BLOWUP.COM

So I was in second place in advanced at crooked creek heading into the last round. I shot decent rounds of 54,53,52 in that order leading up to round 4. Then the blow up of a lifetime occured. I made the mistake of worrying about the people behind me and not just playing. I caught a few really bad breaks but that doesnt excuse the fact that I had the wrong frame of mind. I always know to play the course until the very end, play my game and it will all fall into place but I didnt and ended up sho… Continue

Thanks G Dubya B for the basket!

I played a tourney this weekend and completely could not put for poop. and still placed 6 of 15 in advanced. Luckily GWB gave me 600 hundred dollars to stimulate the economy which I interpreted as the disc golf economy( as if there is any other), and ordered a sexy Mach III with a wheeled base. It needs to get here now because my putting went to hell since I joined the military and pretty much quit practicing. Im gonna put it together and then we will just hold eachother(me and the basket) when… Continue

Ace # 11

So I aced hole 4 tonight at Earlwwod. It is a little downhill dinker, but finally an Earlwood Ace!!! It was ace #11 and the same forehand shot I always throw which almost always gets an easy bird. This time it got me a ton of chains and a final basket resting place, plus a nice little $23 paycheck which is always a good kicker. My goal a few years back was to get 4 aces in a year and I currently have 2 so maybe I can make that happen who knows? Right now I am just happy with my ace and I hope I… Continue

At 5:08pm on August 29, 2008, Ruther4d said…: Hey man, not sure if you remember but we met at the Firecracker Fling. I was the only guy from San Diego there. I hear you knocked my buddies out of the putting contest at World's. Nice going.

At 3:27pm on August 18, 2008, Beane said…: Nice work at Worlds. Tied for 57 is not bad at all. I bet it was a ridiculously good time though. I would love to hear about it man.

At 4:48pm on July 26, 2008, Paul Garton said…: Wassup, should be in muskegon late friday night for a week of disc'n and drinking before worlds. Cant wait. See you all in a few days.

At 1:25pm on June 7, 2008, Adam Keller said…: my lowest round at McGraft is 10 down and my best at flip is 3 down.I play every day and my putting still sucks. but if I can keep my drives close and don't leave long putts I do just fine. Long putts being anything longer than my tripod stool.[lol]

At 1:20pm on June 7, 2008, Adam Keller said…: hey dude, mcgraft is pretty much the same except #1 is a bit longer.Flip City though has changed a bunch.Hopefully by the time you get back all 24 holes will have cement tees. At last count there were 11 cement pads in.I can't begin on all the hole changes but most are only small tweaks on the way they were.Anyways good to hear from you and keep on huckin.

At 8:06pm on June 5, 2008, Jeff Kuehle said…: Hey Paul,
its nice to hear from you.I hope to see you at the farm Classic as i will be there as well. too bad you can't be here at the end of june for NWS#4 at hickory. Still my favorite course! It would be like old times. Yeah! Sounds like you are putting in the work to get better. I do have a few suggestions for you to start preparing for worlds. Get good with putters inside 250 feet is my best advice. Record yourself and view it over and over along with some other pro you want to throw like. I overlayed my shot to Climos and it help me see what i was doing a wrong. Putt your ass off!! I use 12 putters in my basement and have 4 stations 15,20,25,28( cuz thats all i have inside). and go 3-3-3-3. I alternate rounds with my normal standing putt and straddle putts 12 stagger ( what i call it) and 12 straddle. 12-12-12-12 until i can do 100% sometimes it takes me 100 shots, but i can usually di it by then. The key to this is not worrying about makings the putt so much as do the EXACT same thing everytime and feel what its like to make a good putt. you will have nights of frustration, but you will also have breakthrough night were yo learn something that never goes away and you will always be a better putter because of those days! This will create confidence( not cocky or egotisitic) just calm confidence that you know you can perform when you need to. As far as mental game goes, you are playing against yourself. I notice for me when I am not worrying about others peoples games I play much better.

Id be happy to answer any specific questions you have. otherwise i may go on forever and you will forget all of it!

gotta go

we'll talk soon

Jeff
