In a previous tip, we talked about seeing the line. Actually looking, in your mind’s eye, for the flight line you want your disc to take. While that works well, there’s an additional aiming aid that, when combined with seeing your line, will have you shooting lights out in tight quarters before you know it. … Read more
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
It’s here, it’s here, it’s here, it’s here!!!! It’s finally here! Happy spring everyone!!! OK, so we still have some cold and crappy days to deal with (a couple came this week), but we are finally putting winter in our rear view mirrors.

If you had told me that one day I’d be quoting Naomi Judd in a disc golf blog, I would have laughed at you. Loudly. Multiple times. Then I would have slapped you and told you to come back later when you were talking sense. But here we are, me quoting Naomi Judd. This one … Read more

Last week, I wrote a post about learning to throw from a stand still. Specifically, the recommendation was to learn to do it with your putter. You’ve heard me recommend this plenty of times before, but it can’t be stressed enough. Learning to throw a putter off the tee and for upshots is one of … Read more
Several years ago, I blew out 4 discs in my back. It was a very dark time in my life filled with pain, a loss of hope, and the inability to play disc golf. It was horrible and I don’t wish an experience like that on anyone. If you have ever had any disc issues … Read more
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

I’m blown away by how many people don’t carry a towel. For … Read more
