The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
No matter where you live I'm sure we've all found ourselves playing disc golf on a windy day. I never look forward to putting when it's really windy out because of some horrific experiences and some horrific stories. I've always heard about putts that have stuck in the chains only to have the wind blow them out but I've never actually SEEN this until now.
The video as a whole is excellent but skip to 5:40 and watch it all the way until 6:45. I know there are some variables that went into that happening (nose up, high on the basket) but to have it happen twice in a tournament from the distance he was at...gutting.
Anybody had a similar experience?

...brutal for Jussi...
In extreme wind don't use a putter with a big flat rim that the wind is going to catch. Use a stable driver like a TeeBird and it will cut the wind. But there just isn't much room for error in extreme wind.
As far as the video goes, he didn't learn his lesson after the first putt. He still went high the second time with the exact same results. The third time he finally did it right. Keep that nose down!
