Have you ever lost your favorite disc? The trusty flyer you can always count on? Only to be disappointed that you can never seem to find a suitable replacement for it? If so, you’re not alone. Like many serious disc golfers as yourself, you’re likely bagging 20 or more discs, with most having a top five, and beyond that, some that are even more special, one or two discs that feel like an extension of their arm. Losing those discs to water hazards, rough terrain, or just wear

A few years ago now, I had the incredible chance to learn from two of the top pros in the sport today, Gannon Buhr, and Ricky Wysocki. During the event, Ricky Wysocki gave a seminar on putting, and it was nothing short of amazing! He gave his tips on ways to make your putting game better, and then asked for volunteers to demonstrate their putting routine for him to give feedback. Over the course of the weekend, the information they provided was invaluable and immediately allo

Are you playing with too many discs? Many new disc golfers start with just a few different discs, often a putter, a mid-range, and some type of driver. Usually, they pick these without fully understanding why or how each disc fits their game, unless they’re lucky enough to have a solid mentor helping them along the way. As players get hooked on the sport, they tend to collect more discs, filling backpacks and bags with a variety of molds. But is having a large collection real

Most people set big goals, but then never break those goals down into something more manageable. Saying “I want to reach a 1000 rating” sounds good, but it leaves you guessing about what that really means or how to get there. The key to success lies in breaking that big, ambitious goal into smaller, clear steps that you can track and improve over time. This post explains why setting a big “telescope” goal is important, but how breaking it down into long-term and short-term “m

Have you ever been playing a crucial hole in a big event coming down to the wire, and instead of being laser focused, your mind is wandering? Worrying about the outcome, dwelling on earlier mistakes, missed putts, errant lines, they all come flooding in and influence your current situation. If you’re like most amateur players, you’ve likely experienced this situation before. While elite players aren’t immune to these thoughts from creeping in, the best certainly have a knack

Consistency is all about routines. Short routines, long routines, it doesn’t matter, they all play a role in how well you play and how consistently you perform on the disc golf course. The problem is many players don’t have routines at all. Some have routines but don’t use them regularly. Others stick to routines that don’t evolve with their game. To become a consistent athlete and disc golfer, you need to build and maintain several key routines. Let’s explore the essential r

Do you feel that you have hit a plateau with your disc golf game? I understand, feeling stuck in your progress can be frustrating. You practice and play rounds regularly, yet your skills seem to stay the same. This plateau is common among athletes, but it doesn’t always have to be. Understanding why you may have hit a plateau and knowing what to do next can help you push past it and improve your game. Let’s explore the key reasons why players stall and practical steps to help

Disc golf may seem like a laid-back sport, but it demands a lot from your body. Anybody who plays regularly knows this. The twisting, the throwing, and the forceful footwork all put stress on yours muscles and joints (and sometimes your brain, ha!). Sometimes this stress causes sudden injuries, and other times it builds up slowly into chronic problems like tendinitis. Regardless, if you want to stay healthy and improve your game, playing every day without breaks is not the an

There is no circumstance that prevents you from improving your game. Whether you live next to a disc golf course or miles away from one, whether you own a full set of discs and a high-end bag or just a couple of discs and no bag or basket, your ability to get better depends mostly on your mindset and effort. Many players miss out on growth because they wait for ideal conditions, the perfect equipment, nearby courses, or fancy gear. The truth is, the one skill that truly drive

When things aren’t going your way, or the unexpected happens, are you able to reset? I’m not talking mulligans, restarting your round, or completely giving and checking out, I’m talking a full on reset and refocusing of your mental game. Many athletes, not just disc golfers, face this challenge. Some can unbelievably keep their emotions in check, while others find themselves overwhelmed, letting frustration or anxiety snowball into bigger problems. If you struggle with this,

Are you using your warmup as an opportunity to improve your game? Many players recognize the importance of warming up to prevent injuries. But for most of those same players, a warmup routine is simply just a quick way to shake off the rust from the drive in. And that is if they warm up at all. Some may take a few practice putts and declare themselves ready to play, but others simply show up “ready to play”. But warming up can and should be more than a brief ritual to get mis

If you’re throwing for the basket every throw, you’re adding strokes to your round. Many disc golf players are taught to always aim directly at the basket. While this might seem like the most straightforward approach, and works well for beginners, the best players think differently. They plan their shots by targeting landing zones instead of the basket itself. This strategy helps them control the game, reduce errors, and create more scoring opportunities. Landing zones are ju
