Gap Analysis: The science and art of navigating trees in disc golf
Many playing companions over the years have heard me mutter “I see holes” out loud at some point in my pre-shot routine during a round of disc golf. It’s a ‘go-to’ phrase of mine, and has been for probably 15 … Continue reading

The ‘Ground-Up’ Approach to Saving Strokes- Part 2
The disc golf courses where I live have plenty of variety, but one thing they don’t have, for the most part, is the kind of thick, lush grass found in manicured city or county parks. Whenever I travel to those … Continue reading
Building blocks of basic backhand technique
Disc golf is still enough of a niche sport that by the time most of us are ensnared (like a putter caught in the inner chains of a Mach III) by an obsession to get better, we’ve already been heavily … Continue reading
Some disc golf tips have nothing to do with playing better
After a couple decades playing disc golf, DeLaBlagh has confirmed a few basic tenets related to the duller – as opposed to the finer – points of the game. These observations have nothing to do with playing the game, or … Continue reading
Mind control in disc golf- first step: thinking about what you’re thinking about

Diarrhea of the Arm: When extra shots hurt rather than help
Have you heard the term ‘diarrhea of the mouth’? It’s when someone can’t seem to prevent words from pouring out of their mouth (basically he/she can’t stop talking, whether from nervousness or a genetic flaw passed down through generations), usually … Continue reading
How to practice follow-through when putting
One of the most important aspects of proper disc golf putting form also happens to be counter-intuitive to the way people usually first learn to throw a flying disc. I’m talking follow-through, which in a classic putting motion means thrusting … Continue reading
A time to drill it
I used to over-simplify my approach to putting tempo, using the logic that the disc should have just enough on it to run out of gas and fall into the chains with just enough power left to slip into the … Continue reading
Don’t count chickens (before they hatch)!
Played Black Mouse yesterday, and I got off to a nice start. Birdied 1, 2, 3, and 4. To my credit, I didn’t once entertain the possibility of shooting -18. But I did think that double digits was a given, … Continue reading
