Disc golf is not a race. Slow down. I play a lot of solo rounds and it always amuses me when I get passed by groups of 2, 3, and 4. What’s their hurry? Are they trying to be done? I don’t know about you, but I’d like my rounds to last as long as … Read more
It’s been a while since I’ve posted an article in this series. I thought it was about time to get another one up. If I had to pick the athlete that I’d most like to have the traits of, it would be a gymnast. Gymnasts are extraordinarily strong, but they balance that with explosive speed … 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
As I prepare for the GBO, I’m continually reminded that I’m in the process of crafting one of my best memories of the 2015 GBO as we speak. Years from now, when I look back on the experience, I’ll remember the time I put in practicing and preparing. This time spent getting ready for … Read more

For most shots, you are allowed to throw from behind the disc you just threw. In most cases, this is an advantage. The rules state that your front foot is … Read more

So if you haven’t noticed, my posts can get a little long. I sit down at the keyboard and before I know it I’ve vomited 1,000-2,000 words into my MacBook. I really appreciate those of you that make it through those long articles. I also realize that there are many people whose eyes start to … Read more
