What is actually in a lesson?
Four things, on top of the video. Why it matters — explained in strokes, not encouragement. How to do it — the method as numbered steps. What goes wrong — the faults that actually happen, each paired with its fix. And a drill with a number to hit, like “20 putts from 15 ft” or “10 throws from 45 ft” — never “practise regularly”. That runs to around 330 words a lesson, and all 134 are written this way.
How do I get better at disc golf?
Improvement comes from structured practice, not just more rounds. Disc Golf Go organizes the game into 13 skill paths — putting, driving, forehand, course strategy, mental game and more — with short video lessons from touring pros and the top coaching channels so you always know what to work on next.
Which pros are featured in the lessons?
Lessons draw on 62 creators — touring pros plus the channels that do the most disc golf teaching. Pros include Gannon Buhr, Scott Stokely, Paul McBeth, Ricky Wysocki, Simon Lizotte, Eagle McMahon, Kristin Tattar, Paige Pierce, Nate Sexton, Calvin Heimburg, Paul Ulibarri, Isaac Robinson, Chris Dickerson, Eric Oakley and Ezra Aderhold; channels include Dynamic Discs, Latitude 64, JustDisc, Overthrow Disc Golf, Robbie C, Gladiator and the PDGA.
What disc should a beginner throw?
Start with a putter and a lightweight, understable midrange or fairway driver. Lighter, understable plastic is easier to throw straight and flies farther for a new player than a fast, overstable distance driver. See our beginner disc guide for specifics.
Do I need to be at a course to use the app?
No. The training lessons work anywhere with no GPS required — practice in your yard or study on the couch, and play a Throw Lab round wherever you are. GPS is only used for optional course check-ins when you want to log a round at one of 1,500+ real courses.
What is Throw Lab?
Throw Lab is a disc golf game built into the app. You tap to set your power and your release angle, and the disc flies on its real flight numbers — fade and all. Play a quick 3, 6 or 9-hole round on one of 21 illustrated holes, or pick any of 1,500+ real courses and play its actual holes and lengths. Rounds earn XP, advance daily, weekly, monthly and lifetime challenges, and rank you on a Throw Lab leaderboard of its own.
Is there a tournament?
Yes — a new one every week. One course is drawn at random on Monday and it is the same 18 holes for every player in the app. You get two attempts, and an attempt is spent the moment you tee off, so leaving a bad round part-way through still uses one. The better of your two scores counts, and ties go to whoever posted first.
What is the Players Lounge?
A feed of the newest videos from 27 disc golf channels — tournament coverage, disc reviews, vlogs and coaching — refreshed every day. The ten most recent sit at the top and the rest are grouped by creator. Instructional videos are also filtered out into the training section, so lessons and entertainment stay separate.
How does earning XP work?
You earn XP by completing lessons and a rotating daily challenge. XP raises your skill tier and climbs the leaderboard, and finishing a lesson unlocks that pro's video in your Creators vault.
