Disc Golf Career

Amateur
Started Disc Golf in 2020

How did you discover Disc Golf?

I was introduced to disc golf through some of my friends who had been disc golfing the year prior. The ability to meet new people and just have a fun time with whoever I’m playing with is the reason I fell in love with disc golf.

What is your proudest Disc Golf moment?

My proudest disc golf moment was during our bag tags tournament when I shot my new best round and had scores competing with the MPO players.

What are your practice routines?

On a bad weather day I would either putt for a set amount of time (exe. 30 min) or do 50 putts from 2 separate locations. On a good weather day I would either go out and try to play a round at my local course or do field work at the same course.

What is your go-to tip for beginners?

When you throw make sure to pull the disc through your chest not just with your arms.
