Year Started Disc Golf
When/how did you discover disc golf and knew you absolutely loved it?
My parents were into it when I was little (even had a course on our property!) so it’s been something I’ve enjoyed as long as I can remember!
What’s your favourite RPM Disc in your bag right now and why?
The Kea has been an amazing disc as long as it’s been in the bag! it’s very versatile in different levels of wear, e.g. I bag a magma soft for straight approaches an atomic for overstable Forehand and backhand and a cosmic for very OS skippy approaches
Do you have any practice routines? If so, what are they?
I try to take at least 100 putts a day, I usually take 5 Rurus and putt from 5 different distances once I’ve done my 100 putts and the stroke is feeling good I’ll quit until the next day
What are your goals for the current season?
I’d love to reach 1000 rated, also want to try to play more A and B tiers
Do you have a proudest disc golf moment?
Teaching three classes of around 20 kids was a VERY cool opportunity and definitely a proud moment
What is the most memorable disc golf battle you’ve experienced/witnessed?
Watched: 2021 worlds live on disc golf network was incredible! I was part of: gained 5 strokes over the last 9 holes of “Da Yoopers Championship” to get my first win in MA1
What is your go to tip for disc golf beginners?
Remember that it’s a game and should be fun! Nobody’s good right away, put in the time and skill will come
If you could play any course in the world and bring along any 3 disc golf friends, where and who would it be?
Either Blue Lake or Maple Hill with My Brother, Cousin, and Dustin Keegan
Additional Comments
Huge shoutout to RPM discs for making all these awesome discs that let me play at a high level! Magma soft keas are the most underrated disc ever 🙂
