  • Hey!
    In this video I, a beginner, go my very first round of disc golf with Tomas Ekström. He shows me what to think about with disc and shot selections. Hope you´ll enjoy the video :)

    I'm becoming a big fan of Jonathan. I can totally relate with a lot of the experiences he has. He has a great attitude, and I think he explains what he's trying to do very well. Especially the "ramble" where he talked about having too much force and not enough control. That will balance out the more he plays. It's one thing to do field work, but ultimately one must play the game. BTW very nice camera work (you can tell a good camera was used) and post production (from the edits to the graphics). Lastly, as an American, I appreciate the "feet" being used as well as meters. Keep this beginner video series going, even if it's just Jonathan vlogging his development!

    I had never heard about Disc Golf before my brother in law invited the entire family out for a round.
    We assumed that we would not be good, and would have no clue what we were doing, but we had a great time and got hooked fairly quickly.
    Where I live there are not many options for courses within 1 hour drive, and no farmer will be happy with Discs hitting their cows or sheep, so there really are no fields to practice at either.
    That first round, we lost count of how many we let play through, but that's to be expected when one is new.
    I still let people play through quite frequently, as I am still just a complete newbie and have had very few people to ask for advice. Best advice I ever got so far was "Start to learn to throw a midrange and a putter. Wait with drivers" (Guess I should not have bought the drivers when I did, they see more use now though.)

    My first time playing was after I had watched a couple of short videos some friends had posted on Facebook. I wasn't certain that I wanted to sink any money into the game yet. Being VERY ignorant, I bought a dog frisbee and played several rounds with it. I decided I liked the game well enough and bought a starter set. (Innova as it was the only thing available in my area). Once I had real golf discs, I fell in love with the sport and even managed to get my wife hooked. I'm 53 now and started when I was roughly 49. I wish I had discovered it earlier in my life.

    My first experience on a disc golf course went something like this.
    I grew up playing all kinds of sports, but I never really cared for contact sports. I didn’t feel like I ever truly fit into mainstream sports. I loved throwing a frisbee, and kicking around a hacky sack with friends. I was 16 years old and I heard some guys at my high school talking about playing disc golf. I had no clue what it was, but I saw them in our school newspaper (which I thought was pretty cool) and understood golf and frisbees. The concept seemed very simple, but I didn’t know anything about the discs.
    I went to a store that sold boomerangs, kites, discs, and really any object that flew. I bought an Innova DX Cheetah, and went to the closest park to my house that had baskets. This park is where I grew up playing baseball every summer. The park has long open rolling hills with large old trees sprinkled throughout these rolling fields. Even though this newer course was on a mostly open field with large hills and a few trees here and there, the course was long and challenging for a beginner.
    I found my way to hole one and threw my first drive. This disc was not like anything I have played catch with. The Cheetah is a fairway driver making the profile slim and the rim sharper then any beach frisbee I have thrown. I released my first drive and was baffled as to why it went high and faded left fast. An old man with a long white beard and shaggy white hair, a little heavy set, wearing a tie dye shirt approached me. He introduced himself as Hippy Santa hahaha. He asked if I had ever played before. I told him no and that I heard about it and figured I would come give it a shot. He invited me to play a round with him, and proceeded to show me all of the proper ways to grip the disc and the different angles you can release them. He showed me the “X step” and his driving technique “the lawnmower pull”.
    In just a few holes I instantly gained twice the distance, but my shots were going all over the place, zigzagging back and forth across each hole. The more I practiced the more I understood the flight characteristics of this disc and worked on my release angles. I remember instantly falling in love with the sport and encouraged my friends to join me all of the time. I have now been playing recreational disc golf for 21 years. I’ve enjoyed contributing to the sport by educating individuals, couples, and families on how to play and understanding proper etiquette on the course.
    I’ve put on a few pounds since my teenage years and my beard is starting to turn white now, so maybe the torch has been passed on to me haha. I hope whoever reads this has enjoyed my journey from my first round on. Stay safe out there. Throw long, throw pure, and have fun!

    Hey recent watcher of a lot of your videos. I play twice weekly (or more if I have time) and actually only started a couple of months ago. I shot +16 that time, I was definitely ripping the disc too much and had issues with form. I started watching your videos to help with some issues, and on Tuesday this week I went out and shot -3 on the same course. Just wanted to say I'm really grateful for your videos and its nice to see you playing on your first course and having similar issues I did/do. Im sure nowadays you're probably doing a lot better, so I cant wait to watch those videos as well!

    Hey Jonathan (if you even read comments on videos as old as this),
    So, I'm posting a comment only because you encouraged beginners to do so and I actually shot my first round of disc golf yesterday. I bought some discs last week and basically learned how to throw from watching these Latitude 64 videos. I had a blast and am super pleased with how well I threw (mostly bogeys, a couple pars, and even one birdie!), and I owe it all to these videos. Between Jonathan's self-deprecating but passionate approach and the sage-like mastery of Tomas, the videos on this channel are extremely helpful and accessible to anyone looking to get into or just get better at this all-too-fun sport. So anyway, not to ramble, but thanks and keep up the good work!

    Not my first experience playing a round but just played in my first tournament in a long time. I ‘‘twas held during the rain (torrential downpour) which I usually avoid as a casual player. It was two rounds of 18 over 2 courses and it was either raining or jungle like humidity when the sun came out. I had grip issues on drives lead to second guessing and bad form and my usual good short game was not answering my calls to bail me out. I think I started rounding more by turning too sideways to my target/line instead of pointing my chest towards it and right hip up. Midway through the second round when I thought I was out of it and just started to throw relaxed shots down the fairway I was all of a sudden shooting Par instead of +1 to +3 per hole. Love your positivity during the entire experience

    I played at a par 3 (classic with clubs) golf course that also had disc golf baskets as my first time last year. But today I played the first time with more trees and more twists and bends in the course. I got some Lat64 discs for Christmas and it was useful hearing “could use the Fuse” since I got a Fuse and Saint and got to try them today. I hope to learn a bit more, maybe join some locals (Facebook group plays around the area and meets up) and have some fun. Two pars in 18 holes and a few triple bogeys as well!

    Just started really playing about four months ago and have become addicted. I’ve seen major improvements but still have soooo far to go 😂 but I’m learning the less serious I take it and less I focus on scores/improvements on previous rounds, and just focus on falter straighter basic type throws, I tend to do better. Typically for me the follow hole goes horribly wrong but everyday I’m learning something new. Playing with better disc golfers has helped me a ton as well! Diggin the videos. Shout out to latitude 64 for my favorite skull print pure putter! Had to get three more after I lost my first one from my starter set 🤘🏼🤘🏼

    Hello Sir Jonathan 👋
    First of all, great editing work 👍
    A few months ago my dad and half brother took me to a disc golf course, and I was sure that I would win 🙈 I went straight home for studying the meaning of the terms of this game.
    Then I went to practice 💪 and my second game with my father and stepbrother I did totally win 😊
    (good for me)😂
    I have seen all of your videos and have learned much from Thomas and Johannes 😉 thanks a lot 👌
    I do from time to time visit Sweden, and I do intend to someday challenge you for a round 👉
    Wish you well

  • @jprince85

    I played my first game, and then really learned how to throw a disc several months later. The game is sooo much more fun for me now that a lot of my discs are actually following a flight path that resembles what is marked on the disc.
    I can relate to the trying too hard to throw fast. I used to do a fast run up, but switched to just a controlled walk up and was seeing pretty much the same distance with -generally- more accuracy.
    Nice to watch a progression video. Kinda looked like Jonathan was improving there at the end. Should be fun to watch more of these in the future.

    • @Latitude64
      @Latitude64  4 года назад

      I understand. Was there something that sort of clicked when you started to learn after a couple of months? The grip or the stand etc.? When the throwing got better I mean.

    • @jprince85
      @jprince85 4 года назад +1

      @@Latitude64 honestly, I think the thing that helped the most, was watching myself play and compairing my throwing motion to the pros and trying to correct little things I saw. For example, I noticed that while I was reaching back, I wasn't really turning my hips and shoulders, so I wasn't getting as much speed as I could be so I worked on correcting that.
      Recording and watching in slow motion is also a good way to look at your timing and footwork and see if you need to work on that.
      Grip and stance should basically just come with time. Just every time you get ready to throw, check your grip and eventually both the grip and the stance will feel more natural/comfortable.
      I've only been playing for about a year and a half, but I have hit 400(121 meters) feet a couple time on flat ground.

    Someone invited me to tag along. Played one round on a newbie 9 course and was in love at #2.
    Immediately bought a starter pack and played as much as possible. Played alone or with other noobs, so I never got any corrections or advice. Spent a long time unlearning bad habits as a result.
    I still had fun of course, a lot of fun, but if you want to get straight into good habits, ask around AND check out the rest of the videos on this channel.

    I first started playing in 2011 and got my PDGA # the following year. I had a friend who played and he kept bugging me to come out so we went to a course called Grand Woods, which is not a forgiving beginner course. I remember the trepidation of teeing off of hole 1 with people nearby and not much disc instruction. My Beast flew high into the air and hyzered out to the right (I'm left handed). After the round he left his bag in my car and I went to a soccer field and started practicing. I would like to think I have learned a lot in the past 9 years but I am still very much a student of the game.
