You are probably reading this because you recently discovered the
amazingly fun, yet challenging, sport of disc golf. It seems so simple,
take that plastic disc and throw it, right? I bet after ten minutes you
also discovered it isn’t quite that simple. How do I throw it so it goes
more than 100 feet. Why can’t I make it fly straight?
Geez, these discs all fly different! Well, we all felt the same way (if
you didn’t, I don’t have words to express my jealousy =P). So, I
understand the frustration very well. So I will make it a little easier
the next time out and direct you to several really good resources that
will have you huking out big drives and draining putts in no time.
First and foremost, take some time and check out some of my older posts to the right side of the screen and my page on The Backhand
(check the button at the top of the screen). I have a full array of
good videos from around the net that really do give alot of insight on
the game. But for now, I’ll just pretend you’ve watched all those and
are ready for more insight.
Next, you should definitely check out outdoorgamelist.com
page on angle of release here! How you release the disc (amount of
power, angle, ect…) is probably the most important part of your success
or failure on any given shot.Lastly, you could do yourself a world of
good and visit what I like to think of as “the big three” of disc golf.
Most importantly, the official website of the Professional Disc Golf
Association and find the lastest news on tournaments and happenings.
Don’ t forget to download the 2010 official rule book. The other two
big wigs are Innova and Discraft, the leading manufactures in the
industry and chances are it’s one of their discs that you threw when you
started playing
Hopefully this has given you enough motivation and knowledge that
your most of your frustration can be transformed into motivation. As always
though, my best advice to any disc golfer is practice. You don’t need
to go to the course either. If you don’t have a basket to practice
putting, you can always pick out a target, like a tree or pole, in your
backyard. Then, any old open space can do to practice driving. The more
you throw, the more you’ll know.Now if you already love disc-golf, have
played for years or could out throw me in your sleep, I propose that not
only could you possibly gleen a tidbit of info that saves you some
strokes on your game, you could also help add to newer players enjoyment
and understanding of this wonderful sport by including your own
experience to the mix. I am always welcome to all input and believe
everyone has at least some valuable knowledge that could increase
everyone’s enjoyment of the fast growing sport in America. Please feel
free to chime in. Disc golf course review
At this moment, I am outlining the best way to organize my lessons
and tips to have newbies throwing par or better as fast as possible and
also the rest of us becoming more competitive, with less likelihood for
injury. I have begun by hunting down my favorite disc golf videos from
the web and compiling them into useful categories and thus, making them
easier to find. I also have a page on the backhand that breaks it down
into easy steps. In the near future look for more lessons on different
aspects of disc golf and also a forum to further simplify and expand
discussion. That all being said, I would like to thank you very much for
taking the time to visit (and possibly partitcipating in the
discussion. Stay tuned for new posts. www.outdoorgamelist.com
