Disc Golf Career

Professional
Started Disc Golf in 2016

How did you discover Disc Golf?

I have always loved the technical aspect of sports and activities that I have taken part in. In my mind, disc golf is purely technical. As soon as I picked up a disc for the first time, I could see the technicality in the game. There's nothing else like shaping a line in your mind and seeing it fly just as you had imagined it.

What is your proudest Disc Golf moment?

Getting my first Open PDGA win in 2024

What are your practice routines?

I tend to play a lot of practice rounds. I'd like to do more fieldwork, but don't have the greatest space around to do so. In tournament weeks, I like to get 2-3 practice putting sessions in.

What is your go-to tip for beginners?

Don't sweat the small stuff. Mistakes will happen, but being able to learn from it will make you a better disc golfer.

Comment: "The Tui is the best throwing putter I've ever had. It will hold any shape and it seems to glide forever."
