A few simple moves can help you throw your disc with far greater distance and accuracy. But you can’t really improve your skills by simply reading a blog; review these notes, then get outside as soon as you can and try to put them into action.
What’s great about disc golf? Everything! It’s fun, it’s easy to learn, and it’s a sport you can play outdoors during any season of the year, even the winter. But you also need some others who are as excited about the game as you are.
