At Least One Good Thing About Winter Golf

It’s been cold with a little snow, but totally playable so far!

I’ll be honest.  Winter is not one of my favorite times of year.  I’ll go sledding with my niece a couple of times, go skiing a few times, and find a way to enjoy a couple of other snowy days.  Otherwise, I’d rather just skip to spring.  This time of year, I am constantly on the look out for things to like about the weather.  If I…

Disc Golf Clinics Don’t Make You Better at Disc Golf

10 Pieces of Disc Golf Advice I Wish I Had Listened To

One of life’s cruel tricks is that the tools and perspective you need to make the most of life often don’t come to you until well after you need them.  How many times have we said things like…  “If I could go back to high school knowing what I know now.” or “If I could go back to college knowing what I know now.” or “I wish I could go back and date that person again knowing what I know now.”  It…

Building a Disc Golf Home Gym, Body Weight Training

  The primary function of all of your muscles is movement.  You, as a human being, were designed to move.  You were designed to self propel from point A to point B.  You were designed to stand and run and push and pull and otherwise get around a disc golf course on your own.

Since this is the primary function of muscles, that should also be the primary function of training those muscles.…

It’s Official – Lizotte’s New World Records

Stealing a Training Technique From Boxers to Improve Distance

Pretty regularly, when I talk to people about my disc golf home gym, people automatically assume that I’m equating muscle size to disc golf skill.  Someone always wants to chime in with, “I’m skinny as heck and I can throw 500 feet!”.  That’s usually someone on line so there’s a 95% chance they can’t break 300′, but the comment is a consistent and repeated one.

Aside from being a lazy person’s…

8 Keys to Better Glow Rounds

In our last post, we made the recommendation that to play more disc golf while the days are getting shorter, you should try out some glow rounds.  First of all, we are not recommending you play on courses that don’t allow you out there after dark.  There’s a lot of reasons you should stay off the course when it’s officially closed.  If you want to go out and try some glow, reach out to your…

7 Ways to Play More Disc Golf

I am not looking forward to November 2.  Not at all.  What’s special about November 2, you might ask?  In my mind, that’s the real end of summer.  It’s been fall on the calendar for almost a month now, but on November 2, we go from long, beautiful days spent outside to living in a cave.

November 2 is when we change our clocks.  It’s the official day that we give in to the fact that the days are…
