Disc Golf Career

Amateur
Started Disc Golf in 2022

How did you discover Disc Golf?

After being in a pretty serious motorcycle accident, I decided to try and find another hobby. Lo and behold, Jomez popped up on YouTube and I started watching just about every disc golf related content that there was available. I fell in love with the sport and had to search the local scene to see what was out there for me which resulted in where I am today.

What is your proudest Disc Golf moment?

2023 I decided to strive to be able to be invited to the 2024 disc golf AM Worlds and was able to achieve that after the full season. But, my most proud moment was probably me right here, right now, being accepted by my very first disc golf sponsorship with the team that I set out to want to work and grow with. So, a special thanks to Simon, Thalia, and everyone else at RPM!

What are your practice routines?

I have a putting station set up in my backyard and in my basement. 10 feet through 45+ feet stations. I also use my throwing net to critique my form and continue growing and progressing forward with my form and my game!

What is your go-to tip for beginners?

Putt until you figure out every little aspect of putting. Putting is CONFIDENCE, it's not just a certain form that you can copy from another player/role model. If you are confident in your ability to put the putter in the basket, then you will continue to build your confidence in the game, and if you're feeling confident, then your score card will reflect that in the end!

Comment: "I love the Kahu! It is the perfect bomber/max distance driver for me. The Kahu is very workable and can be used for forehand or backhand shots!"
