Recently, after a few years of not being able to go disc golfing as much as I like, I finally got my fiance interested in playing and we go pretty often now.
It was tough, and the first time I took her out with me, a couple years ago; she was un-interested, wouldnt try it and would have no part in it. I played 2 holes with her glaring at me ready to go before we even got there. Now I finally got her to go out and give it a try, and immediately after, we were at the sporting goods store so she could get her own discs. She had caught the bug.
Now however; I am starting to see another issue and that is keeping her interested. We went out to practice driving, and she had her discs that she has used a few times. Problem is; there was a good constant headwind coming from about a 45 degree angle from the right front at us. Heck; I was only throwing 200-210' with one odd 240' throw that the wind must have let up for a split second; but she was only getting maybe 90' with her 150 leopard and shark.
Then she saw me bring home my nice new shiny disc and sounded like she wanted one. I advised against it until she could get those other ones going enough to see her actually have a throwing style, much less see what disc might do her well, but I am thinking I should have just got her one to keep that glow going. A shiny new toy always makes ya feel better.
I just done want her to get frustrated and give up, as that means less DG for me; so does anyone have any suggestions to keep her interested?
Also, it is hard for me to understand what she is up against with such a weak throw on what she needs to improve. Not that I have a big arm, because I dont; but any tips that I can give her to help her out?
It would be much appreciated.
