Year Started Disc Golf
When/how did you discover disc golf and knew you absolutely loved it?
I was camping one New Year’s Eve and heard these rattling chains through the woods. When I went to check out the sound, I saw the baskets and being a free styler, was hooked before I threw the first hole. Played for a year with a lid, but then realized ho
What’s your favourite RPM Disc in your bag right now and why?
It’s really hard to narrow this down. The Kahu is a great reliable distance driver, the Kotoku a great over-stable driver, the Pekapeka a marvelous fairway driver (especially if you can find one of the more stable flavours), but I guess my heart rests wit
Do you have any practice routines? If so, what are they?
When putting always putt out your misses. You quickly learn to be comfortable with your putts as you realize the come-backs aren’t all that hard to hit.
What are your goals for the current season?
Get my rating back to where I think it should be (960+) by strengthening the consistency of my performance.
Do you have a proudest disc golf moment?
Captaining the Mundy Park Jim Brown Cup team to five consequtive provincial championships.
What is the most memorable disc golf battle you’ve experienced/witnessed?
OK, memories can be hazy but here’s the story and I’m stixking to it! Back before our events in BC were mostly PDGA sanctioned, Dave Ross (#7190) played Michael McMillan (#27001) for our provincial Duck Golf series title. Going into the final they were ti
What is your go to tip for disc golf beginners?
Same as the practice routine tip–always clean up your practice putts. The sooner you stop being afraid of missing your first putt, the faster you will improve in competition.
If you could play any course in the world and bring along any 3 disc golf friends, where and who would it be?
Hit the Åland Islands with Ted Moens, Neville Collett, and Craig Sheather.
