When I started I threw on a soccer field for weeks before even hitting a course. In my first few months 91.52% of my throwing was in the field. All I practiced was throwing flat and straight with my Discraft Putt'r and Buzzz.
This guy gets it. You will gain confidence and accuracy much faster in a wide open field when you can see the entire flight of a disc. The small changes are so hard to see when you are on the course.
I am new as well (less than 6 months) but am improving every day. Practice is the reason. I try to practice either field throwing or putting two or three times a week and play once, twice if I can. I'm lucky enough to have a small park area close to my house and I found a practice basket at a reasonable price. Also lucky enough to have free time to be able to devote to disc golf. However, even if you don't have much time, you should still devote some of it to practice. From personal experience, it's more important for improvement, at least at my stage of development, than actual playing. Just my two cents. Good luck!
