    Biggest reason people don't play tournaments

    I spent the whole year watching my son play in the tournaments. I never played one before until just about a month ago. I was able to enter my first one and had a blast. I somehow ended up on the lead card for Rec which surprised me since, most of the other tournaments I did not feel I could...

    What the hell is a one finger grip?

    I always use a one finger grip. My son uses 3 fingers which is pretty odd to me. I like the 1 finger grip for control. I have tried a 2 finger grip and it seems to go straight to the ground.

    How Fast or Slow do you Play?

    I am fast for a 390 pounder, but slow compared to other golfers. In the off season I am working on my endurance and dropping some weight by going to the gym every day. I started 3 weeks ago so, I am pretty serious about getting this goal accomplished.

    Off-season plans?

    I love this question. I have been pretty obese, I plan on going to the gym so I can build some strength and endurance for the next year. I really want to be able to enter some tournaments with my son. He was 9 for this last year and as much fun as it was to watch him play. I really want to...

    Top of Intermediate or Bottom of Advanced?

    I have been into disc golf for quite some time. Yet this is the first year I have learned about how tournaments are ran. I mainly just walk with my son this year while he was in the tournaments and I played during practice rounds. I finally entered 1 tournament which I did fairly well in...

    Finally got 3 under par

    I was getting +6. My best ever there was -3, but it was like 4 years ago. I kind of hardly went until this year. Had to relearn everything. It took all summer just to get it to a decent level. I still lost a lot in distance. I used to be able to throw 360 feet. Now my best throws are...

    Finally got 3 under par

    I mainly play the same 10 holes. I have been doing this all summer long. I had 3 under for the same 10 holes about 5 years ago, but kind of quit disc golfing after gaining soo much weight. It has been a battle, but playing these 10 holes allowed me to play the hole course this summer as...

    My 9 year old disc golfing son

    I for sure will, I even copied the post you sent I am keeping it on my desktop until next year when I buy everything. I can not wait to start filming. Plus, it will be incentive for me to stick to going to the gym all winter long.

    Pittsburgh Disc Golf

    My son played in a tournament at Deer Lakes and Knob Hill there. We had a great time with a wonderful group of people. Can't wait to do it again next year. I hope to play myself if not my son will be there.

    My 9 year old disc golfing son

    That is a great idea to try out. I will have him try both ways out in practice and let it work itself out. It has really been exciting for the family and myself. Wish I lived in a better area to play all year round. I don't know how the guys do it with all of the snow. WoW, I am blown away...

    My 9 year old disc golfing son

    I agree 100%. I can not wait to see what the future of disc golf holds. These kids are going to be amazing to watch. I don't tell my son what to throw so much, but I do a fun thing where. We will do a round completely his way. Then the next round he has to listen to me on how to throw. My...

    My 9 year old disc golfing son

    Blown away with all the responses and some really good ones they are. I will be responding to each one of them in this post. This last one I will comment on outside of the quote box. Helps me stay organized. Yes, the bag is HUGE for him and he really only uses 2 to 3 discs during a round...

    My 9 year old disc golfing son

    I did see I posted my video from last year. When he was 8, the difference this year is I have started to get Karl in to tournament. He will have played in 10 total this year. At the start he started off really shakey with having 500 rated rounds. Lately he has been getting 800 rated rounds...

    My 9 year old disc golfing son

    This is the first comment I have had on this forum in about 6 years or so. Anyway, last time I had a video of my son when he was 3. Now that he is 9 he is starting to get a lot better, but still has a long way to go. I am looking for suggestions on what I could teach him as well as how I...

    8 Year old playing a round of 10 at our local course

    Main thing that matters is getting them out there just to play. My other two are no where close to as good, but they have a blast playing. My 8 year old has also been playing since, he was 2.
