Henric Hagman Reinvents his Game, wins Swedish National Tour (Q&A)

Earlier this year we welcomed two new Swedish players to Team Discmania. We picked these young athletes as Discmania representatives not only because their great skill sets on the course, but also their positive natural energy and ambition to get better in the game they love. Normally when we sign new names, we don’t necessarily […]

Suomenmestaruuden metsästys

Tarkoitukseni oli kirjoittaa aiheesta jo SM-kisojen jälkeen, mutta SM-kisoissa kokemani valaistus oman henkisen keskittymisen ja oikean mentaalisen asennoitumisen suhteen vaati paria testikisaa teoriani varmistamiseksi ja kirjaamista blogitekstiksi. Henkisesti raskaat SM-kisat SM-kisat olivat ja menivät. Ensimmäinen kierros oli tuttua peliäni, jota pystyin pelaamaan jo Turun Pro-tourilla. Huoletonta, rentoa tekemistä. Koko ajan ajatus oikeassa asiassa ja heitto timanttia. Helppoa […]

Sekapari-SM ja sekavat tunteet..

Yksi kesän tavoitteistani on saavuttaa kultainen SM-mitali. Tämän kesän aikana mahdollisuuksia on neljä: sekapari-, yksilö-, pari- ja joukkuegolfissa. Viime viikonloppuna pelattiin ensimmäinen vaihe, sekapari SM-kisat. Olimme parini Eveliinan (Salonen, Ex Team PG, nykyinen Team Prodigy Europe) kanssa pelillisesti todella korkealla tasolla koko kisan ajan. Hävisimme kärkisijan lopulta yhdellä heitolla päätyen hopeasta käydyn äkkikuolemaratkaisun jälkeen kolmossijalle. Onnittelut Hennalle […]

Pro Tour #2, Vihti

Pro-tourin kisasarja sai jatkoa viime viikonloppuna kotikentälläni, Vihdin Kaatiksella. Ennakkoon ajateltuna kisa tulisi olemaan rankka reissu tutuissa maisemissa; olihan aikataulussa kaksi kierrosta lauantaina ja yksi sunnuntaina. Yleensä yksikin kierros tuntuu rankalta treeneissä, mutta silloin tahti onkin hieman nopeampi ja heittoja tulee treenikierroksella enemmän kuin kisassa. Kisatahdissa heitettynä ei Kaatiskaan tunnu kovin rankalta. Jotain on siis […]

Pro Tour #1, Pori

Pro Tour saatiin käyntiin viikonloppuna Porissa. Kisa meni melko hyvin omalta osaltani, kolmas sija takataskuun.  Tässä on menty jo monta viikonloppua putkeen kisoissa, joten liekö pientä kisaväsymystä ilmassa kun ei oikein syttynyt kuin vasta viimeiselle kierrokselle. Ensimmäisellä kierroksella tuuri oli hieman enemmän puolellani ”läheltä-piti-OB-tilanteiden” kanssa. Toisella taas toiseen suuntaan aikalailla saman verran, joten siinä kierrosten […]

Introducing Team Discmania’s Eagle Wynne McMahon

First off, we always knew this kid has potential. Otherwise we wouldn’t have signed him up to Team Discmania at the end of last year. What we didn’t really expect was to see him playing in the lead card on the final round at one of the biggest PDGA National Tour events already in 2015. Hailing from […]
