[QUOTE="tall73, post: 75407233, member: 125574"] There is a bit of difference between regular Frisbee throwing and disc golf. That may actually help you in this case, because if your goal is just to be OK, then most of it is thinking through the details, and getting your large muscles right in the form. It is less about wrist manipulation, and more about aiming your body in the right way, and engaging the whole body. But there is a learning curve. Also, some courses are much more beginner friendly than others. Some have incredibly long holes. But for beginners ones that are shorter (usually with pars around 3) are easier, and less discouraging. At first it will be hard to get distance. Also, one of the big things to realize when throwing a disc of this sort, which is not the same as playing catch with a Frisbee, is that almost every disc will have a definite fade at the end which will curve. You need to know and account for this in your throw. And at first your disc may immediately start curving one direction. As you get better at throwing you will be able to throw straighter. If you are right handed, and throwing with the "normal" throw (not side-arm) then your disc at the end of the flight will curve to the left. If you are left handed it will curve to the right. If you want to get started you can get a good all-purpose disc for pretty cheap and give it a try. It would be good to watch a couple of videos on basic form and such to understand how to throw. I can dig some up if you like. You can look up details of the course here: [URL='https://www.pdga.com/course-directory']PDGA Disc Golf Course Directory Map[/URL] Another place to find course info and reviews: [URL="https://www.dgcoursereview.com/browse.php"]Disc Golf Course Review: View and review over 10,000 Disc Golf Courses![/URL] It can help you to know how difficult or long the shots are in your particular area.
