Amateur

Started Disc Golf in 2021

My best friend invited me to play a round with his boys. It was in the fall and I enjoy the outdoors. Such a beatuful day and the camaraderie was wonderful. I was hooked on watching the boys making the discs fly, the walking of the course and the bond we had playing. I retired from the miltary and had not realized how much I missed the camaraderie. The peace I find in the woods helps me with my PTSD. I enjoy intruducing fellow vets and youth to the sport.

Placing 6th overall in the first year of the DGMT.

I play different local courses when they are not busy. I throw two discs on each hole. One backhand and one forehand. Every shot to the basket is done this way. My scramble skills during a tournament are strong because of this. I also find because of this practise, I do not panic if I hit a tree or shank a throw. I have complete confidence I can get to the basket.

Get in the woods and throw. My first year I played a round on the weekend but trained in an open field. The field work helped teach me many things. However, once I was in the woods I could not throw those same shots and I lacked confidence because of the narrow fairways.

Comment: "I love every disc RPM has. However, In the woods of Charlotte, the Tui is my go-to putt and approach. It keeps my outof trouble and allows me to hit those critical putts circle two and in."
