WOOT! New Best Score at Jones Disc Golf Course

I shot even today for the first time at Jones Disc Golf Course in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. My old previous best was +2 counting everything as par 3 of course including hole #17 which is about 780 feet or so.

WOOT!!!!

It rained again today, which was not good, but I decided to go play some disc golf anyway. Normally I meet with a group of coworkers on Monday nights to play disc golf. The weather did not look very good so I canceled the meeting. Then when I got off work, the weather had cleared up all the rain was to the South, so I went disc golfing by myself. I am always working on my disc golf throw and today I think I finally found a little something that will help improve my distance off he tee. I think all this time I have been playing I have only been rotating my upper body about half the angle I should be. What I mean is normally when I normally throw I only rotate about 45 degrees away from the target and let it rip. Well today, I was getting a full 90 degrees of rotation in trying to get a better pull back. While my disc was not really going much further, the disc did seem to get there quicker, which means I was throwing it with high velocity which will end up giving me more distance off the tee. Now all I need to do is get the timing down a little better and build up a couple more muscles. I noticed after disc golf today, my right shoulder was hurting a little and I was thinking, "My shoulder never hurts after playing a round", but then I remember some other people saying their shoulders hurt after playing and I think I stumbled onto something good. I hope this works out well, it would be really nice to throw a driver 325 to 350 feet off the tee as apposed to only 275 to 300 feet.
