Disc Golf Career

Amateur
Started Disc Golf in 2019

How did you discover Disc Golf?

My dad bought an RPM starter pack from rebel sports as we always went on holiday to Twizel and dad took me out to play and I fell in love with the flight of the disc but also didn't want to loose to dad so knew I wanted to get better. so i started playing with friends in Dunedin and the addiction grew from there.

What is your proudest Disc Golf moment?

my proudest moment would have to be my first ever tour win representing RPM discs, I won at Sub Zero in Omarama and fought through some of the worst weather conditions I have ever played in while chasing the lead on the last day in the snow

What are your practice routines?

i often try to play casual rounds after work almost every day but my main practice routines would be going to the field and setting up a pole that i throw at from several distances and i practice putting in my back yard mainly on weekend but also once or twice a week

What is your go-to tip for beginners?

lock your wrist like youre pouring a teapot, this helps keep the nose of the disc down which helps keep the disc flying consistent. but most importantly just get out on the course with mates and have fun

Plastic Type: Magma
Comment: "I love all kinds of kea's... I bag 4 at the moment, I have two magma soft keas that I use mostly for sidearm approaches and two atomic keas that my cousin called the lazerbeam run one of them is really beat in and a straight flier with an over stable finish and one is brand new super over stable which is perfect in the wind."
