Great resource for PE Teachers
This book is particularly great for any PE teacher that wants to include a unit on disc golf. As someone with almost 30 years experience in physical education, I can say the text is easy to understand and covers all the basics. The teaching progressions and tips are very good, and the authors have done a great job explaining and illustrating everything.
