The only things that matter for winter golf: -no white discs if you play in snow -use ribbons if you play in deep snow (A+ for helping pace of play) -no throwing irreplaceable discs -thick clothing, multiple layers, and tight muscles/tendons have 5x more impact on disc flight than temperature...

If you are not missing putts from that distance, don't fix anything. If you are missing and think a flatter disc angle will help, try not releasing the putter on a hyzer angle. Take video of yourself putting. See how you release the disc, then rotate your forearm/wrist clockwise (RH) or...

Why not count every 30 seconds as another stroke since that is the PDGA-prescribed duration in which to complete a throw? Say you focus on the golf rather than speed and shoot a 50 in 30 minutes, "score" is then 110. Same course the next day really focusing on speed, shoot a 60 in 25 minutes...

At a recent tournament, I smashed chains dead center on a 327ft, slight downhill hyzer with a gently sloping green. Not only did it fall out, it also did the slow roll about 60ft. No ace, no ace pot, not even a birdie. I have 10 aces and probably 100 close calls, ranging from chain ticklers...

I've played some of the best (casual) rounds of my life with nothing more than the following (disclaimer, New England courses are rather wooded and I would pick other discs for a significantly open course): Star Leopard3 (pretty fresh) Proto Star Rat (well seasoned) Proto Star Aviar3 (well...

Something I read about Ken Climo has always stuck with me. Paraphrasing here, but he basically said it's exhausting to focus 100% on golf through an entire round. Instead, he focuses 110% during the 10 to 30 seconds it takes him to pick a disc, line up a shot, and execute the shot. There is...

The style of shot depends on the shape. Sometimes you need a driver thrown hard and into the ground to execute a skip shot around a corner or under low branches. Other times a softly throw putter is best to really control the speed. Regardless, the only thing keeping you from throwing EVERY...

Upshot (AKA "up", as in "good up") - any shot, excluding off the tee, which approaches the basket without the intention of landing in the basket. The upshot antithesis would be a "run" (AKA "bid", as in "good bid") - any shot, including off the tee, which approaches the basket with the...

Got paired with one of the best putters in NH for random dubs a few weeks ago. He is an arborist and had very recently suffered a head injury that left one eye swollen completely shut for a few days. In 18 holes, I think he was 4 out of 5 in the 30 to 40 foot range. I asked him if he was...

Seasoned Star TL or GStar Thunderbird can be released flat and will fly straight until the ground/tree/basket intervenes.

Due to the courses in my area, probably 50% of tee shots are with a putter. Mostly Star Aviar3 for strong hyzer finishes, Star Dart for straight shots or a little flex, and then Pro-D Soft Magnets for some seriously late turning hyzer-flips. Comfortable with all 3 out to appx 275ft. The Dart...

4.50 star(s) Get here to play Variety: Each hole feels quite different from all the rest without any tacky additions to attempt to create unique holes. This is achieved through tremendous use of elevation, excellently shaped fairways, and difficult but fair basket locations. Signature Holes: This course...
