THE BDGC
COMIC STRIP
THE STORY OF BDGC AS TOLD BY AI
If you are like me, you grew up reading comic books. From X-Men and Spiderman, to Teenage Muntant Ninja Turtles and Fantastic 4. Since my days as a young boy, I have always been interested in the art style and story lines that can be found in comic strips. This childhood nostalgia has led me to the idea of creating a BDGC Comic Strip series. However some of you may not like how I made this series possible, and I wanted to be upfront about that. Since I don't have the time or skills to design the series myself, or the funds to pay an artist, I have leaned on AI to help this idea come into fruition. Yes, I know, it is a touchy subject and I would absolutely prefer to make this series possible without AI, but I just don't have the resources to make it possible. That said, in this series, I am using YouTube AI to summarize each video into words and then prompting ChatGPT to create the images based on the video description that YouTube summarized. So far, this has created some really fun promotional pictures for my videos, however If you prefer not to support AI and prefer art and productions from actual people, I completely understand. In that case, please just visit any other page on this website where I have personally created each of the videos myself and please enjoy the photos in the background that were all taken by my lovely wife Amanda of Five Lens Photography. If you wish to continue, enjoy a breakdown of each volume!

ALL SIDEARM CHALLENGE
PART ONE
VOLUME 4
ISSUE 11
The video, titled "All Sidearm Challenge - Part 1," features the Baysinger's Disc Golf Channel (BDGC) at Athens Regional Park Disc Golf Course in Athens, Tennessee (0:55). This is a challenge video, chosen by viewers through a poll on their Facebook page (1:14-1:27). The challenge is an "all sidearm challenge," an idea suggested by a supporter named Bobby Swain (1:27-1:45). The participants are playing from the short tees to the short baskets (1:53-1:56) and note that it's a very windy day (1:56-2:02). The video covers holes 1-9 (0:00-43:01). Throughout the video, the players attempt to throw all their discs sidearm, leading to various challenges and humorous moments. One of the players, Jason, struggles with a shot that barely stays in bounds (8:30-8:32) and another instance where his disc goes out of bounds (12:19-12:50). The video also mentions that the players are not familiar with the course, with one having played it briefly five years ago, but the others having never played it before (42:34-42:54). The video ends with a cliffhanger, encouraging viewers to watch part 2.
ALL SIDEARM CHALLENGE
PART TWO
VOLUME 4
ISSUE 12
This video is the second part of an "All Sidearm Challenge" at Athens Regional Park DGC, covering holes 10-18 (0:00). The challenge involves players using only sidearm shots, including putts. Key moments and results from the challenge: The video features various disc golf shots and reactions from the players throughout the back nine holes (1:02-39:52). At the end of the round, the initial results were announced: Riley in first place, tied for second were the host and Jason, and then Jerry in fourth, and Griffith in fifth (39:55-40:20). However, a post-game review of the footage revealed some discrepancies (40:40). It was found that Riley had two instances where he used a backhand motion, disguised as a sidearm, on hole 11 (41:18) and hole 13 (41:22). To make it fair, only one stroke was counted against him, resulting in a tie for first place. This means there will be a playoff video between the host, Riley, and Jason, which has already been filmed at Panther Creek State Park in Morristown (41:41-42:09).

Despite being his first round in over a month, leading to some rust in his game (4:47-4:59), he provides an honest review of the discs. He particularly praises the Dream Weaver as his favorite disc from the lineup, noting its glide and straight flight when thrown on hyzer (19:33-19:57).
