Disc Golf Career

Amateur
Started Disc Golf in 2017

How did you discover Disc Golf?

I had a bartender at the restaurant I worked at who introduced me. The moment I saw the different flight paths a disc could have I was hooked.

What is your proudest Disc Golf moment?

My proudest moment is my finishing performances at the final two B tiers for 2023. Being in the driving position for rounds 1 & 2 were highlights of my improvement over the years as a player.

What are your practice routines?

Start with putters then midranges, lastly drivers to build up and loosen the arms, whether for field work or tournament warm ups.

What is your go-to tip for beginners?

Slow down your run up, and choose the more under stable molds. Not everyone can throw a Nuke, Destroyer, DD3 etc..

Favourite Disc

Plastic Type: Glow
Comment: "I love understable molds to throw the same release angle, so getting that flip up to flat on a hyper is a game changer in my opinion."
