Disc golf approach shot

Not everyone will agree, but the approach shot is the most important shot in disc golf. The best way to take strokes off off of your game, is to improve your putting and approach shot. Everyone loves to throw a drive 500 feet, and 50 foot putts are always exciting. If you can throw a drive 250 feet, and then park your approach under the basket, for a drop in putt, there is nothing wrong with that.

Conclusion

The skills you need to perfect to get better in disc golf, are the same as in ball golf. In ball golf, if you improve your game from 200 yards in, you will knock several strokes off your game. Disc golf is the same, if you perfect your game from 200 feet in, you will take many strokes off your game. And if you get a really good approach shot, you call that a birdie.

Driving practice is important, but if you spend the biggest part of your practice time on putting and approach shots, you will improve your game, and lower your scores.
