..”there are a bunch of them, so I’m going to go fast”…
I never doubted for a second that you would pull that off. Very helpful video Pete, thank you.
Prayed for your family’s safety as these storms have worked their way across the south.
Best disc golf term video ever made. Enjoyable to watch regardless of skill level
Thanks for this month of videos Pete. As we slip into the new year… here's hoping we all get more birdies and hit fewer trees.
Awful lot to hear…lost u at throwlers …..also, all of these terms are opposite for left handed players…it's very difficult to grasp when yiur entire talk relates to rh throwers…it's wonderful, but lh players need lh talks just as much
I love the idea of provisionals but I can never remember the word “provisional” when I’m actually playing!
Look at you, using the metric system. I’m so proud of you. We have a local course that plays by California rules. It is not written anywhere, but regulars are aware that tree shots mean penalty. Lots of branches to catch discs. I still don’t get why people use the term ‘stable’ to describe ‘understable’ discs. I would prefer sticking to beefy for beefy discs and stable, for discs that have a somewhat straight flight. Oh my, you reminded me of a time I was playing casually with a friend. He told me I should have called ‘provisional’ before throwing a make-up shot for a disc we were sure was out of bounds, but wasn’t when we found it. Frustrating. Glad it came up before I needed it in a tournament.
