Just Throw – Away from home

We’re back from a long hiatus with a new episode of Just Throw! We’re on vacation in South Carolina where the weather has been warm with occasional rain. The audio quality isn’t as good as usual due to our remote location but it turned out ok. On this episode we discuss some new disc releases, a preview of our bag for 2019 including new putters we’re using, and a rundown of our vacation bags. What is a vacation bag? When traveling with the family it’s nice to carry a smaller bag for cargo space reasons. On top of that, we choose discs that we’re willing to leave behind if necessary. For instance, if a diamond back or rattlesnake is near my vacation disc I’m going to just move along. Shout out to: The Disc Golf Podcast – Joe and Robin discuss the latest in the PDGA, new discs, and review a disc and a beer. One of our favorite disc golf podcasts! Animal Mind Podcast – The former hosts of the Zen Disc Golf Podcast, podfather Pat McCormick and Zach Engelhart, discuss “how we can use our primal natures to develop a mind-body connection and find peace in our contemporary lives.” Check it out! We’ve resubmitted the podcast to iTunes and Google Play. When accepted, we will post details here on the blog. The post Just Throw – Away from home appeared first on Disc Golf Puttheads.

Just Throw – Episode 3 – Casual

Episode three is ready for your ears. We talk about our experience planning a casual disc golf event, not a tournament. Episode Theme: Casual Episode Length: 01:07:39 Download Subscribe on iTunes Introduction We are competitive, but not all of our friends appreciate the fine arts of tournament play and playing to win. Some of our friends just want to hang out and have some fun. Life application: know your audience Communicate on terms that the audience understands What if you don’t know your audience? What is Natalfest/Disception Started as a birthday gathering Intention is to get some friends together and have some casual fun 18 holes on your own 18 holes with your doubles partner, chosen by singles placement Overall winner is best total score and gets to sign/care for the trophy What have we learned? Advertise earlier Expect people to drop – schedules change Cost Figure $5 per person for food Leaves $15 for discs and prizes (spoiler alert, this isn’t enough and you should either charge more or reduce to 1 disc per person) Discraft misprint boxes are fun Reduced disc rounds are fun Trilogy Challenge Dynamic Discs Two Disc Challenge Learning the discs is easier when you only have two for a given round Strategy for choosing your discs Consider course layout Mid and driver, no putter? Drivers only? Will your desired disc be available at your “draft” position?

Just Throw – Episode 2 – Lines

Here we go with episode 2! Let’s talk about lines, it’ll be tons of pun. Episode Theme: Lines Episode Length: 52:30 Download Subscribe on iTunes Introduction Ever introduce a friend to disc golf? How do you tell them all of the shots that you can throw with a disc? The word line is very ambiguous and has a lot of idioms Lines in life The paths we take in life can be similar to the lines we take in disc golf The safe path is similar to working hard over a long period of time High risk/High reward lines are similar to shortcutting the hard work Flashy hyzer bomb lines to show off are like driving expensive cars or wearing designer clothes We all likely bounce between these different extremes How do you choose your lines? Just wing it? Is your disc golf game inconsistent? Do you treat every situation in life as an isolated event? Choose a strategy and hold to that your entire round and most of your life? Do you evaluate at each step along the way? Go with what’s been working that round? Do you care what other people think of the lines you choose? Are you ok with other people watching you lay up, or do you want to impress people? Chris and Rodney share some personal stories Disc flight lines How do you strategize for a round? Do you choose lines on the fly or plan ahead of time? Does the weather or your mood change your strategy? Do you play the hole backwards? Do you get stuck playing the same lines at your home course? Sometimes a local can show you new routes Sometimes a visitor provides a fresh perspective Do the lines change as the seasons change? Manufacturer lines Are there advantages to throwing just one brand? Familiarity with plastic Consistent feel Less overlap Flight ratings Product Reviews Discraft Thrasher Sportsack Country Disc Golf’s Review of the Sportsack Be sure to check out Zen and the Art of Disc Golf by Patrick McCormick Please use the comment form below, Facebook, or Twitter to give us some feedback on this episode.
