Three Paths to Better Disc Golf: How to Lower Your Scores and Enjoy the Game More

by Jack Tupp

Packed with dozens of well-written tips, tricks, and techniques, Three Paths to Better Disc Golf is designed and organized to help players easily find the instructional material that will help you most. In addition to being an accomplished writer, the author has played disc golf for more than 25 years, has won multiple Pro tournaments and runs the successful School of Disc Golf. He also starred in the Discmasters TV show with world champions Nate Doss, Avery Jenkins and Valarie Jenkins. Although it includes chapters on how to throw backhand, sidearm, turnover shots and rollers, this is NOT your typical 'How-To' book. Recreational players and touring pros alike will gain multiple insights. 36 chapters are divided into three sections, with each of the three representing a different path to better disc golf. All three then converge into one principal philosophy- one main road to lower scores and more fun. The philosophical path helps disc golfers examine broad patterns and identify systemic issues in their own games, then provides concepts to affect change. The strategic path is all about playing smarter through analysis and planning. The tactical path is hands-on, providing specific tips and techniques that are both physical and mental in nature. If one of the things you love about disc golf is the lifelong challenge to play better and score lower, this is the book for you.

Great book!

This is an awesome read, Being new to the sport I was a little confused about some aspects of the game. The author makes great sense and is simple to understand. If you take your game seriously you owe it to yourself to check it out

This book offers great insights for the beginning and experienced player alike. I found Tupp's remarks on mindfulness during rounds and mental strategies for playing your best golf to be insightful and pragmatic. The short chapters helped me to think intently on the topic of focus and devise an approach to integrating those into my next round or practice session. Smart, thoughtful, and relatable to all who enjoy throwing those flying circles through the air!

A well done book with a clear focus on the three paths. A lot of focus (appropriately so!) on the mental game. One shot at a time could be the mantra of the book. I feel that I am already a better player at disc golf after reading this book. The best line is to follow the slope of the hill. So, don't be a dope. This has helped shave several points off of my score. The mental game is tough to follow and easy to forget to focus.

A decent overview of the basics of disc golf techniques and strategies. The author is a decent writer although as with many self published books there are a lot of typos. Nothing too ground breaking here and the book is probably best for beginner players looking to expand their knowledge and game. I got more out of Golf is not a Game of Perfect by Bob Rotella.

There are some useful tips in here. I had a light bulb moment regarding putting form based on how it is described here.
