Your releases look so clean, @cipher. Wowee. Nice job.

Makes me really want to go out and play again.

Thank you very much.  I thought I might get my first ace on #1 there for a second.  It was hard to see, but the anhyzer on #2 was a cool line and result.  For some reason my main struggle on this day was just releasing the disc a bit too high.  It still ended up as a nice round though.

I did a fair amount of putter work and a little throwing motion work over the winter.  The DG game seems to be improving.

I particularly liked the clean release on that long putter throw that tickled the chains.

Forehand still sucks, though. :-D*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* And is way better than mine.

Yeah I am still really bad with the forehand shots.  Just can't get the disc to release cleanly.

My favorite shot was the silky smooth backhand turnover line on #12. ;-)

This is a little course I created on our hunting land about a week ago.  Just three baskets but three six tee positions that play very fun and pretty tough.  I eventually want to try and find a way to make the par 2 longer and into a par three.  We need to do some more clearing of trees and brush.  

First the flyover:

 

First round played:

Another round after some additional clearing later that day:

Not anymore!  ;-)

As promised here is a recent disc golf round.  I am a bit rusty and my form is off, but shooting under par on a course this tough is not easy.  Sorry for the weird noises in the video, tried to cover it with some music, but I think my audio is corrupted.

This is a course I used to play quite a bit but haven't this year due to some construction in the park.  I think there is only currently about 17 holes that are playable including some temp holes that are actually pretty enjoyable.

    • Day 232 4-8 Rotation work tonight. Used just a mirror for the most part. Recorded a few swings just to see where I am.   
    • Day 31 (8 Apr 26) - Worked with a coupe of kids on the school golf team on the range - then joined them for a few holes of practice play.  
    • I’m sure you know his practice schedule 🤣 also, he had a wrist injury recently. 
    • I’m going to go out on a limb and say that maybe if Jason spent less time on his clothes and more on golf he would win more.
    • So, my league starts next week, and I have a golf trip in two weeks. I am thinking no matter what I do, I will have to do my left leg and downswing turning piece. At least this turning piece helps me negate shanking the shot.  I probably shanked the foam ball about 10x in a row yesterday. Given, I was doing downswing work with not much caring about the body rotation. I was struggling to feel the same thing from two days ago. Where I was able to feel the arm piece and the turning piece working together. Yesterday, my body turn was just destroying my arms down piece.  That said, it’s not like I have a great feel for where the club is in space. Especially with how fast the downswing is. If I do the arms downswing piece with the turn piece better. I just feel those two things. Then after I am going into the finish I am like, "Oh, that was center of the clubface". I am glad the clubface found the ball. Maybe that is normal when you are trying to fix your mechanics. You are so hyper focused on the hitting the swing feel that the feel for the club is just gone.  I’ve watched YouTube videos where they talk about how correct lower-body mechanics give you the feeling of having tons of time in the downswing. I’m like, BS! there is no time. If anything, it feels faster now. 🤣 I do notice that the clubface stays more open past impact, less flippy. Not like I am trying to do that. Actually, with the downswing arm piece, I am trying to feel like I am rolling my wrist (closing the club a bit more).
