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'."

The location not only boasts a wide variety of specimen plantings, rolling topography, and an on-site pond, but has the possibility to expand to the adjoining leased property in the future, which is home to signature pine stands that would provide both shade relief and a variety of demanding holes."

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!"

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."

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."

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."
