Disc Golf Career
Amateur
Started Disc Golf in 2019
How did you discover Disc Golf?
I was introduced to the sport in late 2019 and enjoyed the game as a casual player. When the pandemic hit in 2020 I really started picking up the game as it was something I was able to do on my own and remain physically active. Since then the community of people has really kept me engaged with the sport.
What is your proudest Disc Golf moment?
Winning the Discmania Open Pro Masters and Amateur Event in my home province in 2023. It was my first A tier win in my career.
What are your practice routines?
In all honesty I don't practice specifically! I go out and play 'practice rounds' where I may throw 2 or 3 discs off the tee or from different landing zones to try out different shot shapes and get away from the comfort of my forehand.
What is your go-to tip for beginners?
Start with putters and low speed understable mids / approach discs. Looking back this would have been the biggest piece of advice I would give myself.

Comment: "I love the predictability of the Huia! It is my go-to disc for flex forehands and I know it will always perform the same. It's also super reliable for hyzer backhands "
