After throwing a few holes last night, I didn't have the soreness in my pec area that I had the previous time so I think I am using more body and less arm to throw. It felt a little more comfortable yesterday and the throws weren't too bad. Regarding the mention of the "chicken wing throw"...

Yea, playing last week, I felt like I had never thrown a disc before. I think I was trying to get similar distance as last year, but with no run-up. I think I am going to go back today and just realize that it is going to take me more throws to get to the pin so that I can slow down more and...

That's what I'm looking forward too. There is still snow on the ground, but it is getting warmer out and I am going to play my first round of the year today. I am planning on playing a round of 9 holes with no run, just a standing throw. It is a super short course with most holes easy 2's...

Thanks guys. Hopefully, I can do some of the drills inside to get ready and start throwing again once it gets a little warmer outside.

I started playing disc golf last July. I loved the sport and started playing several times a week. I learned some control and was working on my technique based on what felt good. I hit a plateau at a pitiful 275 to 290 or so feet. I think my biggest problem is not having my front foot...

Exactly! If you guys looked for an hour, you could have looked for two. If I didn't actually find the disc and gave up on it, I would be admitting that I would never see it again. Getting a call to get it offered back would just be a courtesy. Getting lost in brush or woods is one thing, but...

I am kind of 50/50 on this subject. While I know it is nice to get a call from someone offering your disc back, it isn't easy to dive into water to get your disc back. Losing it in the fairway or brush is one thing, but water is another. My thoughts are that if an inked disc is found in...

I played a super short course 9 hole twice over the past two days using just my Star Valk, Roc, and Aviar. I am playing my favorite course tonight after work which is a normal 18 that is somewhat difficult. I plan on using just those three disks so I'll see how I do. I'll have to see about...

3.50 star(s) Not for Noobs - Makes you chose your shots carefully - Very challenging for better players - Nice restroom facilities and places to fill your water bottles - Good use of elevation - Very confusing hole layout - Grass was pretty long when I was there - Lots of places to lose discs - Some...

3.50 star(s) Short Course - Maintained very well - Really nice baskets - Large tee pads - Great use of trees - Great "confidence builder" course (I got my first two birdies ever here) - Plays really fast - Super short holes - No signs at tees for hole number or yardage - One basket is pretty close to...

Wow, thanks for the GREAT reply. You gave a very enlightening response and one that I will follow. I knew I had too many discs in my bag that would make me fall into bad habits of using the disc's characteristics instead of learning to control it like I should. Having the extra discs in my...

I am fairly new so I have been enjoying trying a bunch of new discs. Usually, I throw multiple discs while playing a hole(always using my first disc for score though). I am learning how the flight characteristics are different between discs, but want to start tuning my bag a bit. As I said...

4.50 star(s) Great Course - Great scenery - Lots of trees for challenging shots - Elevation changes - Practice baskets for warming up before a round - Pro and amature tees - Two basket positions on most holes - Some low hanging branches - Lots of people on weekends - Kids running around at parks that like to...

3.00 star(s) Fun Little Course - Fairly wide open course - Good scenery with a covered bridge and creek running through - Not many trees to get in the way - Concrete pads are nice - No signs on some of the holes - Current signs looking pretty weathered - Some holes run a little close to baseball/softball...

Saturday, I was golfing with 5 other guys and we threw on a long downhill. Several of us had thrown when a group came walking and reached down to grab one of the disks we had thrown. We started yelling that it was one of our disks and the girl had an attitude and said that it was her disk...
