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?
In 2023, I played in a tournament called the Hawk Hollow Open. Throughout the course of the tournament, I played at my highest level and managed to play consistent. From this tournament on, I was able to average round ratings around 970+. At the time, this was 30 points above my rating.
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."
