MY FIRST TOURNAMENT After a YEAR LONG Break!! | Beginner Disc Golf Tips

Спорт

My name is Robbie C...and I love to play tournaments. Playing in events feels like it adds a level of pressure to the game that helps me become better faster. However...in my road to improvement I took 2023 off of sanctioned events because I wanted to make some major form changes and knew that if we had an event waiting around the corner those changes would never stick. With over 500 days between my last sanctioned event and The Compound Open 3...we jumped back in the saddle. How did it go?? You’ll have to watch to find out!!

    That comment about us AMs being upset about not hitting 100% C1X was so real. I’m guilty of it myself and needed to hear it. But also def agree the mental game is critically underrated cause that can really break anyone

    For me its infuriating even when I have like 7/10 from C1 because the ones I miss are always horrible putts that I gave no chance. It’s either perfect or completely terrible.

    Been playing for just under 2 months. Spent a ton of time watching youtube and many of your videos. Played my first tournament last weekend and ended up 5th of 22 in ma4 with a 836 rating. Already signed up for a few more. Thanks for all the quality videos.

    Robbie I’m sorry the third round didn’t go as you would’ve liked, but really appreciated your “silver linings” sum up. Great mental advice that can easily get pushed to the wayside but but just as important even for someone like me that isn’t at tourney level yet. Appreciate your content as always

    Yeah, this is helpful for sure. The mental game is SOOooooo important. Last year, I finally bought a PDGA membership (after playing casually for a couple years and done a Trilogy Challenge the year prior) and decided that I wanted to play in my first tournament, something I was scared-excited about. Come tournament time, I'm on the chase card after Rd. 1 and within just a few strokes of the lead. Then, the prospect of that lead and the pressure to perform perfectly crumbled me, and while I didn't totally bomb the rest of the round and tournament, I most definitely was not gonna finish near the top. Mental game was not very good. Fast forward a year later, just a few weeks ago, to my 3rd tournament (2nd was a flex-start last year that didn't have many people, finished top 3), still in MA4 (coming in rated 844), and I expected to win. Not a huge field, it's a course that's 2/3rds familiar (10-hole glow layout before, this was the full 18), and I'm in the lead by 2 strokes after Rd. 1. Second round, the wind had other plans. I saw my lead diminish and at one point I was behind the lead by 5 strokes with a guy on my card. Long-short, we kept up the mental game, got birdies when we could, and honestly....just willed my mind to say, "No, it's not over." Ended up winning my first tournament (by 3 strokes), and the mental game had 100% to do with that.

    Hey Robbie. I followed your tip this past weekend about warming up before tournaments. I missed my last practice putt so I would have a higher chance of making my next putt which would be on hole 1. I ended up throwing the closest drive but then 3 putted for the only bogey on the card. 😎🤝👍

    I had a few tournaments over the past few months that have been a journey. I had one where in my practice round I shot -2. Then in the tournament I shot a total of 20 over par. A real reality check for me in tournament pressure that I hadn't felt in over a decade. Then I went to a non sanctioned event after tons and tons of practice. Once again on that course I had shot a -6 weeks prior and took a -1 the day of the tournament coming in second place. With pressure and missed opportunities I secured second. Jumping from almost dead last to second. During that tourney I focused on mental side and playing my game. Jump forward a couple weeks at a pretty good sized b tier I went in focused on playing my game. Not placing. During round 1 I was in first until halfway through when I checked standings and proceeded to drop 5 strokes over 4 holes. Struggling to pick myself back up. Finally I re focused on playing my game and managed to end round one on second place by one stroke. Round two is where I am both disappointed and proud of myself. I ended up jumping into first after two holes closely followed by the guy who was in third going into the round. And we had an awesome battle throughout the round. This round I didn't focus on the standings. I knew roughly where event was and focused on the guy behind me and the guy behind him. Keeping my game solid and not caving under the pressure. When I would lose a stroke I would focus on getting it back. By the end of this long battle I ended up tied for first with the guy who started the round in 5th. We went into a playoff that I botched. Hence the disappointment and the missed opportunities during first and second round. But my mental game was far stronger than ever. And even though I took second place I fought hard for it and played some far better golf than I have in a while in a tournament setting. That mental game is a killer. I can keep working on mechanics but if that mental game goes then so does everything else.

    Thanks for sharing. Been playing almost a year, will be getting into a tournament this year. I think everyone deals differently with how they control nerves, emotions, but everyone also pretty much knows what triggers them, so that's what is the easiest to work on ahead of things. It's relaxing to a novice like me to see even a well seasoned player reacts in situations like you. You approach those in such a common sense way, I really enjoy seeing how you work yourself through them. It's calming in a way. Definitely look forward to hearing about your success as your year progresses. You got the knowledge & mentality, we all know you have the ability. Best wishes. Question....did you wear the 🤠??
