Disc Golf Clinics Don’t Make You Better at Disc Golf

Yeah, I just said that. This week’s Wisdom Wednesday post, along with a recent post on Instagram by Will Shusterick really have me thinking.  As the weather gets crappier and crappier, disc golfers will spend more and more time inside instead of outside playing.  I’ll save you a very long rant about that one (put on … Read more
