When finding a partner I think it is super important to find someone that will always support your dreams and goals. Kelsey has been through a lot of changes in my career over the last few years and has always given me unwavering support. It was fun to share my love of disc golf with her and to spend the afternoon out on the course. We recently have been bringing out our 2 corgis on the course to make it a family affair. Hopefully this video will inspire you to share disc golf with a loved one. Keep Slinging Em!

Training Kelsey for a big upcoming battle :)
Just have Kelsey step slightly forward with her lead (right) leg, and she will have a much easier time pulling that disc on a straight line. You want the heel of your right foot to be in line with the toe of your left foot when your legs are shoulder-width apart. Also one final easy thing you can teach her, tell her to pretend she is trying to elbow someone in the chest during her throw, because that helps people lead with their elbow and create the whip effect with their arm.
I think something that will help with the nose angle is having the disc swing out of your hand using the pivot/pinch point between your thumb and pointer finger.

AWESOMENESS!
Nice!! You should go play Audubon park in garland bud real great course!
I can tell she has a lot of determination in her and wants to learn how to play the game. I love seeing this. Just don’t get discouraged and stick with it. Sometimes it just takes one really nice shot to keep me coming back to the course.
One of the best feelings in the world is when your lady likes and does the same things you do.
Infinimetrical :) cool man, is that how your situation is? What kind of activities? Hope you both keep enjoying jiving with each other’s interests and having lots of beautiful experiences!
Depends how long you've been together. I play golf to get away from my lady!
Definitely one of my happiest days was when my girlfriend asked to come play a round and actually enjoyed it. She’s insecure about how far she throws, but just the fact that she’ll come with and we can spend time together while doing something I love makes me so happy.
Kentdotk that makes me happy to hear about :) That’s awesome! Wish me luck with my gal, that we’ll find some fun and amicable pastimes too 👍
True dat. Wild horses couldn't drag my lady onto a real golf course, but in disc golf we've finally found an outdoor activity that we both like after years of trial and error It's great.
Should do Brodie and Hannah vs Kelsey and Paul!
Yes! This!
Heck ya!! This, please!!!
Brodie, you had it wrong at the end of the video. Not you and Kelsie against Paul and Hannah... You and Hannah against Paul and Kelsie. Balance out the skill levels. This SO NEEDS TO HAPPEN!
No should do Paul and Brodie Vs Kelsie
you took the words outta my mouth !
I threw the tire its at 1 speed 27 glide 0 turn 0 fade
You mean -27 glide 😂
😂
All my compliments to Kelsey in this video! Her positivity is infectious and quite honestly she was surprisingly good for a beginner!
This has to be the most relatable disc golf video I've ever seen. Taking notes on how supportive and encouraging you are.
Good tip for fixing "nose down", which is really just flat, is to tell a new player to throw the disc on the same plane as the fairway. Also set the angle out in front of you on where you want the disc to actually come out of your hand (anny, flat, high, low etc.). If you set it on the right angle there, it's easier to focus on getting back to that spot. It is really hard to learn by telling someone to "keep the nose down". The most important part of a throw with a disc is the angle its on when it leaves your hand. Also to throw flatter, stand taller with more weight on your heels than toes.
Another way to fix hyzer angle issues for new players is to teach them to throw rollers. Rollers force you to pop the disc on the anny angle or it will just hyzer out. Roll it into the ground, then tone it back little by little until you have the flex line. It's a lot easier to learn an over-exaggerated anny and work back to flat, than it is to throw flat and work to an anny.
Kelsey's first throw is in the top 1% of first disc golf throws...I'm jelly. Also if you putters and mids nose up it's not too bad because they are meant to glide. Nose down is more for drivers because they are cutting through air more than gliding.
I’ve been playing for a year and a half now and was able to learn from this! Keep up the great work!
After watching this video today, I took my discs to the nearest park and tried to follow the steps you outlined here. I immediately began throwing farther and straighter than I ever have before, and from a standstill. Thank you for explaining it in such a simple way. I'm going to the course this Saturday and I will update this comment with how much of an improvement I've made using your instruction. Thanks again.
UPDATE: I went to the course today. Before watching this video, I last shot a +23. Today I shot a +13. Thanks again. Again.
Yo Brody! Started playing Disc Golf in '15 and am long time ball golfer...this video takes me back to when I started Disc Golf...so new and fun and exciting in the beginning,and still is...so original of you to document you and your wife's learning stages...your both great to watch...keep it up you two!
My wife is gonna love this video. She likes to come out and play and learn. It’s fun to have a sport/activity to do together. She’s a really good putter. Have fun learning
Brodie, you are doing great. Welcome to disc golf Kelsey.
Focus areas, I have seen a lot of poeple starting into disc golf,
1 Roundong the disc instead of pulling.
2 Reaching behind the body,
3 the hips is where most of your power will start.
Keep up the hard work and you'll be a star!
My girlfriend showed me disc golf and I play 2-3 times a week now for the past year and love it! You’re progressing really quick man, keep it up!! 🤘🙂
Normally its “grow womens disc golf” not the other way around
I've been playing disc golf for a good amount of time now, but I'm learning more as you're learning, and as you're teaching your wife. I'm glad you're in the sport Brodie, your participation is going to change the sport for all of us.
The secret to have your wife fall in love with your new hobby sport.......ENCOURAGE her through the process. Brodie, great job!!
love your content, and you're wife is super supportive of everything you do. I truly admire that. but its always nice to see Kelsey in front of the camera instead of behind it.. lol
And she is beautiful too.
I love this! Hopefully this video is inspiring other ladies to try discgolf. Keep playing Kelsey!!!
I feel like she needs to pull through with her elbow but other than that she’s actually really good and way much better than myself lol. Keep slinging those discs
Agreed. I've learned that at first the best way to throw is the way that's comfortable for you and just learn your lines but also adjust your throw at the same time
Yeah, you can notice that when she starts to throw, her elbow stays static/straight and the disc travels in straight line from peak of her reachback to the moment it slips out of her hand to left side, it's still flying in that same line. She is reaching too far and behind her body, causing her to round. It's gonna be hard to correct nose angle if that isn't corrected first.
This. It's called "rounding", and how you throw a frisbee. Need to pull straight through leading with the elbow (which you do now Brodie). The motion is like pull-starting a mower that's up on a table.
I absolutely love how Kelsey is down to go along with any and every challenge you throw her way.
I love how dedicated you have become in this sport Brodie! One tip that may help her out would be to have her weight more forward when throwing. Keeping the weight on the back foot has a tendency to lift the front shoulder up, causing the nose up hyzer stall. Keep up the great work!
Wow. Kelsey is throwing better than most beginners and Brodie's putt is a 1000 rated for sure😮
You guys are killing it!
Okay, here is a tip for both of you. Bring the front foot forward. Not closer to the basket but the edge of the tee pad. This creates more space for the upper body to rotate. Could fix the nose up problem too as she was dipping the disc mid pull.
Hey man I never comet on stuff but if you tell her to pull strait though but start with her hand high it helps some new players throw lower and flat. And instead of nose down maybe say wrist rolled down? Different things click for different people. I love disc golf and have loved your videos and I’m happy you’re getting into it seriously!!
Shoutout to the disc golfer at 7:55 for rolling the tire back to its owner.
My wife had followed me around the local courses for a year and never played a full round. Her first round was a tournament I was going to, I didn't tell her that I had signed her up. She was pissed at first, then fell in love. We have been disc golfing now for 5 years. Your approach is much less sink or swim, good job.
Try a Stratus. They're slow and very very understable. I carry one for short distance sharp backhand turnovers and trick forehand rollers when I'm stuck in the woods. My 10-year-old son uses a lighter weight Stratus for straight drives (I think it's 161g). They're not for everybody, though, because of how shallow they are, but when you're brand new like Kelsey is you want something that has a greater tendency to go straight with less spin...which is understable.
Welcome to Disc Golf!
Couples who golf (disc or regular) together stay together!
My favourite video yet, reminds me of when I first took my wife. We now play competitions all over the UK. Couples that disc golf together, stay together!!
When I saw this, I instantly smiled. And yes. I commented before the video started.
I hit play, then immediately hit the like button. Then watched the video. Doing this as a video was a great idea, and I look forward to more.
And I just watched your hole 2 baby step drive.... yeah, that basically matched the best drive I've ever had after countless rounds at BB Owen
Finally she gets out there. You can do it Kelsey!
You and Hannah vs Paul and Kelsey!
Keep slangin those disc! I thought Brodie was gonna pull a "get off the shed!" With the keep the nose down. 😂
She is doing great for her first time. Way better than my first round. Hands down. Keep it up y'all. Loving the content!!!
I was imagining teaching my girlfriend to throw disc golf while watching this. I don't think it would go this well. It takes patience from both sides. This video is a good beginner lesson too.
LOL at tire guy @8:00
I imagine you might have been bombarded about this... But. There is a company called Flightowel. They fob disc golf towels with the flight wing of a disc so you can use the towel as warm up practice. What I do since I still do standstill shots, I draw my arm straight across and whip the disc. A snap facilitates an impact of force against the wing to slide the rotations faster from ignition. The more rotations, especially for a flipper disc can and will activate it's turn from the ignitions. One great way to practice the standstill draw is to face a mirror, or, record what you're doing to alter for consistent muscle memory. Even so, her first throw was very good.
Release, ideally should he between 9 and 10 o'clock. A cool way I learned to get consistent snap was by pushing outward after you engage the hips, from the disc being in the tuck position. Like an outward arc from right above your core. Paul does this as well as every other top pro. The pull is just engaging the shoulders to keep up with the hips. Then is the outward push to release at that optimal 9 to 10 o'clock. If this help, cool. Sometimes hearing or reading it a different way helps things "click".
So, something that I have used to help my wife is to have her pick a target towards the hole but 100+ ft away and on the ground. I then use the cue for her to throw through that target, this keeps her body and her arms from rising. Maybe trying to find a cue like that for Kelsey will help her throw more level and help keep the nose at a more level trajectory.
Kelsey is dropping her left shoulder during her throw which is causing the upward trajectory. Her trailing leg, left leg, is also sometimes dropping. Not sure if one is causing the other but the non throwing shoulder drop is common for people coming from throwing frisbees.
Brodie is actually a fantastic teacher 😂 Love these vlogs Brodie, love your excitement and enthusiasm about learning the game. As far as I can tell your doing everything right in the learning process, keep up the vids! Can’t wait to see you grow as a player throughout this year!
BB Owens was the first course I ever played and learned a lot there cutting my teeth. Also got my first ace on 7. Can't wait for you to get out to Harry Meyers in Rockwall or Towne Lake in Mckinney. Also if you get to make it to the Jimmy Porter minis you'll probably run into Emerson Keith. Great kid who finished 3rd at worlds on the final card with Paul. Find "DFW Disc Golf minis" on facebook and request to join. They list almost all the minis around DFW and start times.
Let's go! Besides learning I'm excited to see some more courses being played by you. Keep slinging those disk!
I love disc golf and seeing anyone tech or learn is bad ass. Salute to brodie
Sorry brother! Thought I was subscribed earlier but wanted to drop a line and say I'm a fan of your early work and stoked you're a part of the disc golf community now. Would love to play a round of you're ever in the central valley around Fresno, we have good people here broski.
Going to work on making a similar video with my girl after this inspiration.
Tell Kelsey she'll be Disc Golf sponsored before 2020 is out of she wants to be.
Much love, keep em flying
Untuck your pinky when you're putting. All it does is make the release more difficult to do consistently. There's a reason Ricky and Paul (arguably the best putters) don't do this. It feels strange at first but it's better. People will tell you it's a preference, but it's significantly more consistent than the pinky tuck putt.
Power grip for everything else!
yes!!!!!1 im colombian person but i love to see this videos
She should keep bend in her elbo when throwing. It's similar to the motion of starting a lawnmower. Well at least a gasoline engine lawnmower with a pull start that is. Also a good way to get here to keep the nose of the disc down is... To aim at a spot on the ground and continue to aim for a closer spot until she finds the correct angle of release.
Instead of nose down the disc also needs to be angled to the right for beginners. Released on an angle to the right the disc will get it's full flex and flight. She's doing great so far! Y'all are playing some of my home courses. I've been playing Disc Golf in the DFW area for about 25 years. I would love to join up with y'all for a round. I used to do disc golf photography and video as well so I'd be glad to help out with that too.
Your a good teacher man, hope she becomes just as great as you. Enjoy life.
I haven't been to your channel in a long time so congratulations on getting married
Brodie and Hannah vs Paul and Kelsey!!! That would be a good one!
Exactly whay i was thinking
Brodie, you Got me started on DISC Golf. I had JoMez Pro videos keep getting recommend months ago that peaked my interest. Now I played for the first time and it is really fun! I struggle with nose up and errant direction but I've been able to throw some over 350 ft. Really excited to practice and play more as it's pretty addicting once you see a couple pure throws lol
also for newbs, try to release the disc on the lower right hand corner of where your release "zone" is
Her first throw is better than 80% of my drives... /facepalm but I still love this game
Auto like in full effect. Great stuff as always, Brodie and Kelsey. You two are a great pair. My wife and I went and got a set of discs from sports replay store to use at the park we live across the street from that has an 18 hole course. Thanks for the inspiration. Will make walks with the baby a little more interesting!
The thing I see most with beginners is that there is no follow through on longer shots. Make sure you rotate all the way around at the release and you won't lose your momentum or change disc angle
Elbow below shoulder and hand below elbow = easy nose down for level and hyper shots. Kelsey is getting her hand above elbow before release which makes it impossible to get the nose down.
She has the best attitude. That's all that matter when you are trying to get better.
I haven't been disc golfing in probably 2 years now. Was never really good but it was fun. Been watching some of your disc golf videos and might have to go again some time and keep some of those tips in mind
Def get out there and play
Good old BB, been out there too many times.
Did you stop by Tree Love Disc Golf store across the street?
Next time you in the Carrollton area, if you stop in Dynamic Discs, go a few doors down and say hi to me at MrJims.Pizza I am working most of the time.
Bro once you’re able to get a full run up down you’re gonna be able to seriously crush it! You’re already throwing pretty far with a stand still and you’re just a big guy in general so I’m excited to see once you get it down!
hold a high elbow to keep the nose down. Pull from hig hin the back stroke, to low in the finish
Damn Kelsey picking up disc golf a lot quicker than ball golf. Go Kelsey!
I love the positive vibes that you and your wife have! Goals 2020!
Brodie, if you are in the DC area, you should check out Giles Run in Lorton. It was built on the grounds of the former Lorton Prison Colony. You should check it out. It has 4 different layouts, so the red to red is easy for Kelsey, while the white to white is a challenge for Paul. Would love to see you at one of the best courses I've played.
In such a short time, you are coaching like a pro. Hanging with, Paul has brought you a long way.
If she can focus on her torso it will help. She is leaning back which can cause more nose up throw. Shoulder in line with the front knee can help! Need more ladies in disc golf, good luck yall!
Kelsey you probably thought that Disc Golf was weird. Nice to see you trying!!! Hope you stick with it.
Kelsey!!!
Had the same problem with my wife throwing nose up. The way I got her to break was getting her to hold the disc up by her shoulder and finish like she is throwing it down by her waist.. once she started doing that it all worked out naturally in a few weeks.
Brodie...a thing Simon and Avery used a lot was the slo mo on their phone so you can really see the mistakes we’re making when we throw. Has helped me a lot!
Pretty good distance for her first time. And the approach shots were on point!
You should try having her make sure when she throws she has all of her weight on her right foot it will help with power from the left foot push/weight transfer and it will make her throw more nose down as well i noticed when i was having problems with nose up when i was throwing easy it was because I wasnt getting transfering to standing on my front foot
Brodie and Kelsey just make me smile
Paul and Kelsey vs Brodie and Hannah, that would be a fun doubles... Required to take at least one shot from each partner each hole. So there is some strategy as to when certain shots would be taken even if its not the best. I don't know, something like that sounds fun.
So good. Was wondering if Kelsey was gonna jump in with you. She’s a trooper. Great progress Brodie.
That first throw though 😮 My wife would be happy with that after two years of play 😄
Great content Brodie! Keep it up! Not sure if you read these, but one quick suggestion if I may - it looks like Kelsey doesn't actually have her pointer finger under the lip of the disc. Is that intentional? Almost every grip (power or fan) for driving is going to have your pointer finger as the release point, holding snuggly under the rim. I think that may be contributing to the nose up and early releases.
I think the heat and the Buzzzes are in the Z plastic, not the Big Z. Normal Z is usually somewhat transparent, whereas Big Z is not
The huge smile on Kelsey's face is what disc golf is all about.
Better be careful, she might steal that sponsorship away from you if she gets too good!
Lol!
She is already better then Quadruple Bogey Bro-D.
Dang, Kelsey is better at approach shots than I am after 3 years! lol
I so appreciate this video because I am just learning myself. It’s also nice to see how far you have come Brodie!
BB Owen Disc Golf Course! Nice little course we used to play when I lived in Dallas. Good luck out there Brodie!
Straddle putting may not be suitable for beginners outside 40ft. You really have to adjust for speed in a straddle stance. If I could suggest, for upshots 50ft+ stand shoulder to shoulder, no need for run up. And practice spin putting. Your hips will push your putt further and me personally I like to use a driver grip, which helps the spin putt be more effective and will also add a couple more feet to your shot.
Well, that was an amazing first throw from Kelsey. Great basic lessons. Things are looking up in the Smith discgolf world :-) … One of the things that I've noticed improves throwing drastically is the follow through (with the hips and left leg). You do it (some) Kelsey does it not.. That also usually takes care of the nose-up-hyzer thing. Follow through! Lean a little forwards, not backwards.
Wrist down or forward thumb parallel to forearm the more perpendicular the more nose up angle
Glad to see her wanting to learn! If she gets the right molds and learns a little bit more technique, she will crush!! And there’s not enough female disc golfers as it is.
Awesome to see you out there!!
5 mins from my house!!! Decent fun course
Love your content! Watch everyday! Great to see ya throwing some disc!
Hi Brodie, I’m just learning myself and I really enjoy your video’s, my wife also is learning and she watches the videos with me, we are getting better. Can’t wait for spring here in Iowa so we can get back out there and sling some disc. Keep the vids coming.
ALL BRODIE SMITH MERCH SHOULD HAVE DARK HORSE LOGO!!! It’s iconic at this point
BB OWEN!!!! Where I learned to play 22 months ago! Let's go!
Gotta get that elbow up and and leading the throw, with the hand on the outside of the disc.
Also having her throw the Meteor would probably be more helpful than the Buzzz to start off.
This is great, you can definitely tell she is athletic and is a quick learner! Keep slinging those discs!
A standstill back hand 365 feet up hill. I can't even do that with a run up x-step throwing down hill. Nice video Keep up the good work.
This content is what I want to see pros doing more often!
I hope this great video will inspire more women to play disc golf. Share this video with your significant other and hopefully they'll be up for finally giving disc golf s try. #discgolf
