Fix my mental game. I've focused on form too much and keep those thoughts during my throws. My scores have gotten much worse. Time to trust my form, be decisive and focus on the target.

What about dogs off leash at course work days? Selfish dog owners being inconsiderate while they work on the course.

Should merge this with the 'Disc Dog' thread.:|

Wonder if these threads ever convince anyone to use a leash. I rarely see a dog on-leash at the course. Even if enforced, what's the fine? Maybe $50?

Mike should trade the #1 for the highest numbered tag available.

Advice I learned from a police K-9 trainer about mouthing people. Every time the puppy bites your hand, stick your finger down its throat. Uncomfortable for the dog, but you aren't going to hurt it. The "timing" of the correction is perfect and the dog will quickly connect the biting with the...

I have an almost 2yr old lab. I'd suggest sticking to a ball and never any discs. If you let the dog play with discs, you can't go half way on the training. Worst case scenario is your training sucks, so dog gets stuck at home. You say that will always use a leash. But you'll constantly...

It's worse when you allow 2 off of the first tee. Makes you feel a little dirty accepting the score.

Is there a frame in this picture that shows what you're talking about?

You're really hung up on this. Conversation has moved on.

2 off the first tee, but that's it. Will sometimes throw a 2nd shot for practice, but always play the first throw.

Sorry if this has been said (I skipped several pages). One problem with this approach is the natural progression is from higher to lower rated divisions. You're making players downgrade themselves as they get older. Many older players don't mind moving "up" to the next age bracket, but would not...

I've been playing a long time and am pretty horrible. I only play one tournament each year, but have no problem with playing Rec. I'll retire from Rec when I win and drift off into age protected divisions.

While I generally agree with your posts in this thread, seem to be a little full of yourself here. Returning discs should be easy, but it can be a huge pain with some people. For marked discs I text a picture of the disc and a picture of the location I leave it hidden. (I've also had 2...
