If you’ve come to this site more than a couple of times, you might notice something new at the top of the site. That’s right, if you weren’t getting enough Mind Body Disc here on the blog, on Twitter, on Instagram, and on FaceBook, you can now get some hot MBD action over on one … 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. This isn’t just a piece of disc golf advice, this is invaluable life advice. We have a terrible tendency to look at … Read more

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

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
