Need to better my game!

Postby ZRab » Thu Jul 31, 2008 10:31 am

Hey everyone I just started playin disc golf like 4 months ago and have picked it up pretty fast. but i fell like i have hit a plataue and i think its b/c i play with the same people over and over and so i don't get better. I have a group of 5 or so friends that play and besides my 1st month of playing with them i beat them everytime i go out . so inside i fell good but i no its not helping me improve. I just recently went out to a field(someone suggested it) and threw my discs for over and hour. I played the next day and shot the best score of my life -2. But i have played 6 or 7 times since then and have been getting +5 and +8 and have become discouraged. I get online and watch videos or pros and stuff that is supposed to help the mechanics of your throw and things like that. But by saying all that what i am trying to get to is i would love for someone experienced and someone who can tell me what i am doing wrong to come play 18 with me. I think it would help my game tremendeously b/c with me being new i have no idea what i am doing wrong. I haven't been out to any of the leagues b/c it conflicts with work. but i would love any help i can get and i take corrective critism quite well! So if any one would like to spend a few hours playing and teaching me i would appreciate it soo much.

ZRab: You are better than me, so I can't help you! :D

But, I will say I think it is a great idea to try to play with the experienced guys. I have been fortunate to play with some of the best at McCulloch and it has definitely helped me to improve.

Also... be patient with yourself. For only playing 4 months you are a prodigy, Bro. I don't think Marc and Brett and Sean and some of these other guys got to the level they are at in only 4 months. They have all been playing for many years. They can correct me if I am wrong. Don't forget to have fun!

I think Marc needs to hold a putting clinic.... not that the rest of his game isn't great but I know that's my biggest weakness and Marc is awesome.
