Disc Golf Career

Professional
Started Disc Golf in 2017

How did you discover Disc Golf?

My dad is what got me into the sport, but the community in our area is what kept me involved. The first time I ever went to join my dad I was given discs by random people to "Fill holes in my bag." I've been hooked ever since.

What is your proudest Disc Golf moment?

When I forgot my disc golf bag going to an A-Tier tournament. I was going to the Music City Open in Nashville Tennessee to try and win it for the 3rd time in a row. Halfway there I realized I left my disc golf bag at home. So after buying an all new disc golf bag, coming back by 7 strokes on the last round, shooting the course record on the last round, and getting my first 1000 rated round. I secured the three peat, winning by one stroke.

What are your practice routines?

Making 100 putts everyday from 25 feet.

What is your go-to tip for beginners?

Stay present in the moment. Disc golf is played one shot at a time. So focusing on the here and now avoids distractions.
