There are differences between disc golf discs you should understand if you are planning to make an impact in the sport. Simply grabbing a frisbee disc and throwing it may be fun for awhile but you won't make much impression on your rivals.

A disc golf set is like your golf club set in traditional golf. Clubs for driving, approach shots, chipping and putting. In disc golf, it's no different except the tool you're using to make the shot is different.

Let's narrow the shot selection down to four. In disc golf you would need a:

- Distance driver

- Fairway driver

- Mid-range

- Putt & approach

Let's take a look at each one individually. Each of the discs mentioned above have a role to play and when you use them as a team on each hole you play and really practice using them individually you will take your game to another level and start to tear up disc golf courses.

Disc Golf Discs

#1. Distance drivers are like your driving woods. They are designed to extract maximum distance from your "tee-off" efforts. Just remember to gain the most distance quite often it has nothing to do with the strength of the throw but more to do with technique.

#2. Fairway drivers are often misunderstood by traditional golfers and in a sense, they are also under utilized by disc golfers. Fairway drivers are great tools when you want to get some accuracy going in your game and not only that, they will get you distance as well. If you aren't using your fairway driver disc enough then go and practice with it...it will add a new dimension to your game.

#3. Mid range discs are like your irons. They can cover a variety of distances from long to medium approach shots and are probably the most used disc in your disc bag.

#4. The putt and approach disc is like the final relay runner and it's the one that takes you home. Just like each of the above, the putt and approach is a skill all on it's own and needs to be practiced just as much as the longer hitting discs.

There are two other discs we haven't mentioned but this article is for serious players who are serious about improving their game. Specialty discs are more old school and will often be used in unique situations while recreational dics are just that - for having fun but don't underestimate their effectiveness to sharpen up your skills even when you are in fun mode.

Disney's take on this historical confrontation between European settlers and Native Americans follows the paths of two future lovers. One is British adventurer John Smith, who travels the Atlantic with the Virginia Company to establish Jamestown. On the shore is Pocahontas, a typical Disney heroine: bright, beautiful, mischievous, and motherless. The two meet in the untamed wilds of America (the first meeting is quite divine), fall in love, and try to ward off the warring factions. It's Disney's version of a Native American West Side Story. Two Disney trademarks do not quite muster up: the villain isn't hissable and the score's only high point is the Oscar-winning "Colors of the Wind." Calling it "historical" is a stretch, but Disney created a very natural look at the two cultures. The Native American characters are handled especially well, and kids should be intrigued by their world; the movie is a far different lesson from the one their parents and grandparents learned. Disney has

Tiger developer EA Tiburon believed they had the full-motion golf swing down in 2009 using the addition of the Wii MotionPlus peripheral, but with this game, they affirm they have it dialed in. Seriously now, the franchise's second bout with the MotionPlus brings a fresh dimension to your swing that gives greater results. In a curious way, it adds up the possibility of even more inconsistency to a swing without wrecking the whole experience. The series carries on to tinker around the edges, making minor improvements that are generally welcome.

In Tiger 10, the MotionPlus peripheral was primarily occupied with whether your wrists were bent or not as you hit the ball. Your wrists are still crucial, but now the game also registers your follow-through. It could be a subtle change that does not factor in all your swings, but it is most welcome for it further codifies what establishes a good technique and what that feels like. If you do not want to use the new motion you will be able to revert to the old one via the game's detailed system of assists and difficulty levels that you could mix and match, like whether you want to use the waggle-style spin. One recommended turning on is the TrueView camera, which is a first-person view the ball as you size it up and watch it (hopefully) breeze through the air. Once more, the career mode (comprising of skills challenges against pros, a PGA tour schedule, and the Ryder Cup) has been fine-tuned, this time with a more calculated approach towards attribute points and modifiers. Clubs - and not shafts or clothes - are the only item that bestows stat bonuses, and you're only granted to give one of your four attributes an impermanent stat bump prior to most challenges or tourney rounds. This approach lags the stat-jacked characters of the past, but it is also not as fun.The inclusion of the Ryder Cup is most welcome, but even though the tourney's format is mostly the same, it's a little weird that the CPU won't abide by the nationality rules (Americans vs. Europeans) that make the Cup what it is. The Ryder Cup is also online, like is last year's disc golf.

Tiger 11 is a full-fledged game having a motion-based swing and not just a flimsy curiosity.

• Trade your clubs for discs in a fun, new game mode based on the family-fun sport of Disc Golf. Play from custom tee locations on all 27 courses in the game.
• The included Wii MotionPlus accessory elevates your game with an enhanced, true-to-life golf swing that features precise draw-fade capabilities and authentic sports motion which mirrors your every move.
• For the first time ever, feel the drama of playing in the US Open, one of golf¿s biggest¿and toughest¿tournaments of the year.
• Replay dramatic scenarios from past PGA Tour seasons as you¿re placed on the course at the precise moment before history was made¿only this time, you determine the outcome.
• Play alongside actual PGA Tour Pros during real-world PGA tour events or swing away in daily and weekly tournaments as you fight to stay atop the leaderboard.

Feel the drama of playing professional tournament golf like never before with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10. For the first time in the history of Electronic Arts' much lauded golf simulation franchise, players can take aim at capturing the US Open Championship on the ever-challenging Bethpage Black. .caption { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; } ul.indent { list-style: inside disc; text-indent: -15px; } table.callout { font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1. 3em; } td.vgoverview { height: 125px; background: #9DC4D8 url(http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/callout-bg.png) repeat-x; border-left: 1px solid #999999; border-right: 1px solid #999999; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; width: 250px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; } Playing in front of huge galleries and hearing crowd reactions from nearby holes, take your game to the
