Memorable Disc Golf Moment

Taking 2nd at the 2007 Pro Worlds Mixed Doubles Championships. My partner was my brother Tim Schreder. He is the one responsible for introducing me to the game of disc golf and teaching me a few things along the way. We actually went into a two hole playoff, we lost, but to share that moment with him was awesome and victory enough for me!

Katy's Advice For A Better Game

People tend to get frustrated easily. Here's how to decrease your frustration: 1.Don't necessarily focus on the result of your shot. If you throw the shot you intended on the line you intended and the result doesn't come out exactly how you thought it would, that doesn't necessarily mean you threw a bad shot. You did all you could to throw the shot you wanted to. This is what I found helps me to move on from a bad shot and focus on to the next task at hand. 2. Commit to your shot. Have 100% confidence that this is the shot you want to make. Freeing your mind of worries

Don't try to force something that is not there. Be natural with your shot. The best way to be natural with your shot is to buy discs that suit you. If you are looking for more distance try something a little more understable or even a little lighter.

Remember to practice your short distance approaches. When you don't have a lot of distance this is just as important as your drive. I tend to practice these shots from 100-150 feet. When you are able to put yourself within your consistent putting range it boosts confidence for the upcoming putt.

COURSES YOU SHOULD PLAY:

Fountain Hills Fountain Hills, AZ	Beautiful course with lots of risk reward shots.
Blue Ribbon Pines East Bethel, MN	This is the best manicured course out there. Not to mention the challenge. This course will test every aspect of your game.
McNaughton Park Pekin, IL	This course has such a variety. Elevation change, woods, and long bombers.
Riverside Park St. Cloud, MN	This is a beautiful course with rolling hills and lots of oak trees and of course it is my home course.
Waterworks Park Kansas City, MO	Love the elevation changes within a city park!

In The Disc Golf Bag: Drivers
Disc	Comments
Z Stalker (167-169 gm)	I love this disc. I use it for multiple types of shots. From short hyzers to straight shots when I need a little more distance than my Buzzz.
ESP Avenger SS (173-174)	I have always thrown the Avenger SS, but I was needing to replace them often as they would get beat in. Now that it's available in Z plastic I am able to throw the same disc but with more consistency.
X Avenger (170-172)	This is my favorite disc in my bag. I carry multiple. The more beat up fly straight, but will also hold an anhyzer lane if needed. The newer finish with a little hyzer on them.
ESP Surge (169-172)	I use this disc for long hyzer shots. I love this disc because I can really put something on it and I know it will always finish hyzer.
ESP Flash (167-169 gm)	This is what I go to when I am looking for distance. This disc has so much speed, and it is by far the farthest flying disc in my bag.

In The Disc Golf Bag: Midrange
Disc	Comments
X Buzzz (170-174)	This is the best disc I carry in my bag. I carry multiples in my bag, each a little differently beat in. I feel the most confident throwing this disc. I know I can get it to do what I want. It will hold whatever line you throw it on.
ESP Buzzz (173-174 gm)	This is slightly more stable than my X Buzzz. I use this disc for more hyzer approach shots.
