Hi, everyone. I've been reading this board for a few months now and finally decided to join and post. I started playing disc golf, thanks to my brother-in-law, in April of this year. I literally had only thrown a disc a handful of time my entire life of 37 years so I was starting from scratch. I played tennis growing up so that background has served me fairly well. I truly fell in love with disc golf and have been playing once a week since I started. Also I'm fortunate to have an elementary school behind my house that has some fields to throw. I try to go there at least once a week as well to practice, practice, practice. The course I play at and the only course in my area is a short course that is tight and heavily wooded. My best round so far is a +3 which included 5 birdies (2s) but I averaged around +6 for a round the past month . I've bought several discs that I like to throw but my go to disc is the buzzz. It just goes wherever I want it to. Since I started throwing it, I have literally shaved 5 throws off my rounds. I carry 3 of them in my bag of different plastics (ESP for slight hyzer shots, Z for dead straight,and X for slight anhyzer shots). Another great disc for me is the Z Predator for forehand shots. As you can guess I max out at only around 325 with my 150g Champ Valkyrie or 150 R-Pro Boss but I only need to throw that far on 6 holes at the course I play. Most of my drives are with my buzzzes or I've started driving with my Medium Ion Putter on a few holes. Anyway, I just wanted to thank everyone here for the knowledge that I've gained from this site. This is a great site that has truly improved my game in just a few months.
