Disc Golf Career

Amateur
Started Disc Golf in 2020

How did you discover Disc Golf?

I discovered disc golf through Youtube. The simplicity of the sport and the ability to just go and play made me love it!

What is your proudest Disc Golf moment?

Winning The Sweet Chain Nation Auckland Event, I had a great time on a course I had never played before (Oratia Orchad) and claimed my first ever tournament win with 2 great rounds both comfortably above my rating over some great competitors, (Even if we were in the lowest division)

What are your practice routines?

For practice rounds I like to make sure my putt feels good before doing some stretches and jumping straight into it, I play about 9 holes a day.

What is your go-to tip for beginners?

Challenge Rounds- I found that I improved massively after playing practice rounds with things like: Three Disc Rounds, Flipping A Coin To Decide If I Throw Forehand Or Backhand and Can't Throw The Same Shot Twice On The Same Hole. Doing this helps you learn your discs work on all of your shots and most importantly it's fun and if you're having fun you're more likely to go down to the course and practice.

Favourite Disc

Plastic Type: Strata
Comment: "The Kotuku is a great disc in all plastics but for me especially in the Strata plastic as it flies a bit flippier than Cosmic & Atomic."
