If you’re new to disc golf, one of the first things you’re going to ask is “how do I throw this thing?” Well, personally, I found that there was a ton of information out there, and a lot of it was fairly technical and all over the place. In my opinion, if you want to learn, stick to one coach that you like and don’t dilute too much. Here is my favorite “coach” in a video that teaches you all you really need to know in about 20 minutes.

The PDGA has the weekend off, well, there’s a “competing” tour starting up from GoThrow(formerly GKPro, the guys that brought and still bring skins all year)

The event is not sanctioned by the PDGA so you may see some more interesting lines that wouldn’t be taken while in a sanctioned event. They’re still playing for tour points and some sort of playoff for a winner of the GoThrow tour!

I think the competition is good for the PDGA, there are a lot of things that players would like to change. Hopefully the pressure will help get some changes.

I am curious to see if either tour can figure out how to be profitable. I don’t think the PDGA makes money, which makes me a bit nervous for the future of professional disc golf. We will see.

Almost made the image NSFW. Brutal. Normally these are guys I can compete with, not close, and they’re usually below par too, well, only up from there.

I’m in the midst of some form changes to try to get me out to 400 ft, that didn’t help, but the putt was just off. Time for more practice.

As always, go throw!

Welcome back disc enthusiasts, the pro tour is back again! Jomezpro will have 1st round coverage available sometime today. (My preferred way of watching) However, the DGPT also streams this event free of charge. You normally need a subscription.

Course is awesome. Weather is good, it’s a hard course but I expect to see some decent numbers!

Don’t forget to go throw yourselves, I’m planning on heading out tomorrow to try to break in all the plastic I got from this off season. “Break in” is also my cover for being rusty and hitting trees.

The disc golf pro tour is back this weekend! I will more than likely be posting links to it as well.

Also, I’ll be more active in the sub going forward, trying just to add content, turns out, when you live where it gets brutally cold, starting a disc golf community before the winter starts, makes creating posts difficult lol.

However, I also was able to get out this week and throw as well! I made some form changes, and just two rounds in, I know this year is going to be better than last. So I should be able to feed this some content.

Go throw!

This might be the best picture I ever get of my cat. He’s photogenic, but this is supermodel shit.

Overall, I’m very happy! Well worth the box. Can’t wait for next year’s.

Good way to support your local brick and mortar shops if you can as well! Get a hold of them, see if you can get your name on a box!

Pro tour playoffs are here, some of the best disc golf on the planet is being played over the next few weekends. Tune in at on YouTube with the Jomez crew!

Alden has created the greatest disc golf(adjacent) content I’ve seen. Never been a fan of vlogs, but these guys have incredible energy.

My favorite disc in my bag currently is the MVP Wave. 11 speed driver. Had a neutron one that got a bit flippy for me as my arm speed got faster, ordered a glow one. Money. I’ll probably get a backup!
