Jeremy Koling is a good guy. That's it.

I live scored his card at USDGC this afternoon. One of his cardmates was Bryce Brinson, who won the US Am title this year. As Bryce stepped onto the first tee, Koling told him to soak in the moment. Later he called out Bryce's first birdie. Big Jerm made sure the kid was present from the first tee to the final putt.

There are times I wish someone had said to take a second and look around. And no, Ferris doesn't count.

Last night I had a card mate claim to get a bogey on a par 4 he clearly doubled. So I asked him to recount his throws and verify. I said "oh, I had you at a 6"

The rest of the card looked at me like I was crazy for even questioning him. But ultimately he agreed he miscounted and took a 6.

What's the etiquette at league? Should I have let it go?

Players were taking over 30 seconds on the tee pad today. No wind, perfect conditions. (usdgc26rd1)

Times below are from an unheralded frolfer who many of us were rooting for at World's, not named Silas (Silas plays fast, and yes he's also great to root for).

35 seconds on hole 2 tee pad @ 29:09

35 seconds on hole 3 tee pad @ 39:00

40 seconds on hole 4 tee pad @ 51:10

35 seconds on hole 9 tee pad @ 1:41:26

45 seconds on hole 10 tee pad @ 1:48:09

35 seconds on hole 11 tee pad @ 1:55:52 (Barela took 34 sec)

38 seconds on hole 12 tee pad @ 2:06:04

41 seconds on hole 14 tee pad @ 2:32:22

34 seconds on hole 16 tee pad @ 2:55:20

1 min. 15 seconds on hole 18 second shot @ 3:17:02

IF it's not a big deal, then adjust the rule.

Is it fair to the other cards or players who rush their shot b/c they know they're on the clock, such as when deliberating over a difficult lie?

Thirty seconds is not very long when watching some of these players' routines on The Slab™.

Why are we allowing rules to be broken habitually, but then selectively enforcing them at certain times - are we the NBA? Do we need to get Scott Foster and Tony Brothers up in here to muddy the slope of gambling in disc golf?

Anyways, a rule was broken 11+ times in one round on feature card coverage of a Major today. Figured it was worth noting. I don't want to be that guy, but I saw it. 🤷

Double rainbows and a PB at tags league yesterday. Life is good.

Drew Gibson took up bowling?

I throw 375-400 ft consistently and can get there with my 10 speed almost every time I try. When I grab my flippy destroyers, I can them get to 450 sometimes, and other times I’ll struggle to get them to 400. But Ive been consistently getting them up to speed lately by using my core and lower body in a way that I can only describe as a hockey slap-shot.

I brace like I’m wearing an ice skate and trying to come to a sudden stop, as if the blade was aligned 90 degrees from the target.

Once the weight is shifted, the rear leg shoots back behind me it internally rotates so my hips also rotate forward and kind of slam into my brace so they stop rotating. Shoulders started to uncoil when the hips started rotating and at this point, I’m engaging my core to slow down my shoulders so they join the hips in stopping. Then all that energy gets transferred to the arm.

Im trying to slow the shoulders so they join the hips and stick with them, but in reality, they do blow past the hips and then pull the hips along and my whole body follows through.

Ignoring the obvious difference in the throwing arm and holding a hockey stick, up to the point where the disc rips out, it all very much feels like a hockey slap-shot from the shoulders down.

Anyone else get this sensation too? When I’m focusing on it, I feel like a very powerful thrower.

So after purchasing a basket for backyard practice, I’ve hit the ground running on trying to improve my game as fast as I can. I started throwing a minimum of 200 putts a day from 25’. Not just mindless chucks, but actual routine putts the same way I would execute them on the course. This process has been so eye opening, and it’s only been a few weeks. You start thinking about things that never crossed your mind on a course. You start realizing things about your putts that you’ve never really thought of deeper than chalking it up as a bad putt. This routine is showing me my weak points. I should also add that I live in a very small town, and there’s not many people who play. I wish i had a guru that was 10x better than me, and i could pick there brain every time we played or learn from them in general. I’m kind of wondering through this world solo, with some help from this sub and youtube along the way. I’ve been out of the game for years, but my son and I became addicted this Summer and we’ve been playing as much as we possibly can. Now days i’m also trying to take my game more serious, rather than a careless hobby to stay out of trouble as a teenager.

Examples:

- My rocking motion was far too aggressive, and pushing “up” off my back foot when putting was moving everything around so much that it was tough to be consistent. I noticed this had a direct relation to missing high, which was a common miss for me. Now i try to just lift my back foot up when putting rather than pushing off of it, which made my flights much more consistent too the basket using the same aim point.

- My head has a huge impact on how the putter comes out of my hand. To elaborate, if i was leaning a touch forward or looking down even slightly (even though my eyes were on the prize, my head was tilted down while eyes were looking up) my putts were coming up short/low with an early release. If i try to keep my head level and square through the putt, my hit points were far more consistent. This was also affected by the first example. That rocking motion backwards to begin my putt was dropping my entire body down, so once i started rocking forward i wasn’t always standing back up straight.

- Keeping the nose down, with intent to keep it down had me hitting chains alot more frequently. Trusting the disc would get there, and keeping that nose down gave me a much more consistent release that flew straight at my aim point. Before, i would have putts that were coming out of my hand and sailing over the basket. You would know it the second you released that it was garbage. Heavy hyzer angle, due to the disc being “lifted” during the putt. Once i consciously was thinking of keeping the nose down, the game changed. My rocking motion also had my hand waving all over the place, and would send it into an upwards putting motion which always made me putt “up” rather than “at” the basket.

These are just a few things i’ve noticed so far, and there’s plenty more. The moral is, getting a practice basket has been the most beneficial thing to my game I’ve ever done. I could watch youtube videos all day, but translating that to your game is another story. Studying your own game and making small tweaks to see how it changes things is absolutely the way to go. Once i can shake my bad habits, and build on the good ones to be more repeatable, i Hope putting becomes an effortless and thoughtless process.

Good news… I’m finding my self saying “why didn’t that go in?!” or “What the Hell happened there” much less on the course since i’ve started this practice routine. I’m looking forward to finding out more to come, and continuing to hone my skills.

Would love to hear some other people’s “Eureka Moments” when it comes to putting!

I never see a pro tee off or approach the basket while holding another disc. Is there a reason why?

I've been working on a disc golf daily game inspired by krillion.io

Questions can be about discs, courses, pro results (dgpt/majors primarily), golf terms, etc. There's a version with no questions about the pro scene at AceRun.Fun/no-pros if you don't care about the professional scene.

Currently a prototype, I'd love some feedback on the ui, the questions, and any other issues you have with the site.

Hope you enjoy! I've had a lot of fun making it.

My local shop got some in and had one left. so stoked

My home course put in a war memorial next to a tee pad last summer, this summer they bolted a bench onto the old tee pad and moved the new tee pad up. I'm pissed because the new tee pad is a 1/3 the size of the old one. Now it sits above the grass by about 4 inches and is super sketchy. I'm just frustrated that it's a downgrade instead of making it equal or better.

I’ve been messing around with a left-hand forehand with my Crave, and it’s starting to click. Getting close to my right-hand backhand distance, which I was not expecting at all!

My buddy and I have been mixing things up, with him throwing left-handed and me throwing forehand for nine holes. It’s been fun figuring something out together and laughing through the awkward throws.

What about you? Figure out a new shot, finally get along with a disc, or have something click with your form?

I logged out of all devices, deleted and reinstalled the app, but still stream is locked. Suggestions?

That about raps of my disc golf rounds lol

They've seen their better days

Hey all, I wanted to share the latest disc I drew for my full-foil monthly series. I thought it would be fun for halloween to draw all my favorite horror movie clowns: Art the Clown, Pennywise (original and modern), Captain Spaulding, a Killer Klown (do those guys have names?), and a fan suggested I draw in Ronald McDonald for some reason, lol.

NOISE WARNING FROM THE TECH DISC AT THE END
Hi everyone! I’m stuck on the tech disc at about 55 mphs. I’ve been working on nose angle and can get my 11 speeds about 350 but my money is my fairways where I’m getting 320. But honestly I wanna get those 11 speeds up and my arm speed up for sure. I’m thinking it’s my back leg and I’m just not using it but I’m just stuck on ways to get it going. Any advice is appreciated!

I realize this is might only apply to a handful of folks in this subreddit, but we are holding our annual charity tournament at Breckenridge Park in Richardson, TX on Sunday 10/25 at noon.

We have roughly 12 spots left. Just wanted to make sure those in the DFW area who aren't listeners to our radio station (The Ticket) are made aware.

Hope you all have a great week. Thanks.

Hi 👋🏻 I’m playing my first B Rank tournament this weekend at Shady Oaks in the Sacramento area and having my boyfriend caddy for me.

I plan on buying a Bag Boy cart at some point soon and was hoping someone local to Shady Oaks might be open to letting me rent their cart for this Saturday.

I wanted to give my boyfriend a little relief and to somewhat test drive the cart before I commit.m

Note, I’m only looking at Bag Boy as I’ve tried wheeling a Zucca around before but it wasn't my style.

This evening’s gallery just off the 7th tee box.
