    Review by prettyboyfloyd in course Howling Coyote DGC

    3.00 star(s) Good course, but small Best use of the area they were given. I only had one issue navigating the first time, but the course map at the kiosk in the parking lot was excellent. I took a picture of it with my phone and referred to it only once. Its a multi-use park and the design kept the discs...

    Long downhill throws

    Hole 14 at Whistler's Bend (OR) is most definetly a throw down the slope shot. The basket is the speck near the bush to the left of the guys head.

    Review by prettyboyfloyd in course Marys River Park

    2.00 star(s) My Practice Course Uses most of the park space. Holes 2,3,6,7,8 are the best. I live in town, so I used this park when I was just starting out two years ago and was perfect for building confidence before hitting the much harder courses in the area. Whoever poured the concrete teepads had no...

    Drive adjustments after becoming stronger...

    I started doing crossfit about two months ago and I am both stronger and in better shape. I have now also went from throwing accurate decent drives to now flipping most of my discs. I know the flipping comes from strong arming and doubt that my discs all got understable on me that quick...

    Will Schusterick's Driving Tips (Video)

    I went and focused on the shoulder turn and not being upright while practicing today. Most drives were consistently straight as an arrow. Also they glided for longer than I expected. Especially the putters. Wonderful, succinct video. Probably not for beginners, but for those who know the...

    HOD 03/24/13: Kress Creek Farms in West Chicago, IL

    Is it an uphill approach at all? R-pro dart, straight up the gut, channeling Barry Schultz, hopefully.

    How long did it take you to throw far?

    About 2.5 years to crush 400+ drives. But I'd loose that in a second if it meant I was a better putter/decision maker.

    Throwing straight...

    Thanks for all the replies! So I played a casual round yesterday, hyzer flipping my putters with more snap and the ones that weren't wild traveled much farther than I would've thought. Field practice.... I second the Mako. I used to have one in my bag, but thought that I "outgrew it". I...

    Throwing straight...

    I played a round at newer 9 hole course at Takena Landing in Albany OR and walked into the small league run at noon on Thursdays. The course is mostly short tunnel type shots. I ended up playing in a group with Nate Sexton (probably the best pro disc golfer in the Pacific NW since Feldberg...

    Mental Game improves scores

    I second "Golf is not a game of perfect". I keep going back to it and I have improved and am enjoying the game much more. I came away with a couple mantras: 1. Always only play your next shot 2. Know your abilities and weaknesses 3. Don't get cute (or Don't be a hero) 4. Let the disc do the...
