We finally had a nice day up here in Mass!! And it was perfectly timed with the 95% Solar Eclipse that was passing through the USA. I just had to pack my bag full of some eclipse plastic and try my luck. Also, I randomly ran into Casey, who was at the course checking out the eclipse with his family.

    It's all about the totality... I've seen partial's before, but the totality is a whole new ballgame... when there is still sun shining you can only see anything with glasses... during totality the entire sky goes dark, the temperature drops and when the moon is directly in front of the sun it creates something you've never seen nor will never see again...

    It's so appropriate for Casey's first Skywalker ace to happen on your channel

    I live in the path of the totality, I had seen the eclipse a few years ago as a partial eclipse and had the same reaction of "cool but why all the hype". Having seen the totality today was incredible, during the totality you can take your glasses off and easily look up and see a giant black dot surrounded by a halo of white light. Really amazing, plus its incredible to see the moon just shift past the sun enough for the first rays to come out and be unable to look without glasses anymore, that part made me really appreciate seeing the totality.
  • Totality was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I drove 2 hrs and it was worth it. When you think of the chances in life to see one, totally worth it.

    You should have made the drive. Total eclipse is a bucket list item. 99% is the same as 94%. Everything dims, but honestly meh. It is neat to look through glasses and see the moon crossing, but Totality is different. For totality, you watch through the glasses and that crescent becomes a curved sliver. The sliver’s tips fade away, and you get a very short line (reminiscent of looking at a comet). Then, click, the light switch is turned off and it is utterly black through the glasses. You remove them to see a black holed sun with long wavy angel wings of pure white light fluttering and dancing around the void. It explodes into existence as you remove your glasses. It is mesmerizing. Meanwhile, all the animals quiet and you sit in an early nighttime setting. You see the bright planets (Venus was in full spectacular view today). As you enjoy the utter beauty, you want nothing more than to freeze time. You want that moment to go on just a little longer, but the fleeting nature of it is part of what makes it so special. I could hear the kids at school cheering from 5 blocks away. As the sun returned, I felt both thankful and a little sad that the moment was ending. Then, from somewhere in the neighborhood I hear through a serious sound system, the Beatles, “Here comes the sun,” as the moon slowly releases its grip on the sun. It made me smile and appreciate just how great a moment I had just experienced. So, yes, it’s different.

    I drove 28 hours round trip with my Dad to get into the path of totality, and after seeing it... we agreed we would easily do double that. Not only did we both agree that it was the most incredible thing we've ever seen, but we felt that it will likely end up being the most incredible thing we ever will see --- unless we get the chance to see another eclipse. I know that sounds dramatic, but it really is the truth haha. Since then we have both dramatically changed our lives. He has lost a bunch of weight, I gave up drinking alcohol, and we have both made significant lifestyle changes at work and within our relationships to live a life we are both more proud of. All of that after seeing something that only lasted 4 minutes. Hopefully that paints somewhat of a picture of how spectacular totality really is. --- Loved the video Simon!
  • i saw the totality in Arkansas (drove from FL!) when the Moon started across the Sun it was cool, but unlike your experience there was anticipation of MORE. the countdown to totality was ELECTRIC. the switch from 99.9 covered to totality was almost shocking - even the tiniest sliver was too bright for naked eyes, then like a switch being flipped - totality & the corona! it was magic. when the sun reemerged everyone had to instantly look away & scramble for their glasses. it was well worth the trip & stress of changing plans for the upteenth time. now i want another! July 22, 2028 in Australia or New Zealand has a nice ring to it

    Witnessed both Total Eclipses in the past 7 years. First one at a LOUDON, TN Disc Golf Course. And yesterdays at Sunset Park DGC in Shelbyville, Indiana. Beyond words to describe them.
  • @discgolfbilly
    Casey brought some good luck to you Simon, and that means one thing, you'll win at Jonesboro!.....Excellent ace Casey & you''ll get a top 10 at Jonesboro, Casey White!
  • @PWheat23
    Congratulations to Casey for getting his first Skywalker ACE! He had been trying since it was released. Big day for him!
  • @IAmDBigz
    thankfully I live in Vermont and didn't have to leave my house to see the eclipse in totality. pretty sweet looking. def got pretty dark as it happened.
  • @Joshg8182
    I saw totality and what was amazing was how much the temperature changed and it was almost like someone hits a dimmer switch on the sun for awhile. And then seeing what looks like a sunset on the entire horizon. It was way better than I could have expected
  • @damonhorst1731
    I tried the same thing today...glow disc, but during the totality. It was a three hour drive to Poplar Bluff, MO. I almost aced with a glow firebird during the total eclipse. Totally worth the drive to see the full eclipse. It is an experience that should be shared because it is impossible to explain the totality to anyone who wasn't there with you.
  • @markd1199
    Thanks to you Simon for being an inspiration! I got the Pitch ace today in front of my wife and daughter! Best disc golf day ever so far! MVP forever!
  • Congratz Casey on that Skywalker ace! Man that was a sick line. Perfect shot!
  • @ssicari
    nothing compares to a total eclipse. Most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Have been lucky enough to see 2 in my life and highly encourage anyone to make the trip to get in the path of totality
  • @TheRoad2awe
    Happy for you Casey!!! Sweet skywalker ace
