    Disc golf, just like traditional golf, incorporates many different disciplines.  From the mental game, to the physical ability, naturally gifted talents and the art of managing them all together, when every single stroke counts.

Ask a Pro: Round 2 with Valarie Jenkins

Question from Lisa:

After playing for many years I seem to have found a rut. My game is ok but I would like more. Any ideas how you can keep things fresh and have a little growth? After playing for so long it's hard to see the little changes.

Ask a Pro - Round 1 with Sarah Stanhope

Question from Indigo Brude:

This year I have been practicing a lot and trying really hard to become more consistent. I've stopped going for distance on my drives, and have been focusing on placement (keeping it in-bounds, in the middle of the fairway, within decent up-shot distance to the basket). 

Still though, it seems like at least once every round, I "blow up" on a hole. I throw a crazy drive, have a tough time recovering, miss the putt... and there goes all the work I've done throughout the whole round in that one catastrophic double or triple bogie. Is there anything I should be doing in practice to keep this from happening in tournaments? How do you play so consistently good?
