Hey I'm missing the numbers that some of the people got at the end of the tournament. If you have a bag tag and could tell me the number that would be great! I need to know #4, #16, #18 and maybe one more :) Thanks!

I'm letting everyone know that you made this year's Pyscho Santa the biggest tournament in the Mid Valley Area for December 2013! Thanks for all coming and I look forward to throwing a round with many of you again.
We are looking for one thing that was misplaced during the tournament which was a Innova Skill Shot Black Basket bag that belonged to Steve Moore. It was resting on the Hole 10 Monkey Tree House. If anyone has info on that...Sweet!

ALSO, ICE BOWL IS ON!!!!! REGISTER NOW!!!

Yo! Quite possible that I screwed stuff up posting scores, so if there is somethin' not right or your score isn't posted just let us know and we'll get it worked out. Also, there were a few mixed teams, so I placed both players in the division that the team name was registered under.

TIP FROM THE PROS 6 DAYS BEFORE THE TOURNAMENT- ENJOY!

Today I want to give a offer a quick routine for putting practice.

Even though putting is a lot less physical than driving I recommend a good stretching routine before every workout or round and we will get to a stretching routine soon, for now use what you know and just try and get all of your muscles loose.

For the serious disc golfer getting ready for a tournament, I suggest ONLY training with a basket that catches very well. Thr ... more

TIP FROM THE PROS 6 DAYS BEFORE THE TOURNAMENT- ENJOY!

Today I want to give a offer a quick routine for putting practice.

Even though putting is a lot less physical than driving I recommend a good stretching routine before every workout or round and we will get to a stretching routine soon, for now use what you know and just try and get all of your muscles loose.

For the serious disc golfer getting ready for a tournament, I suggest ONLY training with a basket that catches very well. Throwing too many putts into a poor catching target could actually hurt your game and your confidence in making putts.

Ok here we go putting routine 1.0 !

Take all of your putters and start by throwing 20 shots (not your putting stroke, but a backhanded toss) into the basket from 5-10 feet. I know this may seem silly but the reason is simple, I want you to see how well the chains catch the discs and seeing 20 or so throws hit chains and stick will help you develop confidence it a good firm chain hit.

Start from about 12 feet and do a little rapid fire without going through your routine, but with a close resemblance to your stroke. This is an important part of the practice routines that helps with technique and should be incorporated into your practice sessions religiously.
Whether that is spin putting from your between your legs or from your chest or a pendulum swing push putt, do this in a more athletic nature at first as opposed to the slowed down version of your actual putting routine, get a total of 40-50 throws in ranging from 12-24′ in sets of 5 from 12′,15′,18′ and 24′ to get the muscle memory going.

Go back to about 12′ from the basket and go through your putting routine with each disc (20 shots) hopefully you have at least 10 putters which will make this a lot easier and more time efficient.

Step back to 15, 18 and 24 with 20 putts from each going through each shot with your full routine.

Now you’ve thrown about 120-150 putts and your feeling pretty good about your putting inside 24 feet and you want to start hitting some monster putts.
Too often I see players practicing mostly 30-50 footers and hitting a low percentage right before the round. I’d prefer you hit 90% form inside 24 right before you start taking that kind of confidence into the round.

At this point I know you cant help it and you want to hit some big putts, so spend 10-20 minutes in the 24-50 range and get it out of your system. I suggest waiting but my expereince tells me most are not going to just practice 12-24′ putts WITHOUT putting the 24-50.
BUT....
Before you start throwing the longer putts i want you to try something, step back up to 15 feet and throw (not your putting stroke but a back hand throw) about 20 shots into the chains, now step back to 24 and throw 20 again, what did you notice, was the backhand throwing motion just as effective as your putting stroke?

If your not successful with this backhand toss from 15-24 feet i suggest working on this a bit and then we will move to 24′ – 50′ and then on to approaching and laying up from 50′-150′. You should limit the time spent on the 30-50 foot putts until you really have the under 24′ putts success rate at 80-90%.
