Paul what can I do if i dont have much time to play to help my game...im a teacher so my summers are free, and I get pretty decent towards the end of July, but i hate seeing my game regress...any drills or something to help a busy brotha out?

i honestly try to "watch" myself in a third person perspective. if i go out and put and something is off i try to play it over in my head and see what is different. thats if you can play, if you can play try playing holes and looking for every shot possible on that hole even if some are dumb as long as your working on all your shot types you game will increase not just on your rounds but it will allow you to scramble more on off days. thats just something other than just scoring rounds.

 

[dmbrun2]

Never thought off that...and will def. try this

 

[Ripper]

Not in a million years would I go for that in a tournament.

That was brass, no doubt!

Is Nikko rocking some UPS stamped Brown Socks! LOL :thmbup:

No Pittsburgh Flying disc open this year? That sucks!

I'm leaning more on spectating this year at the BHMO so maybe i'll get to see you tear the course up! You are absolutely right about Final 9 vs Final Round for ams trying to play!

I get my practice on the course too. What's more valuable to you- field work or course practice?

Hey Bud,
I used to have trouble missing right as well. I learned from an interview with Dave Greenwell to make the basket disappear behind my hand and arm when I released the disc. To focus on my arm always pointing straight at the basket. I was used to trying to hyzer the disc in but My arm was drifting right on release and it was really frustrating. When I started it felt awkward but my putts were going in or hitting the band on top. Once I had the right and left thing under control the height came easier. Good luck and if you already have it solved then I guess disregard this. Take it easy!

 

[davidbihl]

I'm having some putting issues and wondering if you can give me some general advice... Playing 2 years...seem to be close to going pro except for putting issues...solid from inside 20 but don't seem to get enough power from 25 to 40...thought about slowing down the putt to use more legs but missing right every time now...I'm lost now

Thanks,
CJ

nope but ill be there for worlds.

Focused practice is the best practice. if you putt in 50% you better expect 50%
All practice is good

4 States Open

I know your schedule is pretty set this year... I've been telling all the pros to look into the 4 States Open in Joplin, MO in late September... before USDGC. It was a B-Tier last year and Ron Convers netted over $1300 which is more than many A-Tiers. This year it'll be an A-Tier! I expect even more cash added than ever. It's been Ron's private cash cow lately as a 3-time defending champ. If you can't make it by on your way from Oregon to South Carolina this year, check it out in 2014.

i dont thinkwe will be making that drive but we can put it in our 2014 plans

 

[Organicvoodoo]

What is you and your g/f's best double round?

 

[greenday]

I keep reading that driving practice should be done in a field and not in a disc golf course. Why is that? Wouldn't it make sense to practice where you play?
