    Form critique - drivers 350, mids 275

    Hello all, long time lurker, first post. I've been playing for 20 years, never really pushed myself to get better. Lately I've been putting a lot and improved significantly (average 250-260 on PP360), and my drive game is holding me back. I'm looking for more consistency and a little more...

    Trouble integrating for tournament play

    Thanks for the responses. Thanks for the advice Mark (see you at Am Nats again this year). Anyone have good pressure-inducing games for driving?

    Trouble integrating for tournament play

    I've definitely done a lot of "field" work in and around trees. My midrange "field" is actually a grove of scattered oaks that I pick lines through. I've been pretty good at hitting 10-15' gaps in practice, but the wooded courses in tournaments have been eating me alive. The same applies for...

    Trouble integrating for tournament play

    I've been working on accuracy and consistency for several months (intermittently for a few years), and in the practice field, have felt much better about most parts of my game. I'm not going for huge distance, but just good consistency under 400'. Lately especially, my drive accuracy in the...

    The "Incomplete" Secret Technique

    had a little bit of a breakthrough last night with mid-range practice. I usually can only throw putters 240-250, and last night I got several out to 300'. Also my Roc shots usually dead-end at 280-300, and last night I had one throw that flew over a 7' fence (by 5 feet) that was 300' away! I'm...

    Review by goalkeeper19 in course Kensington Toboggan

    5.00 star(s) My favorite course to date! This course is a disc golf paradise. No two holes play the same, and the more shots you know how the throw, the better. Elevation is used to great effect to create a LOT of shot variety. There are several true par 4's (simple dogleg and double-dogleg) and a tough...

    AM Nationals Qualifications

    I'm planning on going for the 5th straight year. I will not miss this tournament. I've been on a pretty long downhill slide for the last two years, but I'm hoping to get a lot of practice in for the tourney this year. Dan if you need a course guide, I've played that course 20+ times, and...

    Review by goalkeeper19 in course Brakewell Steel / Warwick Park

    5.00 star(s) AMAZING -Dual Concrete Tees -2 Colored Baskets per hole (silver and blue) -EXCELLENT variety in challenge. Silver-silver is a nice fun course that doesn't take very long to play, and is plenty easy to get birdies. Blue-blue, on the other hand, is a BEAST, and extremely challenging for...

    Review by goalkeeper19 in course Central Park - Old Layout

    4.00 star(s) Best 9-holer in Chicagoland -Great rubber tee pads -Lots of shot variety (straight tunnels, right and left turns, 2 double doglegs, open shots) -Well-designed, very challenging layout -No holes over 400', but the terrain and trees are used in such a way that only 2 holes are must-deuce -Several...

    Review by goalkeeper19 in course Vallarta-Ast DGC

    4.00 star(s) Great Mad City course BEAUTIFULLY maintained. The course is right off the highway, and very easy to get to. Two sets of great concrete teepads and multiple pin positions add a lot of variety in the length, layout, and challenge. Lots of different lines through manicured fairways. Holes...

    Review by goalkeeper19 in course Lohmann Park

    2.00 star(s) College Course Short beginner course, great for learning your upshot game. There are hyzers, anhyzers, straight shots, ceiling shots, and a tunnel shot. Several alternate teeboxes provide a little more length and challenge to an easy course. The homie backwards tees are more challenging, and...
