Street Course Management - Save time, money and strokes |
|
| Knowing
when to take a risk and when to play it safe is often referred
to as course management. This concept is used in ball golf play
and design on most modern ball golf courses. Until recently, the
disc golfer, however, has not had to think about course management.
It was a grip it and rip it kind of game. With the advent of longer
courses and multiple par 4s and 5s on a course, players are begining
to realize that course management is a part of disc golf and that
it is here to stay. |
|
| Risk
and Reward. There are times when you might lose a stroke if a shot
goes awry. There are times when you might lose a disc. Being aware
of these risks, realizing that there could be a safer route,
and logically deciding which choice is your best play, is course
management. The better you are at course management, the lower
your scores will be (not to mention that you will probably lose
fewer
discs.) |
|
| Good
design. Well designed disc golf courses, which are the courses
we want to play over and over, require improved course
management skills. Good course management will give an edge over
players with similar physical abilities. |
|
| Play
the percentages. If you can't clear a pond 300' away, lay up or
go around it. This may be tough to do, but it is going to result
in your best score, fewer lost discs, and is the essence of good
course management. Sometimes it is better to play smart than to
grip it and rip it. |
|
| Practice
with a double round. Find a challenging course in your area and
play one set of discs the grip it and rip it method and the other
set playing a more conservative, smarter game. Determine which
shots are worth trying and which shots are not. Be honest with
yourself and your game
will improve, and you will probably lose fewer discs. |
