If you are a racing fan, you are familiar with the phrase, “slow is smooth and smooth is fast”.  Variants of that phrase are used in many sports.  I’ve heard it in bowling, ball golf, and baseball to name a few.  It might seem counterintuitive, but it’s true every time.  It’s not until a race … Read more

Just the Tip – Cold Practice

Several hundred reps at the practice basket.  Another couple hundred drives in the field.  Pretty common recommendations for practice, right?  Read this blog or a number of others and you’ll see this type of practice regimen prescribed repeatedly.

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
