Starting out in disc golf? Don’t worry — everyone makes mistakes. The key is learning from them quickly. Here are 7 of the most common beginner errors and how to fix them:

1. **Throwing High-Speed Drivers Too Early**
Stick to putters and mids until your form develops.

2. **Overpowering Every Throw**
Focus on smooth, controlled motion — not brute force.

3. **Ignoring Wind and Angles**
Learn how hyzer and anhyzer angles affect flight.

4. **Gripping Too Tight**
Use a relaxed grip to reduce wobble and increase spin.

5. **Rushing the Throw**
Take your time, use your whole body — not just your arm.

6. **Not Practicing Putting**
Putting makes or breaks your round. Practice often.

7. **Using Beat-Up Discs**
Old or warped discs can behave unpredictably. Start with fresh plastic.

Fixing these will get you playing better — and enjoying the game more — in no time.
