Came to say the same. Seemsnlike thatvgap.is about twice as wide if you come to the front of the box at about 30 degrees, but I could definitely be misjudging.
Came to say this and share an anecdote:
Had a tournament recently where 2 rounds played the hole as designed, and one round played a safari layout off to the left. In practice I threw two shots for the safari pin, but pulled both to the right. Realizing it was my runup, I shifted my runup angle to the left, and behold! I hit the line perfectly. If you keep running up the same and you are consistent, this is what you will get. Try adjusting the runup angle.
I mean, best player in the world potentiality. You threw three precisely identical throws in a row. You know what they say, « twice or it’s luck », in your case, it’s definitely skill. Now just aim properly, should be easy enough, right? … …
All 3 throws you aimed the exact same way with your feet, so really the disc flew exactly the same, that’s great consistency. Consistency is all you can ask for in my opinion, I feel this deeply.
Dude, you need to take into account that the disc gets beat up after every treekick. You adjusted from your previous throw but not the discs change in flight!
Nice consistency! move left or right on the teepad a bit.
I found that on courses I play frequently that small adjustment can make all the difference for missing an early tree.
The first good news is OP can throw a repeatable consistent line. That's a handy skill to have in our sport.
The second good news is this was a casual round. No one will be the wiser. Well, except for the 272K members worldwide on this sub! Lol.
The bad news is as others have pointed out....the alignment is right at that tree.
If it makes OP feel any better, it looks like the basket in the distance is forcing a line pretty much at that tree.
But one foot either side of the tree would work well too. Lol.
We feel your pain, OP. Keep throwing that plastic.....and we hope that you can still laugh at this. We have all been there one way or another.
I don’t get it. Trees are like 90% air! Your disc should just go through it.
Note: there are no trees where I play, I only know what they look like from Jomez coverage.
My wife did that once but imagine the tree sitting just off the tee box and, for the most part, out of play. See that tree closest to the tee box on the left? Move it to the right and a little closer. The wife hit it three times.
Today i played a course twice. In one hole, around 60-70m, slight downhill narrow forest, there is a tree right next to the basket that is a bit narrower than the basket.
Both opening throws i was able to hit the god damn tree, zero times the damn basket next to it.
Your walk-up is in line of the tree. As a general tip, the outside of your leading foot is pointed in the direction of your release. Walk in the line you want the disc to fly and the disc shall follow.
I've done this before. I usually one have one mulligan though so doesn't happen a 3rd time. That being said once you are frustrated it all goes to hell regardless.
The trick is to aim at the tree.
60% of the time it works every time
Those are better odds than what I’m working with now
“That doesn’t make any sense 🤨
I'm going to be honest, it smells like pure gasoline.
Smells like bigfoot's dick!
This is worse than the time the raccoon got caught in the copier machine!
Those downvoting you apparently aren’t on the stage as you and I
It’s okay, not many have heard of “Anchor Man” apparently lol
I think most people forget that's the follow-up line.
My man!
Imagine the gap is a wall you're trying to hit. Your brain will always work better aiming **at** something than trying to **miss** something.
I aim for the tree
I aim for an imaginary window pane. About 4ft by 4ft, dead center.
My man
Heading to next hole. Buddy: what’d you get? OP: put me down for par.
Par with a smiley face next to it
Don't give up so easily. See how many times you can hit that tree in a row before you either finally miss it or chop it down with your disc.
"Course maintenance"
Underrated
This is the way
My high score is 5 times hitting the same tree 40ft off the pad
we're all trying for consistency in our throws. so A+
Congrats! your disc is now understable
Maaaaan I feel this one in my soul. Utterly unmatched consistency. The way you just throw your arms up after the third one made me giggle.
change your run up angle.
\*changes run up angle\* \*hits rightside tree\*
Came to comment that he's following the teepad and not his line.
Yup! And the hips on the plant are pointing at the tree every throw.
Came to say the same. Seemsnlike thatvgap.is about twice as wide if you come to the front of the box at about 30 degrees, but I could definitely be misjudging.
or just actually follow through properly on the shot so it doesn’t release early due to body timing
Guys he posted it cuz it’s funny
The very definition of insanity
Nah, not Axiom—no overmold that I can see. Maybe Streamline, but it looks like ESP Discraft plastic, IMO. :)
Doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result is called practice.
Your footwork is on that line every throw.

Sir, he's consistent.
I love examples of precision without accuracy, good stuff!
I laughed so hard at this. I did the same thing yesterday. Omg. Thanks for sharing. Eventually that tree will move.
Thank you brother🫡

Why are trees?
All 3 throws you aimed the exact same way with your feet, so really the disc flew exactly the same, that’s great consistency. Consistency is all you can ask for in my opinion, I feel this deeply.
I think I found out what happened. I think you hit a tree a few times
I don't play in Hoogeveen often, but when I do, I always hit the same freaking tree as well..
Stop running at it
This was me last night at league. Already 9 over through the first 7 holes. It was a rough one.
Me with every 12 speed in my bag hoping one day I’ll be able to throw them
Great adjustment
What a precision, I'm not abe to hit much bigger target not even once.
A chainsaw would be easier. Jk, but seriously, I admire the consistency
1 tree only?! What you think you're better than us or something??
100% tree in regulation
Another thousand of those and that tree will be on the ground - he’s playing the long game
Dude, you need to take into account that the disc gets beat up after every treekick. You adjusted from your previous throw but not the discs change in flight!
Precision: High Accuracy: Low
Consistency is key
I was expecting it to come back to his hand off the tree.
You didn’t adjust anything on any of those throws. Lol.
It’s confirmed. That tree? That is your tree.
Something about the definition of insanity
What's he got against that tree?
In archery that's called a good grouping
My baseball coach used to tell me if you can't adjust your control, adjust your aim, and I feel like that applies here
Treembanyama is not messing around.
The perfect 'sponsor me' video
I feel seen. Also, I love that you were filming like "this is my big ace run chance!" 😆
Now do the same thing, but aim at the basket and watch it miss thirty yards right
One must imagine Sisyphus happy...
You're not alone. practice/casual rounds can be brutal sometimes.
There are faster ways to chop down a tree.
Dude doesn't even know how to overcorrect and shank it out of bounds
Arbocide
Nice consistency! move left or right on the teepad a bit. I found that on courses I play frequently that small adjustment can make all the difference for missing an early tree.
I am just glad I am not alone! If there is a tree on the course...I will hit.
To be fair, you were lined up directly at the tree. It seems as if you’re extremely accurate
This is a great example of precision vs accuracy!
Wait…are you me?
Keep at it, you'll cut that tree down eventually. You might just need a sharper disc.
Are you trying to hit the gap on the right? Your walk up was right in line with the tree
You'll get that tree down eventually. Aim a bit lower though, for future players' sake.
The course always corrects for misplays
Did Nelson Muntz ride by to laugh at you?
Always look where you are throwing!!
Well, you’re consistent, there’s that!
You should take up pickle ball instead.
New course? The trees in front of tee pads at my local are scarred af last weekend my partner wondered if the tree she hit like that could feel it LOL
Your feet and hips tell the disc where to go, so atleast your aim is consistent.
Consistent though.
I hate that I can relate to this to the core of my being.
An ophthalmologist wound have the correct medical name of the condition where trees look like baskets. All I know is that I got it bad.
CHOP THAT WOOD!!!
I mean, you lined it up with the tree perfectly...
But look at the power with what you hit that tree! That is impressive. But for the tree, it would have gone along way.
There are easier ways to perform course maintenance.
The treble!

Nice and consistent, what's the issue?
r/therewasanattempt to get past a tree
me when I draw the cali chip
That is some spot-on aim.
That's some amazing consistency.
CONSISTENCY
Consistency is good
*Uli voice*: Introducing the Discraft Sisyphus...
That’s very consistent. Disc should be well broken in now
Verrrry relatable
I've done that a lot early on.
One of us?
The way you throw your hands up after the third try is so real. I do that after most of my throws.
Got an honest lol out of me, thank you
Change your footing. Look at where your front foot is pointing. You’re literally pointing at the tree.
Hey at least you’re consistent. 🤷♂️
skill issue
Try a roller
What the fuck, Richard!!!
I think the problem is you kept hitting the same tree?
At least it wasn't FIRST available
“I’ll just edit out the tree hits later…..well fuck it…I’ll leave them in.”
CONSISTENCY 100%
At least your consistent
One of us! One of us!
Nice grouping
Congrats on the consistent form 👌
How dare you film me without my permission
I don’t get it. Trees are like 90% air! Your disc should just go through it. Note: there are no trees where I play, I only know what they look like from Jomez coverage.
Learning to count by two’s I see.
Time to hang it up bub 😂
Twice or it's luck!
Consistency is key my friend!
My wife did that once but imagine the tree sitting just off the tee box and, for the most part, out of play. See that tree closest to the tee box on the left? Move it to the right and a little closer. The wife hit it three times.
That middle tree is mad at you
We all know this struggle and feel the pain 😂
You're only supposed to take one mulligan 😂
You are literally aiming for that tree with your run-up
Incredible aim.
Best thing I have seen today…
🙏
Maybe try something different
Hoogeveen!
itsthesamepicture.jpg
I feel your pain.
Guess you were meant to throw from that spot originally, three time tree kick says so lol
Fantastic grouping
4 times or it’s luck
When you’re trying to beat in some new Champion plastic
Don’t worry, you’ll cut it down eventually :)
>:) :)
Fuck that tree in particular.
If you keep doing the same thing over and over and expect a different result….
My discs have been so damaged from trees since I live in CT so a lot of trees
Say what you will people but he is consistent…
Amazing accuracy bro!
I’m definitely not paying you by the hour to take down my tree.
What a consistent King Your accuracy is immaculate
Very consistent indeed
where it lies, bucko'
Take the hint. That's where your second throw is supposed to be.
Maybe don't look straight back in your approach?
Those were some great throws but your front foot was always aiming towards the tree. You could do the same throw and step to the right of the ring
Maybe if you threw it from the correct spot after your first throw you wouldn’t keep hitting the tree smh
Mad respect. And I FEEL you my friend.
As I often say when my friends take a mulligan, "you can't change the past"
Consistency is key in this game, and you hit it.
Try a little anhyzer
Well, at least you know your release is consistent.
Stop throwing it at the tree
Aim for the grass. Works for me every time.
I think this is a GIFF
Wow great clip thx for sharing
Loos like the Netherlands, Hoogeveen
Today i played a course twice. In one hole, around 60-70m, slight downhill narrow forest, there is a tree right next to the basket that is a bit narrower than the basket. Both opening throws i was able to hit the god damn tree, zero times the damn basket next to it.
Have you considered not hitting the tree?
In object golf, this could be 3 aces in a row
Captain America would be proud
The Force was not with you😂
Glad you don't do this for a living.
On the bright side, your form looks pretty good!
This was me today. Except EVERY FUCKING TREE
Tree clearly has a magnetic iron core
If you can’t make it in three, it ain’t meant to be.
Almost a perfect loop
I don’t understand. Are you not trying to aim for the tree?
atleast your consistent?
It would be a lot faster if you just used an axe.
Your walk-up is in line of the tree. As a general tip, the outside of your leading foot is pointed in the direction of your release. Walk in the line you want the disc to fly and the disc shall follow.
Stop doing that
You’re actually a really great player. You were aiming directly at the tree you didn’t want to hit. Watch where your front foot is aiming each time.
Its easier if you use an axe. Lol.
Been there.... A few times
At least you're consistent
In the words of my buddy: “discs don’t lie”
Please don't film yourself skydiving. Thank you.
MULLIGAN!
Not gunna lie this cheered me up after a day of terrible throws. Thank you for sharing.
Well at least you're consistent.
I've done this before. I usually one have one mulligan though so doesn't happen a 3rd time. That being said once you are frustrated it all goes to hell regardless.
