I am 54 years old, playing 3 months, and average mostly 175-200 feet. I mostly play at least 2-3 times a week, and I/we usually throw two discs each throw, playing the best one. Figured for now that gets us more practice for each time walking the course, and helps avoid the frustration of the few really bad throws ruining our round. Did play a normal round first to get a base score to compare to later and measure improvement. I actually like field work - usually do it 2-3 times a week, and if my shoulder feels sore at all, then I just do back yard putting with my MVP Black Hole Pro instead. Shoulder only bothers me if/when my field work turns into throwing hundreds of drives in one session - I have 40 discs, and will often throw a large number of them (drives) many times in a row until I start to get sore. Throwing 20-40 discs ten times in a row or more pretty normal for me, but I am trying to cut back a little so I don't hurt myself - mix it up with more putting, and plan to mix in some mid range work, too. Just, the desire for more distance pushes me to want to keep practicing drives. I am semi-retired, so I have time for my addiction - time to play, practice, shop for discs, and study online, too. Lol. Bigger issue than having time is the frequent Florida rain, and often really hot in the middle of the day. I wanted to do field work tonight, or at least practice putting, but it has been pouring rain all evening. Scheduled to play with 1-2 guys at 10am tomorrow, but that may get rained out too - showing 30-40% rain as of now. Weather - ugh!!!
