Backhand or forehand?? - Page 4 - Disc Golf Course Review: "How often does that happen with a BH anny with a stable disc? Almost never. There is much more touchiness with the FH anny, but then again if you throw BH well there is absolutely no reason at all to master that shot."

The "rip point" - Disc Golf Course Review

The "rip point" - Disc Golf Course Review: "So I'm starting to realize how to use my hips to get much more power out of my drives but when i'm ripping it the disc seems to come out from my ring and middle finger instead of pointer finger as it should. This causes more griplocks and makes it harder to control. I've been experimenting with different thumb placements also. Is there something I could try instead of different grips?"

Have watched a bunch of videos of pros and tournaments. Sometimes it is hard to stop the video close to someone's release point, but it look like most pros release the disc somewhere within a foot past their body. "

If the water hazard is frozen is it still OB? - www.DiscGolfersR.Us

If the water hazard is frozen is it still OB? - www.DiscGolfersR.Us: "At the Twin Ponds Course in Asuable, NY. on hole two. From the tee it is 225' over the southern end of the pond then another 125' thru a line of trees to the basket. The line of trees is just 35' short of the basket, so any drive between 225' and 300' has to contend with the trees. However, if you throw 200' to 250' more to the middle of the frozen pond you have a nice open 100' to a 125' approach.  Is this still OB or a bonus for freezing our buts off playing?"

Course in Jeopardy! Animal Shelter being built on existing Disc Golf Course! - Page 2 - Disc Golf Course Review: "Seems you are screwed. Animal shelters are usually seen as public works or service. Disc golf only hope to be seen as public recreation. A general cry to the public would also likely see an overwhelming outcry for the poor underweight puppies and kittens the shelter would show.

Alden resident says winter disc golf keeps the weight off | Albert Lea Tribune: "Disc golf to Dave Sime isn’t just about throwing plastic orbs at chains. It’s about staying fit.

Before the Alden resident discovered disc golf in 2009, his weight would go down in the summer and up in the winter. A golf course superintendent, he would be more active in the warm months. His normal weight was 210 to 215 pounds. If he was consistent about walking and exercising, he would lose 10 or so."

Putting Practice - Technique - Disc Golf 4 Women

Putting Practice - Technique - Disc Golf 4 Women: "Val’s Response:
Now, I will be the first to admit that I do not like practicing. Practicing to me takes the fun out of the game for me, like homework almost. But there are the rare occasions that I get out the backyard and the one thing that I work on is my putting. Although, I might not be the best role model for putting, I can also say that it dramatically helps create positive reinforcement when you step out on the course."

I spend time almost everyday in an empty field like Uncle Rico and I have found that it has helped my game far more than actually playing rounds. In 6 months I've gone from absolutely zero skill and zero confidence to having some skill and feeling pretty confident in my backhand shots."

SM has free courses at north, south end of town: "If you like the outdoors and golf, then disc golf might be the sport for you — and it’s free.

The family sport is easy to learn and played much like traditional golf, but instead of using golf balls and clubs, players throw a flying disc or Frisbee from a cement tee area to the target. The most common targets are elevated metal baskets on a pole, also called a pole hole."
