You're right DeLa is awesome for disc golfers. In our travels we have not found many beginner courses that get people into the sport. I'm working on a video to address this and get a list of 5-star beginner courses

A jump putt definitely works here. I find that if I jump putt, my brain thinks I should try and get it in the basket. This often leaves me with a long putt (over 25'). The throw in this video tells my brain that we are laying up and making an easy putt. Which is a great confidence builder during a round.

Thanks Nick. Sounds like a great practice routine!

When I say "head down", I'm trying not to look at the target too early during the throw

It was pretty nice. Hope you guys are well

Blue Lake rough was brutal. I tried to play most shots in the fairway that was visible but I got lucky to not lose a disc there. Hole 10 was interesting. The hardest part was the tight green. Playing it blind I just tried to stay in the fairway and not go for the green. I don't quite have the distance for a forehand there. If I played it again, I would probably throw a backhand that turns left to right and try and land it to the left of the basket. Unless I land within 25', I'm probably laying up for the 3.

​​@@roamingrangediscgolf Thanks for the response, now that I'm thinking about it I really meant to ask you about hole number 11 the next hole. To me that would be on especially difficult one to play blind. That one and 17 are way less than obviously the first time you experience them. Regarding hole number 10, I served as a spotter on that hole the last year that the Portland open was played, partially, at Blue Lake. That was fun. I still remember a shot that Ohn Scoggins threw, probably her destroyer on a flex forehand. At first it looked like it was going to go out of bounds into some thick stuff on the players left and just as I started to kind of move in that direction so that I could see where it landed, the stability kicked in and it turned right toward me. I was able to dodge it and it landed into a very good position in the fairway. She really wanted to run the putt but, for reasons that you know, she reluctantly laid up with a big Ohm smile and a shoulder shrug.

Thanks Wes! It was on that day

Grand Junction Colorado sports some amazing views of the mountains. Definitely worth a stop if you are ever traveling through.

That was the first time I heard the part about flicking the target. It really does work!

I've been practicing this putting style and for me, the fingers are just guiding and extending to the basket. When I try and pull on the rim I miss the target to the left or the right. What I'm finding is that a good clean release putts nice spin on the disc which keeps it on target.

@@johnpincombe6720 wish I could’ve played that while we were there

@roamingrangediscgolf cool, I've have enjoyed your videos and will look forward to new ones.

@@justinbutler8418 thanks man. Sure was a fun course!

@@CharlesJWillard he’s the best

Well it worked out for the disc golf world. Great courses. Thanks for the tip on Timber, I’ll have to check it out next time I visit

I had heard the same. It definitely looks like it was or could have been a ball golf course. I heard that when the state parks department took over, there was a park ranger who played and figured they had the fairways already cut, they might as well put tee pads and baskets in. I love playing through the old growth forest next the the river like that.

Glad someone saved me all the typing, I’m also a local and came to say the same thing.

Thanks 👍

Couldn't agree more!

Very tough course

Thanks for sharing! It's awesome that you're getting out to practice - that's the best way to improve! With consistent reps, you might be surprised how much smoother and more confident your forehand throw can get. Focus on a clean release and controlled form rather than power. Let me know how it goes!

Wren from Stokely Discs. They are so good! I like them in the Strato plastic and I'll be switching my putters to these very soon. Do you have a pro shop near you that carries them? @ScottStokelyDG

It's coming together. More good things to come!

Dallas did a great job teaching!

Great courses! Nice to meet you guys

We should do a video on that signature shot!

I wish I knew that was the top of the world shot... the rain was coming down that day so I just played what I could. Thanks for the tip on Shelton Springs

That is awesome! The baskets were great!

Thank you!

So cool to play a dedicated disc golf course. And didn’t require too much distance so it caters to most players skill level

The courses I've played so far are really fun

It really is!

True. I used to throw 250 and I still think this drill helps you know where you stand on 300' holes. I used to bogey these holes going for those 50 footers only to three putt. Now I know better. Take my 3 and move on.

@ my problem is since I can’t birdie these holes, when I eventually take a bogey which will happen, I can never get that stroke back

Couldn't agree more!

I agree. Practice in the wind is not fun but it helps when it counts.

Thanks!

It helps simplify the hole. Glad you liked it

Yeah man!

It was more of just a benchmark comparison. I know how a new Roc flies, so I wanted to compare. I have many Rocs with different beat in levels and they fly more like the Sveas. I love the Kastaplast feel off of the shelf!

Thanks man!

Great course! I've been playing some leagues here in the area and they are awesome

@@roamingrangediscgolf They are good for strengthening your game.

@@StuG-pr9tf I do find myself setting up my own practice shots at the park. Sometimes I prefer this over a 18 hole round
