Your bag is fat. I don’t mean p-h-a-t like super groovy and bitchin’ and any other passe term for cool you can come up with to use for comedic effect. I mean it’s big and fat and needs to go on a diet. It’s like the US government, bloated with useless excess. [tweetthis]My #discgolf bag … Read more
The second putt always goes in. You know what I’m talking about. You miss that first putt, pick up another putter and just fire it at the basket. That second putt always goes in. The same thing happens with lots of other shots. You’re standing in the woods and you hit the first available … Read more
Life doesn’t let up. Ever. I wish sometimes that it did, but it doesn’t. Sure, there are times when you can carve out a few moments to step back and take a breath. That’s necessary for progress and for sanity. But on the whole, you’ll always have to be back at it sooner than … Read more
A quote from one of my all time favorite series of books… “A towel, [the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy] says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have.” It’s a damn good thing for a disc golfer too.

Foot faults. They don’t get called a lot in casual rounds, but they still bug the snot out of me. It’s pretty straight forward, you have 30cm behind the center line of your mini to plant your foot when you throw. I kind of understand how this happens when people are using a run up. … Read more
I mentioned in one of my Facebook updates this week that I am restricting my reading to sports psychology for the duration of my preparation for the GBO. I’m really enjoying that decision and I highly recommend that if you play competitively at all you check out at least one book on the subject. I … Read more
I’m always surprised by the number of people I run into who don’t play solo rounds. Not only do they not play solo rounds, they would rather not play at all than play by themselves. I just don’t get that. Sure, it’s fun to play with your friends. It’s fun to play in tournaments and … Read more
One of the best pieces of tournament advice out there is to not play courses blind. Your tournament round should not be your first round on that course. If it is, you are just asking for trouble.
