Being angry at the world seems like a lot of work and I don't wanna have to work during my disc golf rounds. I think I'm too fundamentally lazy to be as the OP suggests.

ok, exhibit a: Michael Johansen.
How many world championships has he won?
zero
That's at least 3 times as many as you.
That is like saying one time you had a psychic girlfriend, but she knew in the end it wouldn't work out, so you never met.
I think the point here was, MJ's approach is at least as successful as yours.
I don't see why a person can't focus and have fun at the same time. I'll joke all round long until it is time to take my shot, then I go into my routine and focus and then throw the shot. Then it's back to joking around. If a person has to be super focused the whole round to play well they should probably work on their mental game and learn how to switch between focusing and relaxing. There is a lot of downtime in DG where you are standing around and it seems like it would be really unenjoyable to try and stay focused during all that standing around.
I agree with this mentality. I would argue that you are better prepared for the unexpected if you are able to jump into your game as opposed to laser focus the entire time. When I'm playing "fun rounds" I'm still practicing. I intentionally don't wave people off behind the basket or wait for the car to get out of sight because you never know what will happen in tourney play.I don't see why a person can't focus and have fun at the same time.

Has the OP ever even competed in a disc golf tournament? I did a little looking and I can't find any record of him doing so. He doesn't have a PDGA number.
There is a huge difference between mental attitude and talent, and you are all missing that point.
If my average drive on a long, wide open course is 300', and yours is 450', then it is not because of your mental attitude that you would win most rounds. But the mental attitude to clamp own on every shot, to play the course to your full potential, and cut out every inch possible to compete, while the other guy has the Beaky Buzzard mentality, then is goofing off, seeing how far he can throw his Pig with a heavy backwind, and you beat this person, then that is a mental attitude win. If you force a person with more talent have to buckle down and focus to beat you, then you are doing it right. Then you should wipe the floor with people of equal talent.
But this whole, the OP means be a jerk, we all need to chill out on Bob Marley Tea crap is exactly why you guys lose to people of equal talent than you.
