Hi frolfers!

Last week I announced at a Manchester Disc Golf committee meeting that I need to stand down from my role as Club Secretary. This is because I want to prioritise a healthy work/life balance with the new little family and the extra paid work that I’ve picked up.

I am thankful for those who invited me to contribute to the club as Secretary and to all those who have supported the club through the years of rapid growth/change. I’ve valued my opportunity to help shape the club’s communications around grassroots community values.

Yes, I will of course continue to be involved with club activities as a keen volunteer. I plan to continue leading Sunday Dubs and hope to chip in with maintenance and open days.

The friendships and community I enjoy at the course is very important to me. So please say hello if you see me about.

Peace. ✌️

The local disc golf course is looking great, as it usually does at this time of year. I’ve been quite busy recently and so haven’t been able to enjoy it as much as I would like.

’s Weekly Dubs is happening on Sunday, Mike will be hosting as I’m busy with a training course.

I’m still available for form coaching if you are looking at improving your technique. Send me a message.

Some play testing this morning of the new course currently being installed by Manchester Disc Golf into the lovely mature beech woods at Lilford Park, Leigh.

The layout is fun and offers a distinct challenge to the parkland style of Longford. The course is unfinished and there is lots of work still required to open some fairways, add some length, install necessary signage, and tweak the final design.

You are rewarded for staying in the narrow fairways while the lush rough is merciless. Just walking the course is a real treat.

Currently the front nine provides the better holes in my opinion. The back nine still needs a bit of reworking to account for recent storm damage.

Excited to see Manchester Disc Golf engage with the local community here, introducing new players to the wonders of frolf.

(SOLD OUT!) Last week to order my gift vouchers before Christmas.

Send me a message and we can sort out a disc golf coaching session or two for a friend or family member.

Sessions are available in Manchester and can be tailored to individuals, duos, or small groups. I’ve worked with beginners, intermediate players, and aspiring amateur competitors. See my website for reviews (link in bio).

I may not be able to compete at the moment while I work on my physio rehab, I’m still offering coaching and hosting dubs on behalf of the club.

Weekly Dubs is at Longford Park this Sunday morning. Link in bio.

The course is looking great. 🍂 🍁

So hyped, I just had to take a selfie!

This evening, in a race against the fading light, and thanks to my Glow Envy and Sexton Firebird, I managed to set a new course record!

-19 (38) from the shorts.

It may have been dark but I’ve played this course a thousand times (even played blindfold at the IceBowl).

And there was not a breath of wind, which was a surprise as autumn arrived in force today. 🌧 🍂

Sneaked an ace on the seventh with my Harp. Somehow saved the deuce from the cabbage on the 17th. Adrenaline sent my drive long on the 18th, but I drained the edge of circle putt for the new PB!

Shoutout to the Friday Frolf crew who were cheering me along while following the live scorecard on UDisc.

I’ve started running random draw, best disc doubles on behalf of this summer.

Well it felt like summer today. Alex and Aivus were lovely card mates. A great way to spend a Sunday morning.

Despite the passing equinox, there have been some cracking late summer evenings recently.

The Manchester Disc Golf course at Longford Park has been looking fantastic all spring and summer.

I’m still available for coaching sessions. Send me a message if there’s something you would like to work on. We can set you on the right direction in to the off season form work.

We are ready to open up our two-week pop up course in Wythenshawe Park, starting this Sunday August 15. We need your help! We need volunteers at the course every day to set it up, loan out discs, and teach people to play.

If you think you might be able to volunteer for a day or two, please fill in our volunteer form here:

Midday drills in the shade today. 🌞

Muscle memory is something that we use to our advantage when learning new physical skills. But it can also be a challenge to rewrite it when fixing unwanted habits.

As a coach, there are strategies that I can utilise to help you recognise cues and develop new patterns.

However, it also requires discipline from the player. Practice makes permanent. So when you are doing form work, I recommend shorter periods where your approach is intentional, focussed, deliberate. When concentration wanes, move on. Rehydrate, rest, do something else.
