The psychology of disc golf.
Last week I summarized some of the highlights of my trip to Emporia for the Glass Blown Open. After hitting publish on that post, I realized that I left out a hundred other cool things that happened. It’s just not an experience that can be described with my mediocre writing skills and have that description … Read more
I’m pretty sure that Winston Churchill wasn’t talking about disc golf. He was most definitely talking about more serious business than throwing plastic in the woods. But as we’ve talked about again and again, what is true in life is true in disc golf. When I was in Emporia, Kansas a couple of weeks ago, … Read more
