Hip-hop is older than most old farts.
Not me, but my first hip-hop record was a Run DMC EP with Rockbox and My Adidas.
Which, uh, sounds pretty old now . . .

Im younger than hip-hop.....yes!Hip-hop is older than most old farts.
I remember when my dad turned 40, my grandpa made up signs and drove us kids down so we could be as embarrassing as possible. We picketed the liquor store where he worked part time when construction was slow.Sup Bitches. I'm here to stay.
I do 90 % of my throwing at a local park that's maybe 3 acres and has 3 baskets. Mature trees around the edge with a walkway make it interesting. I'm good at missing the people, mostly, but not so much with the trees. I play practice rounds the week before a tournament, but not much more. Seems to be working.Most of my disc golf is played on my property lol. 2 1/4 acres and two baskets ( so far ) and no need to kick anyone off my lawn lol
Yah, right....hip hop sampled from songs we rocked the Courses with back in the day...so hip hop is still the youngster on the block to us Methuselahs....Hip-hop is older than most old farts.
As a 55 year old, wondering, what age are you that this is happening? I have been playing one year, so still improving, but I know that won't last forever.Time to accept my new reality. My distance drivers barely, and I do mean barely, go further than my 7 speeds. My game is now about upshots, putting and playing for par. I'll hang on to a couple of distance drivers for windy days, but I just traded in 3 and acquired a new mid.
I'm not aging well so you shouldn't be concerned with how well I am doing at 63. Arthritis is robbing me of speed, strength and flexibility even though I am otherwise fit. I play with people 10 and 15 years older than myself who can still out perform me, and have greater endurance. Hopefully, you'll age as well as they have.As a 55 year old, wondering, what age are you that this is happening? I have been playing one year, so still improving, but I know that won't last forever.
Props to you! At 67, I find myself in a similar mindset.Time to accept my new reality. My distance drivers barely, and I do mean barely, go further than my 7 speeds.

Wonderful sentiment. I hear good things about yoga.I'm not aging well so you shouldn't be concerned with how well I am doing at 63.

I am 55 years old, playing one year this month, and so far max out distance about 250-275', with maybe a very rare one longer than that, that was probably slightly grip locked and went too far right. I like about 150 gram Katanas and 150 gram Terns as my best 'easy distance' discs. I do have two VIP King Airs that go far, but too under stable and hard to control. I usually bag 1 of my 3 Fission Waves for a little less distance. A little less still, and I like the Valkyrie, and that is the disc where I can start to go up to heavier weights and still find the disc flies decent for me.I'll continue to carry a Clash Wild Honey, Westside King and a Grace for those times when the winds are favorable, or I'm feeling better than usual. I'm on the hunt for a go to fh fairway driver that will fly far for me.
I am 55 and playing 1 year. My experience was, when I was maybe throwing legit 5-7 speed, my best distance bomber was 139 gram Terns (12 speed), at about 225'. Now I am throwing maybe 8-9 speed legit, and my best distance bombers are 150 gram Katanas and 150 gram Terns, at 250' consistent, 275' real good, and a rare hard throw off target right might go further. The 125-130 gram stuff was always too flippy and inconsistent for me. The lighter weight distance drivers are rough in the wind, and are more touchy - they require more accurate releases - finesse.I occasionally play with an octagenarian. He throws understable 130g drivers and breaks 300' regularly. I don't know how he does it. The disc moves so slow it would block traffic in a school zone, but it just hovers straight down the middle. I've tried lightweight drivers, but I haven't seen any distance advantage. I'm getting my best drives with Mauls and Underworlds when throwing bh, but my fh requires something with more hss. My first thoughts are a Discmania FD, Discraft Athena, Innova Hawkeye or an Orbit Ice River. I've thrown an Explorer, and it's a great control driver but unremarkable when thrown for distance.
FTFMI think loss of grip strength as you age is one factor related to loss of distance in general and loss due to fatigue after playing more than one round in a day tournament style. Here's an article on strengthening your grip with exercises to do while watching post-pro. https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/01/health/grip-strength-key-longevity-wellness/index.html
