The fundamentals are often overlooked when we get to a phase where we go to the course day in and day out, and just play.
Disc golf is an easy game to pick up but hard to master, and that is why it is important sometimes to take a step back and look at your form with a magnifying glass. This course is for those who wish to check their base and make sure that the building is on solid ground.
Our instructor, Brian Earhart, will teach you how to upgrade your fundamentals in disc golf throwing techniques, both forehand and backhand. He will go through some key pointers to look for, and after this, you will find that disc golf is actually pretty easy. There is not that much to it.
We can see that backhand has many more of these small details to polish, and forehand, while being a more natural way of moving, also has some principles that are often overlooked. Brian will give you the tools to make that throw simple and accurate by showing you how to correct small mistakes you might have picked up along the way.
