It’s been a month since I started down the road to the 2015 GBO. I can’t believe how fast time is flying by. What, at first, seemed like a lot of time to prepare is becoming shorter and shorter every day. Before you know it I’ll be packing up the car and dropping the dog … 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
Abraham Lincoln once said that if he had 6 hours to chop down a tree, he’d spend the first 4 sharpening the axe. Abe was a pretty smart guy. I really don’t think he was talking about chopping down trees and that saying applies to an awful lot of things in life. The only … Read more
Wow, Christmas has come and gone. New years is right around the corner. The 2015 GBO will be here before you know it. I’ve had more than a few people look at me funny when I tell them I’m training for a tournament that’s 4 months away. At the rate time is passing lately, that … Read more
I can’t believe a week has gone by already, but it’s time for the second installment of our new weekly feature, The Road to the 2015 GBO. If you remember last week’s post, I touched on the first two things I put in place to train and get ready for the Glass Blown Open … 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
Almost two months ago, I reserved a hotel room in Emporia, Kansas. About a month ago, I registered for the 2015 GBO. About a week ago, I started my preparation. If you happen to live under a rock, the GBO (Glass Blown Open) is one of the biggest disc golf tournaments of the year. … Read more
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
One of life’s cruel tricks is that the tools and perspective you need to make the most of life often don’t come to you until well after you need them. How many times have we said things like… “If I could go back to high school knowing what I know now.” or “If I could go back to college knowing what I know now.” or “I wish I could go back and date that person again knowing what I know now.” It seems like we are never fully equipped with the knowledge we need at the time we actually need it. This is especially true for me when it comes to disc golf advice.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but winter is coming. I don’t mean “Winter is Coming” as in the totally bad ass TV show Game of Thrones is coming. That won’t be here for a while. I mean snow, ice, windchill, salted road, hard to play disc golf in an arctic tundra … Read more
