Disc golf practice.

Several hundred reps at the practice basket. Another couple hundred drives in the field. Pretty common recommendations for practice, right?

I hear people all the time talking about “knocking out” a certain number of practice putts. They “got in” X number of throws out in the field. They are quite proud of being able to get in a practice round in under so many minutes. First, I’m not here to knock anyone that is practicing … Read more
