Don't buy a disc until you've had a chance to throw it.
Never try to keep more than 300 separate thoughts in your mind during your throw.
If you're afraid a full throw might reach the green while the foursome ahead of you is still putting out, you have two options: you can immediately shank a lay-up or you can wait until the green is clear and hit a tree halfway there.
The less skilled the player, the more likely he is to share his ideas about the proper throwing motion.
No matter how bad you are playing, it is always possible to play worse.
The inevitable result of any disc golf lesson is the instant elimination of the one critical unconscious motion that allowed you to compensate for all of your many other errors.
If it ain't broke, try changing your grip.
A disc golf match is a test of your skill against your opponents' luck.
It is surprisingly easy to hit a fifty foot putt. For a 10.
Counting on your opponent to inform you when he breaks a rule is like expecting him to make fun of his own haircut.
Nonchalant putts count the same as chalant putts.
It's not a gimme if you're still away.
The shortest distance between any two points on a disc golf course is a straight line that passes directly through the center of a very large tree.
There are two kinds of skips; unfair skips and skips just the way you meant to play it.
You can hit an acre fairway 10% of the time and a two inch branch 90% of the time.
If you really want to get better at disc golf, go back and take it up at a much earlier age.
Since bad shots come in groups of three, a fourth bad shot is actually the beginning of the next group of three.
Every time a disc golfer makes a birdie, he must subsequently make two triple bogeys to restore the fundamental equilibrium of the universe.
If you want to throw a driver as far as Avery Jenkins does, simply try to lay up just short of the water hazard.
Hazards attract; fairways repel.
You can put hyzer on the disc, you can put anhyzer on the disc, but no disc golfer can put a straight on the disc.
A disc you can see in the woods from 150 feet away is not yours.
If there is a disc on the edge of OB and a disc in OB, your disc is OB. If both discs are in OB, yours is stuck in a tree out of your reach.
It's easier to get up at 6:00 AM to play disc golf than at 10:00 to mow the yard.
Sometimes it seems as though your basket moveth over.
A good drive on the 18th hole has stopped many a disc golfers from giving up the game.
DiscGolf is the perfect thing to do on Sunday because you always end up having to pray a lot.
A good disc golf partner is one who's always slightly worse than you are...that's why I get so many calls to play with friends.
If there's a storm rolling in, you'll be having the game of your life.
If your opponent has trouble remembering whether he shot a six or a seven, he probably shot an eight (or worse).
It takes longer to learn to be a good disc golfer than it does to become a brain surgeon. On the other hand, you don't get to walk around in the woods, drink beer, eat hot dogs if you are performing brain surgery.
