*Southpaws Tip of the week-
By incorporating these tips into your practice routine and gameplay, you can improve your accuracy and consistency when navigating tight fairways in disc golf. Enjoy the process of learning and mastering the art of precision shots on the course!

1. **Field Work:** Practice in an open field before taking on tight fairways. Work on your form, release angles, and shot shapes to build confidence in hitting specific lines.

2. **Disc Selection:** Experiment with different discs to find ones that work best for you in tight fairway situations. Understand the flight characteristics of each disc in your bag and choose the one that fits the fairway shape and distance.

3. **Focus on Accuracy, Not Distance:** In tight fairway situations, precision is key. Focus on hitting your intended line rather than trying to throw for maximum distance. Accuracy will help you navigate the fairway more successfully.

4. **Course Management:** Study the fairway layout before your shot. Identify potential obstacles, landing zones, and the best route to the basket. Develop a game plan based on the fairway's shape and features to increase your chances of success.

5. **Choose the Right Disc:** Select a disc that matches your skill level and the distance of the fairway. For tight fairways, you may want to consider using mid-range or fairway driver discs that offer better control.

6. **Practice Your Technique:** Focus on your throwing technique, including your grip, stance, reach back, and follow-through. Smooth and controlled throws are essential for hitting tight fairways accurately.

7. **Visualize Your Line:** Before throwing, visualize the line you want your disc to follow through the fairway. This mental preparation can help you stay focused and improve your accuracy.

8. **Start Slow and Accelerate:** Begin your throw slowly and gradually accelerate to generate power. This technique can help you maintain control and hit your intended line more consistently.

9. **Play Smart:** Instead of always going for the most direct route, consider the safest and most reliable path through the fairway. Sometimes a controlled, accurate shot is better than attempting a risky line.
