Showing up to a tournament and trying to shake off rust on hole one is a plan. It’s just not a good one. The first few holes of a competitive round are when most recreational tournament players give strokes away…

Wind is the part of disc golf that separates players most reliably. Two people with identical form and identical discs can stand on the same tee pad and get completely different results if one of them understands what the wind…
