Rick's videos » Santiam Open: Disc Golf C-Tier (Rick Saffeels) Learning from Losing

3.94   3 ratings
Every day you should learn. Today I was learning to lose. 13 missed putts for 14 pars (one 3p), 3 birdies, and one bogie. And that was just round one.
I ended up in 13th place for the day. That is my worst placement since starting disc golf in 2012.
I got first place 7 events in a row (May-November) in 2015. Today I got 13th. I know that Disc Golf is NOT my life...and there is more to training to do this winter #RespectTheOffSeason

Lol...you can always learn from losing. The best advice I ever got was from Jason Pinkal after playing on a card with him at trojanI had the best drive 70% of the time and the worst putt 100 %percent of the time..on the last hole after missing a 25 footer Jason pinkal looks over at me and sais...I don't know Mike its like you don't want to make it........ever since that I've tried to putt more aggressive and confident....sometimes a bad games good for keeping you humble

Absolutely! God has a great way of giving us an appropriate slice of "hum-bility". Yeah Jason was there at this tournament and killed it and won first in Masters! Thank Mike!!
