So many people quit right before they are about to achieve breakout success. So many people stop just before the finish line. So many people would be so much further along in their life if they simply had not quit. Have you ever played a round against someone who just would not go away? That … Read more
Foot faults. They don’t get called a lot in casual rounds, but they still bug the snot out of me. It’s pretty straight forward, you have 30cm behind the center line of your mini to plant your foot when you throw. I kind of understand how this happens when people are using a run up. … Read more
I mentioned in one of my Facebook updates this week that I am restricting my reading to sports psychology for the duration of my preparation for the GBO. I’m really enjoying that decision and I highly recommend that if you play competitively at all you check out at least one book on the subject. I … Read more
I’m always surprised by the number of people I run into who don’t play solo rounds. Not only do they not play solo rounds, they would rather not play at all than play by themselves. I just don’t get that. Sure, it’s fun to play with your friends. It’s fun to play in tournaments and … Read more
90 days, folks. That’s 3 months. A lot can happen in 3 months. A lot needs to happen. I’ve got every week planned. I’ve got all of the needed steps mapped out. I thought I’d thought of everything. I was wrong. What I didn’t plan for was margin. I didn’t plan for “what if”. I … Read more

More specifically than that, I am completely obsessed with what discs different people carry and why. I have watched more … Read more
Wow, we are officially in the double digits for the countdown. The GBO is a little over 3 months away and there is still so much to do. I know I say this every time, but damn this is flying by. I almost feel like I’m behind already. This week I had a realization that … Read more
One of the things I love about disc golf is that it’s one of the few sports I’ve seen where the competitors actually root for each other. I want you to make your 30 foot putt. I want you to drive it in the fairway. I’m super excited for you when you hit an ace. … 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
