Perhaps the pressure McBeth had wanted to create was being felt. The Coloradan slapped his thigh and said, “C’mon man!” It was a rare show of emotion. On hole 6, Gossage pulled a late release backhand too wide to be in range of a birdie putt. But how do we quantify a champion’s heart? That same group of friends who shared the emotion of Tattar’s win were also commenting on Paul McBeth all week: ‘McBeth is injured’, ‘McBeth looks to be struggling’, ‘McBeth looks old compared to those whippy-armed youngsters’, ‘McBeth might be past it.’ Then I’d look at UDisc and think, ‘McBeth is still here.’ĭespite the well documented struggles with his putting consistency and the left calf (and shoulder) injury, McBeth found a way to stay in striking range of the leaders all week and turned for home only three throws behind leader Aaron Gossage. We can try to quantify the different tools required to ascend to the elite ranks in disc golf: arm speed, distance, lever lengths, forehand, backhand, a repertoire of shots and putting ability, to name a few. “Tänan teid südamest,” she said as she put her hand to her chest. When she was invited to say a few words to her followers, Tattar switched to Estonian at the end of the message. I’ve been thinking about it almost every day and now I’m here and I achieved it so it’s definitely a dream come true.” This dream kept me going when it was tough. I thought about it a lot during the off season. I don’t know if someone can wake me up from this dream.
I swapped messages with some friends who all admitted to having tears well up. In Australia, the Estonians are universally loved - as is Kristin Tattar it seems, because hers was a very popular win. By my calculations, the country of 1.3 million with its 2,276 current PDGA members makes that the highest number per head in the world. I don’t know about the rest of you, but we have a lot of expat Estonians playing disc golf in Australia. We also cry to invoke empathy from others, so they can connect and share our experience. Apparently, the crying releases chemicals which deepen our feeling of the moment. Why do we cry in moments of triumph, anyway? Some might say that the joy causes us to reflect on the struggle that got us there, and Tattar has certainly had plenty of struggle. It was then that Kristin Tattar failed at something this week. As she strode back down the tee pad, her eyes had the slightly opaque look of someone who is fighting to keep a lid on their emotions.Īfter laying up to the base of the elevated basket, one tap-in away from a first world title, she turned and wrapped caddie Keiti Tätte in a long hug.
Safe on the green with an eight-throw lead, it seemed the moment had arrived. Then, on hole 18, she punched her drive low and hard across the water, giving the light breeze no chance to lift the disc out of bounds. Something different from the serene stare and occasional smile she’d been showing us all week. Whenever she was on the camera, I studied her face, searching for a change in expression.
