"When should I sign up for my first tournament?" Whether you've been playing for two weeks or two years, for those looking to take that next step in their game this question will often come up. The answer is tough to find because it truly varies from person to person. I played for several years until I played my first event, but I know others who found success playing events very early in their disc golf career.
The better question is what will my first tournament experience be like? That is a tough thing to discuss unless you see it happen in front of you. Which is exactly what today's video is all about. We had the opportunity to follow someone through their first-ever tournament experience and have them document the entire process. How did it go for them? What lessons can be learned to help all of us? You'll have to watch to find out!!

Hey guys, Justin from the video here. I appreciate the vibes and if I can give just one person the confidence to put themselves out there and give it a go then this was all worth it! I'm sitting here recovering from covid (no wonder I was so gassed on sunday)and have nothing to do, so I'm happy to answer (almost) any questions. 😂

Totally agree with Mech, I had only been playing for 6 months before my first tournament. It was brutal, really strong winds, rain and snow. Conditions we just don’t practice in. But you just hang in there, everyone is in the same boat. Now I am addicted to tournaments and scour the country for the next one. The biggest mistake I made was setting myself too high a goal. I wanted to come second, why, I don’t know. I was 6 shots behind after the first round and started the second really well, closing the 6 shots down early in the round. Then thought I would have a go at first so pushed where I should have just maintained my score. Ended up third and disappointed, which was so stupid. I’m extremely competitive so I guess that’s the problem but just go have fun and aim for par.

Justin also helped me the last day whether he knows it or not. He was coming off the course as my tee-time approached. We talked a bit about his round and what he learned, but he seemed way more interested in encouraging me and getting me believing that I could do what I needed to close out a great weekend. That small convo helped recenter my thoughts before starting and it had an impact. Glad I got to witness the growth Justin had this weekend and looking forward to seeing him in more tournaments! More than that, Im looking forward to playing rounds with him more often! Awesome weekend man, and thanks for being willing to do this for everyone.

Justin, thank you for the willingness to share your experience with us! I am a 41 year old that just started disc golfing in May of this year. My oldest daughter introduced the sport to our family after she took it as a class in college. We have really enjoyed learning more about this sport and playing together. So, when you shared that you really enjoy playing with your family and that we are of similar age, it was nice to have something in common! I'm not sure if a tournament is in my future, but if it is I will take some of the things you learned and shared with me. Thanks again!

Never competed before. I am very nervous due to being 41 and not in my greatest shape of my life. Hope I'm able to at least finish the tournament.

I have been playing since 2014, but have actually put more effort into my game in the last 3 years. I have never played a tournament not because I don’t want to, but because I’m a chef and just don’t have the time off to compete. My friends at the shop always encourage me to sign up for one. I do play tags from time to time. Rock on Justin keep at it.

ABSOLUTE AWESOME INSITE! I love how your guest Justin's attitude is "Hey nothing life or death here." You are 100% right that you can't talk yourself into this being just another round, however you can talk yourself into a mind set of "Hey I'm going to play to the extent of my talent and experience and learn from this." When I played my first tournament I had no expectations other than coming in last. I didn't know Robbie C channel at the time, but I know it would have helped. Robbie helped me through other tournaments when I felt horrible about my play. Amazing video as always, the most helpful RU-vid channel for disc golf in my opinion.

Also, your affection to your family hit me in the feels. I can totally relate to that, as the majority of my rounds are with my kids and their support means so much more than a good tournament performance. In my last tournament, I played so badly and almost came in last place. I got home and my daughter asked me how I did, I told her “not too well, but I had fun” and she said “you’re my favorite disc golfer” so the bad round feelings all went away and that’s what I plan to focus on for my upcoming tournaments and leagues!

This was awesome! My first tourny last year was 4 months after starting to play. Starting forehand 98%of shots but my arm couldn't take it so about 2 months b4 tourny I strictly played backhand no matter the score, probably a great choice, I learn fast so I was able to get a serviceable throw. I ended up middle of the pack out of 40 players and couldn't be happier. Out of all the people I played with that day nobody made me feel like I didn't belong and if any of you find somebody that treats you differently, I promise, they don't belong. Have fun out there!

I started signing up for tournaments as soon as I knew most of the rules and could throw without complete embarrassment. About 4 months after starting. I love it. The butterflies of throwing on a card where you don't know anyone, lots of strangers watching. I think I was +27 or so. A) everyone out there was completely supportive, B) I've met so many nice people, and a number of them are regular playing buddies, C) I know I've gotten better for playing in tournaments. I still get nervous, but honestly it's something I like experiencing. I played with a pro once who was astounded that I'd only been playing a few months. He said he didn't have the courage to play in one until he'd been playing a couple years. He said he wished he had played in them earlier on.

I'm 53 years old and have been playing almost exactly one year. Played my first tournament last weekend. Two-round, C-tier event at Lake Olmstead in Augusta (pretty tough course). I probably should have played MA4 but they didn't have that division, so I did MA3. Shot a +26 and +21. Had bad nerves the first round, for sure, but it was slightly better in the second. The weather was only 83 degrees but near 100% humidity. It was brutal. Very hard to grip some of the slicker plastics and the chalk bag didn't help much. In the end, I came in dead last in my division, ten strokes behind the next guy. I'd really hoped for better but whatevs... need to cut myself a little slack, right? Just signed up for the Augusta Classic, a three-round, three-course event over two days. MA4 division this time. It's about five weeks out. I'm probably going to do a LOT more putting practice between now and then.

I started playing disc golf in July 2020 and entered my first tournament in May 2021. So roughly 10 months I been playing, it was a B tier and I was a 35yr old smoker so I didn't really have a lot of high expectations. Surprisingly I tied for 1st place on day 1 at 3+ and on day 2 I was 5- for a 2- total I won by 7 strokes. I still can't believe it. Now I'm trying to get myself ready for next Saturday to play the Rec division for the same event. "Hitmewithyourbestshot" in Athens,TN. Congrats and awesome job to Justin on your event and this video. Robbie C. Thank you for everything you do as a person and a player and coach. Keep doing what you do.

3 Weeks before my first tournament, in 2003 I shot what is still my best round ever at that course...6 down. 11 down on the front! On the first day, I shot what is still the worst round I've ever scored, + 18. The last two rounds were rough, because I was working 11pm to 7am at that time, and first round started at 830, and second round started at 1pm. We finished at 6pm. I averaged like 8 over those last two rounds. I think I was dead last....and got maybe 3 hours of sleep between Thursday and Monday. Was some of the most fun I've ever had on the course. Hoss did awesome for his first tournament! Some day, my 3 boys will be old enough to tag along without messing up everyone else on the card....heh. Dad goals.

I played my first tournament at about 10 months in. The course was a monster and even the best players in our Novice class were shooting +20 for the two rounds. Less than half of the pros shot under par for the two rounds! That being said, I car pooled up with one of the Advanced players from my local club The Alberni Valley Disc Golf Club in Port Alberni, BC, (the tournament was about an hour away in Nanaimo, BC), and we talked a bit about the course. The best part was getting to know the regulars in the Novice class. Locally the Novice and Recreational classes are pretty much interchangeable, and you always get one or the other in a tournament, never both so we always end up playing together. Now, 4 tournaments in we look forward to seeing one another, and frankly, my goal is to get to Intermediate by the end of the year but i don't really want to leave those people... decisions, decisions.

This video was awesome. Big shout out to Justin. As for me, been playing just a little over a year and have never played in a DG tournament. I want my game to be more consistent, especially off of the tee, where I feel like I am throwing in a sprinkler-like pattern, despite the stability of the discs. FYI, the fastest disc I throw is only an 8 speed.

It was to join my local club and play some league events. It's been one of the best experiences of my recent life. On my first league event, I scored 3rd to the worst, learned a lot and had an awesome time. Thanks to Justin for his courage and authenticity and to Robbie and crew for bringing this great content.

Cool to see this from another person. I started playing regularly last fall and I played in my first tournament earlier this summer. His shot on the first hole made me think about my first shot on my Friday round. Very short, open hole. I play LHBH and I yanked it hard to the left into the bushes about 30' ahead of me. When we played the same course again Sunday I threw about 10 discs on that first hole before my morning round started and all landed within C2. I got up to the tee with my group for my real shot and threw the exact same shank as first round. Can be so different playing competitively, but can also be so much fun. Seems like most people out there in the amateur divisions are just out to have fun and are super supportive.

Pretty sick dyes there too dude. Great job Robbie C on this topic. As someone who struggled to decide when to play a tournament the first time I think some hesitate to take the chance, but also understand the love of casual play too. I am a very competitive person with myself and in competition. This is one of my struggles in tourneys. Keeping the mentality in good vibes and keep with the plan.

I bought my first DG disc's in March of 2021. I played my first unsanctioned event a multi course flex start about a year after and have played a 2 day C Tier and 1 day C Tier events. I'm going to play my first A Tier 3 day event at the end of the month. I was shocked how deep I got in my head during the first event. playing a course I had lots of experience on. I realized after 9 holes I needed to recalibrate and play the shots I knew I had. I've both planned practice rounds and played blind. I'd always rather have at least 1 round in on a course. Keeping it light / positive is an active choice that takes work. I know I can improve at this.

The stamina for that isn't something people typically practice. I got into Disc Golf for Family Time, and have played 95% with them but before I think about playing a tourney I'd need to play more than a handful of rounds with people I don't know - to see how I'd handle it, handling the poor shot (and the good ones).

I am the same age as Justin (41) and have been playing for 1 year though I had Ultimate experience in college 20+ years ago. My goal this year was to join a league and hopefully my first tournament, but the summer is coming to a close and I haven't accomplished either of those yet. The only thing holding me back is me. I am introverted around strangers but extroverted once I get to know people. The idea of getting out and playing with strangers holds me back mentally so much that I don't even give myself the chance. I think it will happen soon and this video definitely helped.

Mad props to you Justin, your play and attitude were really impressive. I recall my first tourney being really nervous about following the rules and etiquette as well. Specifically, I was so concerned about having a mini(I brought 4 with me) and whether or not I was going to use it correctly haha. My main struggle for tournaments is sticking to my game and game plan. Example: My last tournament was at a course I had played several times. I always play a forehand on #1, which a great shot will usually get me to 20-25 ft. The first three players threw a big sky hyzer to park the hole. I decided to throw that line, even though I was pretty sure that I didn’t have the power. I need hitting a tree, and took a bogey. In the second round, I stuck to my game plan and made birdie! Make a game plan for yourself, and stick to it!

I think Justin did a great job! I'm a newB and it'd take A LOT to drag me out in front of a camera in a tournament with this skill level. Thanks to you and Justin for taking us through this journey. Bet Justin will CRUSH IT next time he's in a tournament!

This video is right on time!! Playing my first tournament after 2 solid years of really playing more seriously. I was specifically looking for a pre-first-tournament video (hoping I would find one on your channel, Robbie). This delivered in spades. Justin, thank you so so so very much for making yourself vulnerable and sharing this experience and taking us on this trip with you. I'm honestly touched you were willing to do so for we viewers. Thank you both again. This was great content and congrats Justin on your first event!! ✌🏼

First step is always just getting out there man, great work I’m doing a double with a buddy of mine in September for our work and I’ve only been throwing for 4 months so I’m right there with ya. Now you’ll do better next time knowing what to expect.

Kudos Justin, thanks for sharing your first tourney experience, it is really nerve racking to play under the pressure of tournaments, but to aslo put that experience out for us all to see is super courageous!! Also, great that your family plays with you, throwing discs with my son is such a good feeling!!

I think Justin did really well for his first tournament, AND blogging everything with it, so congrats Justin for the hard work! I've been playing for about 6ish years now and haven't played a single tournament, mainly because I work weekend overnights and because of my contract I can only take off so many weekends. Since tournaments are predominantly on the weekends this poses a logistical problem for me. Would I like to play in a tournament? Absolutely but I make my money on the weekends and for now playing casual and going to leagues is enough for me. Maybe someday I'll jump in and try to play a tournament, but for now work takes presidents over play.

Justin - awesome job man. I have been talking myself out of tournaments for a while now to save embarrassment. I notoriously throw bad shots when i have to play through groups at my local courses.. Really bad stage fright i guess lol. Thanks for doing this and giving us casuals the confidence to just get out there.
