The psychology of disc golf.
Don’t compare your middle to someone else’s end. That’s not the punchline to a dirty joke, those are words that all of us need to remind ourselves of every once in a while. This isn’t just a piece of disc golf advice, this is invaluable life advice. We have a terrible tendency to look at … Read more
A Zen Conversation I mentioned in my review of Zen and the Art of Disc Golf that I felt like I had a lot in common with Patrick McCormick, the author. I also said that because of that, I looked forward to the day when we could have a conversation with about life, the universe, … Read more
So, it’s 2015. Another year starts, another season of holidays ends. A lot of us end our years in the same way. We overindulge, eat too much, stop going to the gym (if we were even going in the first place), and otherwise slip into what we know is bad behavior simply because “things are … Read more

In reality, it’s out there. Out on the course. In the practice field. In your garage practicing putting. … Read more
And in my case, if you can’t putt, start practicing! This is an exciting time here at the Mind Body Disc HQ. Things are really picking up steam around here. I won’t bore you with all of the why on this post, but let’s just say that consistently moving forward is paying off. Even … Read more
