Putting. It’s the one basic disc golf skill that everyone needs more practice at. No matter how good you get, regular putting practice will become a permanent fixture in your disc golf life if you hope to stay good. I’ve even heard it said that to be great at disc golf, you have to fall … Read more
I’m trying really hard not to burn the wagon. Really I am. Let me explain… Pretty soon, the count down calendar goes to double digits. As I’ve said several times on FaceBook, I can’t believe how quickly this is going. I’ve officially been on the road to the GBO for a month now. It was … Read more
Don’t compare your middle to someone else’s end. That’s not the punchline to a dirty joke, those are words that all of us need to remind ourselves of every once in a while.

Hand warmers and layers are standard fare and a good pair of boots is your best friend. Not only is … Read more
Dear Torque Monkey, I’ll just cut to the chase. I need to see other disc golfers. It’s just not working out between us. I wanted things to work out, I really did. I had high hopes for us, I thought we would go far. I was wrong. You spent $20 on me, so I … Read more
