Distance Discouraged - Disc Golf Course Review: "Well, I decided to pick up a disc for the first time a week ago after reading about the fun that this game brings. Turns out it's a lot harder than it looks and I've found myself embarassed!
Of course not enough to stop me from pressing on! I went out and continued today and found my throws to go ~150' fairly reliably (at least the ones that didn't go hunting for gophers or into the clouds ). That distance was consistent no matter how I threw it (backhand, forehand, overhead) with rare flukes stretching to 200'."

Subtraction by subtraction: Eliminating mental errors to find lower scores
Subtraction by subtraction: Eliminating mental errors to find lower scores: "The term “addition by subtraction” refers to the potential for improving something by removing one or more variable from the equation. In a sports context, it’s normally applied to a scenario where the elimination of a negative factor (an under-performing player or negative influence on a team, for instance) results in some type of improvement. But in golf, less is more, right? We want those scores to go down, not up. Therefore, the title of this post is Subtraction by Subtraction. Same concept, but embracing the points below will result in strokes being subtracted from your average score. Got it? Okay, here we go!"

Since I already had a partner Coach went looking on the message board like a lounge lizard during happy hour."

Get more distance on your disc golf drives
Get more distance on your disc golf drives: "One thing that most disc golfers want to do is increase the distance of their drives. Throwing for extra long distance requires a type of shot that you don't use anywhere else. There are 2 techniques that will give you your maximum distance. The first is the hyzer flip, which if done correctly will give an S curve flight. The other is the flex shot, which is an anhyzer release that also makes the disc fly with an S curve flight."

A tournament at the Chasm more than delivers on expectations
A tournament at the Chasm more than delivers on expectations: "We’ve all been to parks or hiking trails or fields and immediately had those disc golf lines appear before our eyes.
We’ve all stared down a line of trees and thought, “That would be a really fun fairway to play.” Maybe you’ve even been lucky enough to set up a few safari holes or played a round of pirate golf in those areas. But chances are you’ve never thrown a disc across raging rapids, or down 200 feet of sheer cliff side."

Twin Cities...March 28th--30th - Disc Golf Course Review: "Any info/tips for Twin Cities disc golf would be appreciated. I have played Kaposia, so I'm probably not going back there unless someone can give me a very good reason on this thread.
I am still in the planning stage for this road trip and if all goes well, the kids will spend the weekend with their grandparents while I will get an opportunity to explore some new disc golf courses in the Great White North because the wife is this/close to signing herself up for a weekend seminar to earn some continuing education hours in Bloomington."

Tee Off And Fly Freely - DGA | Disc Golf Association
Tee Off And Fly Freely - DGA | Disc Golf Association: "“Steady” Ed Headrick (PDGA #001) was affectionately referred to as the Father of Disc Sports, and more specifically the Father of Disc Golf for his role in the creation of the sport we all know and love. He tirelessly traveled the United States and other parts of the world spreading the joy of the flying disc and planting the seeds of disc golf everywhere he went. With the ever growing popularity of the sport, it’s safe to say that Ed’s early work helped lay the foundation for disc golf’s current success."

Why use OS discs for FH? - Disc Golf Course Review
Why use OS discs for FH? - Disc Golf Course Review: "o here are some things I have heard over and over again:
- You should start new players with understable discs so they don't develop bad habits like OAT.
- You should be able to forehand any disc you have.
- OS discs hide OAT and other problems with your throws much more than US discs do.
- Top FH throwers will FH US discs."

HeavyDisc: Improving Back Hand Distance
HeavyDisc: Improving Back Hand Distance: "I watch an absurd a reasonable (depending on who you ask) amount of disc golf on youtube and the one thing I've noticed in the difference between the top pros and the top Am's is how consistent the pros are. Top pros will put a 200' shot within 30' of a pin 9 out of 10 times.
At the core of consistency in most sports is creating body mechanics that are reproducible. Consider a pro baseball pitcher throwing a pitch or a pro tennis player hitting a serve: each repetition is nearly indistinguishable from the next. Once it's completely reproducible - it's much easier to be consistent and can be counted on to go where you want it to."

Disc Golf Training | Tips to make you a better at disc golf
Disc Golf Training | Tips to make you a better at disc golf: "Now that you have the fairway drivers and mid range disc down, you want to get to the drive. The last post about the x step is part of the drive, but you can use the x step for mid range shots and for driving shorter holes. This is about driving for longer distance by using the proper techniques, and about how to learn those techniques."
