RE: I perform at an excellent level in bowling and get the highest score of the month

Very nice! Even at my best I don't think I ever game close to that score. I totally feel for the people who might be getting frustrated over their game. I played a round of disc golf this weekend for my league and I had my worst score of the summer. I came home and told my wife "I actually think I am getting worse!". It's horrible and annoying all at the same time.

well if I had a wife I would imagine that I would do that same speech on a regular basis. I would like to hope that yours was supportive.
how bad is "I think I'm getting worse" actually though? Like 10 over par?
14 over par. My best on this course this summer was 6 over par. I've been playing for twenty years, but I've never really taken the time to work on my form. I see people online talking about how they can only throw 300 feet and they want to get more distance. I'm lucky if I get a drive that goes 200 feet. My wife says I am in my head too much. As usual, I think she is right. I need to start putting in the practice time too. I have a net at home so I can work on my drive. I just need to commit to it.
I don't know how far I was able to throw a driver back in the day but every now and then my release would be just perfect and I would get a straight throw that didn't "turn over" and just flew and flew and flew. Those moments were few and far between for me but I know it felt great when it happened.
How many disks do you normally go out with? I would only take 3 with me on most days but then again, I only played for about 6 years.
I bag about 15 dics right now, but I probably only use maybe five of them pretty consistently. I have a couple duplicates of the ones that I use the most. My go-to discs are the Sidewinder, Stingray, Stratus, and Buzzz. I just don't have a ton of arm speed, but like I said, I haven't really taken the time to work on my form. I need to get that sorted, then I can work on my footwork to engage my hips more. The course I played the most this summer has a pond you can throw over on hole 3 and I always throw from the alternate tee. One day I would like to be consistent enough to throw over that pond.
