Alden resident says winter disc golf keeps the weight off | Albert Lea Tribune

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."

Uncle Rico's Fieldwork | HeavyDisc

Uncle Rico's Fieldwork | HeavyDisc: "I'm not an expert, I am not a tournament player and I certainly don't want to pretend I'm better than I am. I'm just a guy who wants to get better. 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."

Why does a flat top equal more stable? - Disc Golf Course Review

Why does a flat top equal more stable? - Disc Golf Course Review: "I finally got my hands on an OS, board flat disc (CE Valk) that has excellent glide and found some wind to throw it into yesterday. I noticed that my nearest equivalent disc (star Orc) flew almost identical down wind and/or down-to-side wind but much less stable into the wind than the Valk. "
