Disc Golf Career

Amateur
Started Disc Golf in 2019

How did you discover Disc Golf?

Married into it! As a former athlete, I crave competition. The community that surrounds the sport, and the desire to develop, both as person and player, has allowed me to fall in love with the sport.

What is your proudest Disc Golf moment?

Representing New Zealand at the Amateur World Championships in 2020. Even though I was the lowest rated player by 50 ratings, it was an honor to represent my home.

What are your practice routines?

Throw my slower speed discs; putters & midranges first, in an open field. Putt. Throw my higher speed discs at a target, for either accuracy or consistency of release. Then putt again.

What is your go-to tip for beginners?

Slow is smooth, smooth is far. Play to your strengths.
