The philosophy and zen of disc golf.
If you are ever looking for something you can keep lying around and just pick up and read when you need a shot of motivation, On the Shortness of Life by Seneca would be a great choice. If not, then this little gem of a quote is a nice start. If you listen to any interviews … Read more
One of the things I love about disc golf is that it’s one of the few sports I’ve seen where the competitors actually root for each other. I want you to make your 30 foot putt. I want you to drive it in the fairway. I’m super excited for you when you hit an ace. … 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
Dear Torque Monkey, I’ll just cut to the chase. I need to see other disc golfers. It’s just not working out between us. I wanted things to work out, I really did. I had high hopes for us, I thought we would go far. I was wrong. You spent $20 on me, so I … Read more

As I prepare for the GBO, I’m continually reminded that I’m in the process of crafting one of my best memories of the 2015 GBO as we speak. Years from now, when I look back on the experience, I’ll remember the time I put in practicing and preparing. This time spent getting ready for … Read more
Ironic that someone that writes a blog and posts daily on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook would create this image. Too often, we get caught up in thinking the answer to our disc golf fix is on line. 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
I’ll be honest. Winter is not one of my favorite times of year. I’ll go sledding with my niece a couple of times, go skiing a few times, and find a way to enjoy a couple of other snowy days. Otherwise, I’d rather just skip to spring. This time of year, I am constantly on … Read more
