Distance shouldn’t be your main concern every single time you play. Instead, your main priority should be how to get the disc into the basket with the fewest good and accurate amounts of throws as possible. Once you can throw accurately, you can then start worrying about throwing it super far. Let’s be very honest, not many of us – not even pro disc golfers – will ever throw an incredible distance of 1,108.9 feet (337.99 meters), which remains the record for the longest disc golf drive ever.

In other words, there are more important things to think about than how far you can throw the disc. The most important thing is to practice and hone your skills so that you can not only get the disc where you want, but can also complete the hole with as few shots as possible. Here are 7 tips to help you get the best of both worlds (distance and accurate shots). (more…)
