Birth Year
Year Started Disc Golf
When/how did you discover disc golf and knew you absolutely loved it?
I was first introduced to it playing the Wii Sports Resort game mode Frisbee Golf as a kid. I finally decided to look into its real life counterpart at 21 and fell in love with it instantly.
What’s your favourite RPM Disc in your bag right now and why?
Definitely the Kahu, I use the XG variety as my main distance backhand and have the regular Kahu as my distance forehand main.
Do you have any practice routines? If so, what are they?
I putt as often as I can, and only putt for as long as I'm focused and consistent. If I lose either of those attributes, I stop until I have both again. I also get out for field practice to practice certain shot shapes, and when I play a practice round I throw 2 shots; the shot I would throw in tournament and the shot I need to get better at.
What are your goals for the current season?
To be confident enough in my game to book a trip to Europe to play in some of the European Tour tournaments.
Do you have a proudest disc golf moment?
My first Ace. It was a Atomic Tui, flipped up and help a direct line, never looked like missing. It was during a league day so I got the Ace pool on top of it just being a beautiful shot.
What is the most memorable disc golf battle you’ve experienced/witnessed?
I have 2 good mates and very good players in Jade and Austin from Canberra, and during the ACT Sizzler they were both lengths ahead of the rest of the MPO field and had a playoff to finish. It's available to watch on Gatekeeper Media
What is your go to tip for disc golf beginners?
Start with putters and midranges, you will get to drivers eventually, but it's more important to begin with form over distance.
If you could play any course in the world and bring along any 3 disc golf friends, where and who would it be?
Blue Lakes with the 3 people that helped me get to the place I am, Jonathon Jonas, Chris Hill and Simon Milliken.
