Find Your Line: Pro Insights for Tournament Success (Live Recording)
Manage episode 484096917 series 3447475
Ever wondered how the pros prepare for a tournament? In this special live panel discussion, we go deep with five DGPT professionals as they reveal their personal strategies for tournament success at the Cascade Challenge.
Holland Handley, Eric Oakley, Casey White, James Proctor, and Robert Burridge share their approaches to everything from physical recovery between events to mental preparation for technical wooded courses. Their insights expose the reality of life on tour – the grind of travel, the decisions about practice intensity, and the personalized routines that help them perform at their peak.
The conversation takes fascinating turns as the pros discuss course management philosophy, with a particularly illuminating exchange about playing to your strengths rather than forcing textbook shots. "Boring golf is scoring golf," Holland notes, emphasizing the value of consistency over flashy play. Meanwhile, James reveals his surprisingly minimalist practice approach: "When I can step away from disc golf and do some other things unrelated to the sport, I think that helps me stay balanced."
The panel also dives into disc selection strategy, putting techniques, mental game approaches, and even shares stories about their most treasured lost discs. Whether you're a competitive player looking to improve your tournament game or simply fascinated by the inner workings of professional disc golf, this episode offers rare insight into the minds of those competing at the highest level of the sport.
