form gotten better but so has your mental maturity. I have really enjoyed watching your progress and am excited to see where your journey takes you.
Soo Proud of you Bodanza! I believe you will not only make the cuts, start cashing, but also you will start finishing top 10 and eventually win a tour event! There are a few reasons why I believe that. One of them is because of your courage to be vulnerable and relatably, and beautifully document your journey before you are ready. The fact that you are Humble and never stop learning, connecting, and developing from and with other players is huge. And Possibly the main reason why I believe in you is the honest self reflection, assessment, and internal work you are doing mentally, and working through your mindset, thoughts, and emotions to make yourself more and more of a man! That Man, is going places. Keep it up, I'm not alone when I say I am not only rooting for you but also, You are living out so many of our dreams with your bravery, work, mindset, commitment, skills, etc. Thank you for doing this. We'll see you around.
It was so great to meet you!! We're always here, cheering you on.... Enjoy having your hard work pay off.
It is so funny how people keep doing what we all did your first year plus with this channel. Everyone wants you to calm down and enjoy the process. Breath a little. But the truth is that hard work, chaos and self deprecation are your brand! That is what got you so far so fast. And you are obviously doing this all on purpose. And it is working. Good on ya. You freaking played WACO dude. That is insane. Great job.
Remember, you are there. Be there.
Good advice but I imagine it's hard to be there as a player and also be there as a fan at the same time. Being right behind the FPO lead card watching the disc golf goddess that Kirsten shred and take control of tournament right before your eyes has to be a distraction to you playing your own game as good as you are capable. But IMHO so worth it. Thanks for taking along the ride. And good luck with the qualifier.
I don't speak for everybody with ADHD but it does make staying "in the moment" on the course much harder lol
dude we are seriously so proud of you for going and playing. Give yourself so sometime bro, its your first tour event!!! you got this!!
I am 43 now. Picked up the sport in 2018 and played for 8 months before quitting. Came back to it in late July. Bee pnutting in work basically every free minute that I have had since then. I will never get close to this level. Most people did better than you, but you held your own. Enjoy the journey!
Keep up the hard work. No disappointments here. Love watching your journey, the lows and the highs. You're encouraging others to put in the hard work. Love the new stamp and can't wait to see your tour series stamp. Can't wait for the AB vs AB video.
I’m not used to seeing Drew look like that. It’s his first big tournament in a long time. He needs to go easy on himself.
Glad you are taking this one is stride. Your first pro tournaments are going to be almost purely educational. You’re a stellar player. You’re going to get a high placement at some point this year. I can feel it.
Nothing gets in my head more than wind.
Bro, knock it off!! Just the fact that you’re in pro tour events after just 3-4 years of playing in your mid 20s is something to be proud of. I understand that you’re trying to make us happy, but that shouldn’t be your focus. Focus on you and just think of us as a fly on the wall. We’re here to see the whole journey good or bad. So, just relax and take that pressure off of yourself cause we’ll follow no matter what.
We are all proud of you. Know that.
Just the fact that you made it this far after just a few years of playing is insane dude. Keep ya head up for sure!
Here's what I think: keep striving to make content like this. Push yourself to keep making these events a playing with these players. NO ONE ELSE ON CZcams IS DOING THIS! It's what's making you unique in the disc golf scene. Sure, guys like Simon and Eagle have channels too, but your content is much deeper than that and shows us as an audience what the pro tour is like from many more angles than we have seen before.
This is the best type of content you put out in my opinion. Yeah sure, I don't mind the disc reviews and casual rounds, but I can also go to other channels for those things like Foundation, etc. But let's be honest, you're the only real creator-first player that has a shot at making these events lol.
So please, keep doing this! It'll take time, but we are here to support and I am sooooo excited to see how you grow and change this year. And here's to hoping a tour card comes soon :)
Bless you brother! You’re a great inspiration for me to get out there and play. Today i learned how to properly grip my discs. Best 3 holes ive ever played on long baskets. Birdied the last hole 560 feet! Felt so good. Mental game is important for me and feeling in the grove. You make content i feel connected with! My wife and I are rooting for you bro! God bless!
So glad you got to play with nick!!! I was his caddie at Utah states last year what a great guy!!
Dude you are doing great stop kicking your own butt! I think you are serving a lot of masters with the content and competition. I watch a lot of your videos and the only expectation I had was the entertaining and honest video like you've shared.
1st huge shout out for putting yourself in the position to even be able to play a elite plus tournament, 2nd finishing even is awesome for 1st legit tournament, 3rd the experience of feeling and dealing with the emotions of competition is priceless. My best advice that I could offer with emotions during competition is don't try to ignore or block them but recognize them for what they are and use those feelings un your favor whether that is discing up or down playing safe or aggressive whatever the moment is telling you. Be in the moment and present and have a good time
I cared about who was winning/on lead card and where Bodanza was! Super cool to watch you have this experience & that your wife is so supportive of your love of disc golf. The best is yet to come my dude
I see you sneaking in the new stamp 🔥
Thank you for signing my disc and taking a pic with me! I started about a little less than a year after you did and you are the reason I believe in myself being able to make it in disc golf! Keep doing what you are doing!
This is awesome! So excited to watch you play and hear your summary. I’m still in my first year and you’ve been an inspiration. Even bought a tripod last week to try my own filming.
Awesome to see your journey and the experience you are gaining! Proud of you
dude you've willed your way to the pro tour in 2 years, so proud of you, you're doing it man, you're inching your way towards greatness, it's a marathon and you're on mile 2.
Bro, you're playing great! And you're chasing your dreams, which is more than most people can say. You got this - enjoy the journey!
You gotta give yourself some credit dude. You haven't been playing long at all and already playing on the Pro Tour. Just remember too, everyone is at least a little nervous on Hole #1.
Heard your tee time name called while watching live FPO. So proud of you!
This literally just comes down to getting the experience. The more you play in this atmosphere the better you will become and the more you will relax into these tournaments. Playing a round and not competing is completely different then what your doing in these. Keep grinding!
I like your honesty with yourself. Good self-evaluation - it will lead to success. Keep it up!
Gentle bro, you're playing a pro tour event after 2 years of disc golf, I'm about 8 months in and not on the track you're on at all, great job man
Bro I can’t believe you’re actually out there doing it. They all clowned on you out of jealousy and you’re literally out playing with Simon Lizotte. Be extremely proud, brother.
You did better than I would have.
I would have been dead last for sure!!!
Two things. 1) Everyone watching is proud of you just for getting there. You played your first mpo tourney last year ffs. I know people that have played mpo for years that have never tried to get on tour.
2) you're not the best player there and I know you know that. If you want to finish well you have to play hot. Playing hot is going to require aggressive play from you. Of course don't be dumb about it but if you have 50+% chance to birdie a hole you should go for it. Worst case scenario, you get the expected result.
Just my 2c, but everyone is stoked to see you at these big events and showing/documenting your growth in a public way like this. Like you said, there's no substitute for experience so get your reps in and enjoy yourself. You're making memories for a lifetime right now.
a lot of players weren't ready
Mental game is tough. You're a dedicated and competitive player. It's a learning experience. Good luck on the next one.
Love the content and watching the journey!! Keep it up can’t wait to see more. You should try and play the preserve such a fun course and overall fun experience
Lots of deep breaths. You are in a spot less than 1% get the opportunity to be in. Learn as much as you can, shake as many hands as you can and just enjoy the moment. You have a ton of people behind you no matter what the scorecard reads. You got this man!
That's a solid first pro tournament! Congratz!!
I know you have high expectations for yourself but I am beyond impressed in what you've been able to do in such a short amount of time.
Keep grinding man! I'm pulling for you!
We're all proud of you dude ... don't be hard on yourself, your living the dream. Enjoy it as much as you can ... don't let it become a pressure filled job.
You’re living the dream man. You got to play an event with Simon!?! And finished an elite plus event at even. Massive dub. Love it ❤
All I can say is, wow. What an amazing journey you've been on since I started watching your channel. Goodluck man, you're doing GREAT!!!
I used to play traditional golf touraments in high school and in my first tournament i was super nervous because i made it to day 3 winning a match play match and i didnt think id win against my opponent that day my grandfather told me something that has stuck with me through all golf ive played and it helped me actually win and make it to the last day he said "its you vs the course no matter who youre playing" when im nervous before any round i think about it and it kinda helps me keep my head straight
I really appreciate that you talked about the mental side of your game and how it affected the 2nd round. That is not easy to admit or talk about in general, much less to a MYRIAD of "critics" online. I am excited to see what you can do as you continue to play in these!
Imagine the pressure that someone like Simon has. Because you are learning people don’t have as high of expectations for you yet. A big part of the game is mental.
its hard to be good, but there is time and maybe you will get there. enjoy the ride! lets go!
Thanks for taking us with you Anthony!!
I've been rough on ya last couple years, to push you and it seems like you cane made great strides..keep on pushing yourself for even MORE improvement!
Stoked to see out there on the pro tour!! Next tournament 🔥
I really enjoyed seeing this journey of yours! This video was really great and I've learned a lot from it. I've only played local tournaments, but the pressure here must be so high. Well done son!!
Congrats with your first Pro Tour game! Keep going!!!
Wanna see you on Jomez lead card coverage someday💪🏻
As a returning player after a 20 year break, you give me hope. Watching your CZcams video's and your progression is inspiring. The Drew Gibson series has helped my distance and some of my mistakes. Keep up the good work.
I followed your card on Thursday (even asked if you had some merch) and really enjoyed watching you sling some discs on the beast.
thanks for sharing Anthony, on to the next! Gannon played you there by telling you to play it safe and don't make mistake. The whole round thats all you can think about haha :D its like when you say don't hit the tree and you hit it. Can't wait to see you on OTB skins match.
Proud of you man. Seriously.
This is a great learning experience, you will only improve from here, keep your head up and have fun !
Your gaining valuable experience along the way. Enjoy your journey learn from your mistakes and don't forget to have a little fun .😊
Life is like a camera. Focus on what’s important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives and if things don’t work out, just take another picture.
really interesting to hear your mental thoughts and just how nice everyone was to you, feels like many of us can kinda relate to you, hopefully you can come to norway(Krokhol) and qualify for Finland Major so we get to meet you.
You've come a long way in a short time, quite impressive. I enjoy tagging along for the ride.
Hey man, I know the pro tour is insanely hard and competitive. I don’t know about everyone else that watches your videos but during tournament weeks and weekends I would not be mad if you didn’t post at all that week (or not as much) and focused on your game. Being a fan of yours I would much rather watch your scores and see you doing good in the tournaments versus posting more during tournaments. Good luck in the next one! I can’t wait and hope to see your name going up the leaderboard.
Rooting for ya Anthony! You had me glued to pdga live all weekend, and it was awesome to see you put up a 1000 rated round on the pro tour. Excited to see what else you can do this season, you just gotta learn how to tap into that competitive mentality!
As great as it is for us to be able to follow along with your journey, it's gonna be amazing and really gratifying for you to have this documentation to look back on. One day this will be part of a feature film, somewhere. You're at the epicenter of the blowup and guys like you are why the pro tour is a big part of it.
I was following your hole scores during the tournament. Don’t get down, you have to compete with the best to get better. You will do better!
Too see how far youve come in such a short time! Wild dude.
my pro golfing buddy will always say "it's better to make a bad decision than to be indecisive". You chose the shot, live with it, love it and move on to the next because you cant change the last one. Keep on trusting yourself and your game.
So cool that you're pursuing your passion that alone should make you feel like a champ. Cant wait to try the MPO path myself keep it up!! #chicagodiscgolf
Just keep doing the good work! As you now know, you have what it takes. As you said, have fun and go for it! You have nothing to loose!
I play with 3 styles of play. They're passive, assertive, and aggressive.
1) The passive approach is conservative. Focus on safe landing zones. Try to par every hole. If it's a longer hole that's tough to par, then I'll be satisfied with a bogie. I will sometimes start playing in this style, until I feel like I can increase the intensity a little. If my mental game is off, I fall back to this mode.
2) The assertive approach is optimized. Focus on the farthest landing zone I can reach. Aim for birdies if possible, but still play with a cool head. This works if I can stay in the moment, and my mental game is strong.
3) The aggressive approach is if I'm in the zone. I've had some times where the throws are dialed in, and I'm hitting long putts confidently. Generally there's no mental issues, which allows me to play this way. That said, I haven't been able to be in this mode often. I'm mostly between the passive and assertive modes.
I shift between these styles if needed. If my accuracy is falling off, or I'm just shanking shots and having the yips, I'll dial it back. It's like having a 3-speed transmission, and I focus on using the "gear" that best fits how I'm playing. Just passing this along to you to consider. Best of luck to you this year, Anthony!
Dude, you played your first major pro tourney. That’s amazing! I’m proud of you for getting out there. Push on forward.
Dude, you’ve been playing TWO years and were competing with the best of the best.
I swear, i feel like you don’t give yourself enough credit, which is frustrating. You bust your ass and look where it’s got you in 2 years.
It’s going to come. It was your first even. Keep killing it
Bodanza, give it some time. Watching you play with my man GT at Laco was a pleasure. You kept your composure on your bad shots and your good shots. I wanted to tell you I was a big fan of the channel when I saw you but I didn't want to mess with your mindset during the round. Hopefully your Wife/caddy told you after the round. Keep it up.
Now you've Been through it. It gets easyer with every event. On to The next one!🎉
More starstuck meeting you than Drew Gibson 😅 cheers bro!
Keep grinding man. You got this. You're already a million miles away from where you started. Nothing but the best Brodanza 👌
Experience is key. Identify practice and progress!! Good job!
You are great 💪 Keep fighting!
My buddy Nick was on your third card. Crazy to think I’ve been watching you since I picked up my first set of disc’s 2 years ago
Playing confident is soo much more important than playing safe.
Bro you can’t be hard on yourself. First pro tour event. Keep grinding.
The first time has to be the hardest my dude. We're all here for the ride and having fun with you. Stay grinding BoVANza
Braden and Joey seem great, totally cheering for those guys!
A quick tip. Never think "dont shank", "dont hit that tree", "dont throw it bad" etc. Your brain cant register negatives (or something like that), so those thoughts with "dont" in them turn into "shank", "hit that tree", "throw it bad".
When I play a tournament and I realize I think in those terms, I step back, spam my thoughts with what I want to do, not what I dont want to happen. Its strange, but it kind of works. Think positive, and positive things will happen, think negative and negative things will happen. Its kind of the same with how you're feeling about your play. If you're bitter and angry about how you play, things will go downhill quite fast. Enjoy it, even if it is going bad. If it goes bad for me during play, I try to find fun things to do to. Like, try "fun" shots, so I have something to look forward to XD
If I'm not mistaken, you beat Simon ( arguably, one of the best to ever play) and won the bag on your back. Keep on keeping on. I can't imagine the nerves involved in your first event. I hope you are playing in the music city open. I'm making the trip from Canada to watch it live.
Don't beat yourself up about the result. It was your first!! Elite+ event ever. You did great no matter the score or result in the end. Also I think you're a big inspiration for a lot of us here
Can't forget, you got to play in a pro tournament on Simon's card... Not many people in the world can say that! Relax, play your game and don't forget to enjoy what you are doing!
Nerves are real. Super apparent in your drives in this video compared to others lately you are nervous/anxious. Trust the reps and let em rip.
Wee!!! Happy happy happy! Didn't generate any Skipace points this time but solid !!! ;D
