not anymore. many of the new courses going in have par 4's and 5's.

[mikelacine]

boo for that... the places i go, we assume all are par 3's even if it says otherwise... keeps it interesting.

[jaylewisstl]

I'm guessing the courses you play have the old DGA signs that designate 200-ft holes as par 4's. I agree that is ridiculous, but if you look at PDGA's website, there are very clear guidelines as to what constitutes par 4's and 5's. Do you really think a 1100-ft hole, for instance, should be a par 3?

thanks for the feedback. it was alone with a tripod. i'm a hack disc golfer in st. louis and plan on using that graphic and a couple others to put together some tournament dvds in coming months. i'm filming one in illinois this weekend, but it'll probably be a week or two before i get any footage up. this clip was actually so i could show some local pros my form in slow-motion and get some tips on how to throw better.

I loved the way the chains sounded in slo-mo.

As a new player to the game I found the slow mo very helpful!

@ThEdArBoYz69 the way i do it is i put my index and middle finger on the rim and my thumb on the top and I start my throw with my arm bent a little bit up but across from my shoulder and when I throw i get about 150 feet

@jaylewisstl ik you posted this a couple years ago but i cant seem to get my forehand drive to work.. any tips?

[DiscGolfMinded]

What disc did you use for that fore hand roller.

[innovabill]

Weak ass trigger!

[DrGreenfun]

work on your foot work take more stes or get more power remember smooth is good/far great job practice makes perfect

[DogRebDolph]

Nice shots to get it through that gap. It's hard to tell how far away the trees are to judge your power though. It seems like a little better form could add a hundred feet though. Great camera work.

[damienbarber]

That forehand drive looked a bit weak... I'm guessing forehands are not really your thing? Or is it just deceptive? How far did it go?

Nice roller though and I am sure the backhand went way further than mine since I pretty much suck at backhand (but trying to get better).

Oh and I too like the sound made by the metal chains in slow motion... it is so cool!

try a baseball field. especially one with a backstop. try to throw yout discs towarrds the backstop. I try not to actually hit the fence with the discs, but I rather use the fence to catch the wild throws. then I turn around and throw the discs from home plate to get an idea how far I am throwing. I try out new things on the baseball field before going to league play on the weekends.

man I wish i had some nice open fields at my courses we have trees everywhere and it's hard to practice a real drive when you have to look out for trees

[gravyboat17]

ha! wrong.
