Started Disc Golf in 2000

My dad began taking my brother and I to Morley Field, San Diego, in the early 2000s. We'd rent 1 disc each and play for $1. My dad, being a skilled traditional golfer, was competitive and showed us the ropes. I played on and off, renting discs, through secondary school. Began to compile my own discs during university and found the CSU: Fort Collins disc golf team my final year of university after playing Ultimate the year before. I began competing with the team and fell in love with the sport and the community. Been hooked since!

Working with my middle school in San Diego, CA to install a 9 hole course on their large field area so the Gym class could add disc golf to their curriculum. My wife and I volunteered 2 days to teach each gym class the basics of disc golf and throwing mechanics. They loved it and a few kids were naturals, with one even throwing a thumber ace in from about 200 ft (60 m) the 2nd day!

Putting each day with 3-4 days per week at the field focusing on one form issue at a time. I shoot to get at least 1 league round in each week to refresh my mental game and at least 1 casual round in per week.

Let the last shot go. Golf isn't about perfect. A positive attitude, at the right moment, can take you far in this sport.

Comment: "Hard to choose but here in Denver, CO at 5,280 ft (1,690 m) the Kotuku is the perfect overstability. Down at sea level I can still trust it to finish after a straighter flight."
