Beginner disc recommendations
Nov 5, 2025 7:29 am
You only need three discs to start: a putter, a midrange, and a slow driver. Understable discs are more forgiving for beginners.

My two cents: start simple and build from there. Dont overcomplicate it.

Forehand vs backhand
Oct 25, 2025 3:29 pm
Backhand first - it is the foundation. Add the forehand later for tricky angles. Most pros use both situationally.

This is exactly the kind of straight talk I come here for. No fluff, just help.

Finding free courses near you

Most disc golf courses are in public parks and completely free to play. The PDGA course directory lists thousands of them.

My neighbor told me the same thing last week. Must be legit.

I had the opposite experience actually. For me it was completely different.

I second this recommendation. Have been using it for months.

Reading wind on the course
Aug 11, 2025 1:29 pm
Headwind makes discs more overstable, tailwind less. Throw lower and harder into the wind. Wind is the great equalizer.

My setup is slightly different but I adapted this advice and it worked great.

I created a FAQ document based on this discussion. Happy to share if anyone wants it.

Respectfully, my mileage varied. But I can see why this works for most people.

Etiquette on the course
Jun 16, 2025 8:29 am
Quiet during others throws, let faster groups play through, and pick up your trash. Keep the courses welcoming.
