I’m not sure I’d want to play disc golf with Keanu Reeves. It would get really old really fast with him saying “Whoa” every time someone threw a good shot. I’d play with Neo, though. Morpheus too. It would be very cool to throw a shot in the woods only to have the trees all bend out of the way! I’d like to see McBeth do that!

Happy Misquoted Monday everyone!

I’ve played disc golf with some folks with tempers, but I think I’ll pass on playing with Mickey and Mallory Knox.

The post Misquoted Monday 12/14/15 appeared first on Mind Body Disc - Disc Golf Blog.

Last week on the Disc Golf Answer Man, my Mind Over Plastic segment focused on taking stock of the previous year. Looking back and making note of what went well and making plans to improve on the things that didn’t. As it gets colder and darker outside, I become more introspective. The furious activity of the summer gives way to to a quiet contemplation.

As I peer back across the last 11 months, one word stands out from all others. No matter what I see that I wish was better about 2015 (and don’t get me wrong, 2015 rocked for the most part!), it can always be traced back to one word…

Simplify.

I have too many discs. I carry too many discs. I try to be good at too many different types of shots. I try to do too much in any given round. I have too many things planned for the course outside of just playing. Somehow I’ve drifted away from the exhilaration of simply getting out and throwing. I’ve forgotten the pure joy in watching the flight of a perfectly thrown disc.

It seems like I almost never get to play anymore. I work a ton. I spend a ridiculous amount of time on this blog. When I am on the course, I spend more time worrying about throwing and testing whatever disc I’m reviewing than I do just playing. That needs to change. I need to simplify.

As I write about a lot here on the blog, disc golf is a microcosm of life. My disc golf issues translate directly to other areas of my life. I have too much stuff. I try to be good at too many different things. I try to do too much. I spend so much time on being busy that I’ve neglected the things that I hold most dear. Family. Friends. Creativity. Fun.

[tweetthis]Spend more time on things that matter, like #discgolf[/tweetthis]

As you make your way through the busyness of this holiday season, many of you will come to the same realization. Like a snowball rolling down a hill, you’ve spent the year picking up “stuff” at every turn. Each bit seemingly harmless until you realize you’ve gained a mass of things in your life that is no longer sustainable.

It’s similar to a lot of our disc golf bags. We start with just a few favorite discs. Then we add a disc here and a putter there. We win something at a tournament. A friend gives us a new piece of plastic. Before you know it we are carrying 20-30 discs when just those original few would be better.

So that leads us to the question of what to do about it. This is ‘murica after all. Aren’t we supposed to have a lot of stuff? Isn’t being the busiest one you know a sign that you’ve somehow “made it”?

Or maybe it’s not about how much. Maybe it’s about how good. Quality over quantity. In disc golf and in our lives.

How about you? How can you start to declutter your life and your disc golf game? What things have you accumulated over the years that you might be better off without? How can you simplify so that you can spend more time doing the things that matter most? How will you take the first steps towards a cleaner, more focused existence?

I think I’ll start by packing up my NutSac with my 5-6 favorite discs and heading out to a new course that was just installed 30 minutes from my house. I’m not bringing the two discs that DD just sent me to review. I’m not bringing my camera. I’m leaving my phone in the car. Just me and the pursuit of that perfect flight.

That’s a big part of why a lot of us play. It’s also a big part of why a lot of us carry cameras on every round. It’s why every disc golfer should have an Instagram account. The meeting of plastic, metal, and nature make for some stunning disc golf images and photography.

Every Saturday we’ll bring you a small sampling of disc golf beauty. We’ll bring you a reader picture or two. We’ll bring you some of our best disc golf images of the week. We’ll share the weekly and monthly finalists in the Mind Body Disc #MBDFridayFeature contest we run on Instagram.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy.

Disc golf is beautiful.

When Lt. Aldo Raine tells you all you’re going to be doing is playing disc golf, he means it. Put your ass kicking shoes on and get ready, I hear some of the German competition you’ll be facing will be pretty tough. And remember, if you take a 3, make sure you use the right fingers to indicate your score!

Here in Chicago we got our first snow of the year. That first snow truly tests who is a die hard disc golfer and who is not. This is a picture of Jay Barrows after getting an ace while playing in snow shoes!!! That’s what is called getting a reward for your dedication. Thanks to one of our readers, Nancy Meade, for sending us this photo!

We are super active over on Instagram and are constantly taking disc golf photos. This week we got 16″ of snow in one day, so I headed out to my home course, Squaw Creek in Round Lake, IL, and spent a few hours in the snow taking photos. I’m not real happy it snowed, but the pictures are coming out great!

Anyone else get tired of people posting pictures of themselves standing by a basket, holding a disc, with the caption “My 123rd ace!”. Either you’re full of it, or your home course doesn’t have any holes over 150 feet. And even then, no witness, no ace. Sorry, them’s the rules!

This shot was sent in to us by one of our readers, Michael Enzweiler. Trees are amazing things. Always unique and always captivating. They’re even better when you don’t hit them with your disc! We really loved this shot and thought you would too. Thanks for sending it in, Michael!
