I was working at a summer camp in North Carolina, U.S. and we had a 9 hole disc golf course on the property. A fellow staff member was playing the course and I was curious as to what he was doing. I asked him, and he told me and gave me a couple of his discs to play with. I fell in love with disc golf at the moment I let the disc fly.

I am going to cheat and say 2 molds. First, the Kea. I have loved the Kea since I got my hands on one. It was the first RPM disc I ever owned. I have two, a blue and a clear cosmic Kea. I currently bag my blue one and have aced with it twice this past year two weeks apart. Second, the Huia. I have two Huias, a glow and an atomic. My glow Huia is an absolute work horse. I throw it everywhere I go and birdie with it 9 times out of 10.

My goals this year are to maintain a 970+ rating as well as add to my career win total.

Yes. My proudest disc golf moment was my first MPO win this past season. More specifically, the playoff hole I one on. Me and one other player went into a playoff and ended on the first hole. It was a tough hole, I had taken a bogey on it in that final round. He threw a good shot, but was a clear par. I threw right up the gut of a tight gap and nearly aced, going past the basket 40 feet. He pitches up to take a par. I knew the pressure was almost off now because if I miss we go to the next hole that I am super confident on. So, putt confidently knowing that a miss is not the end. I line up my 40 footer and nail it dead center with my Magma hard Takapu for the win.

Embrace the season of bad disc golf. Embrace the learning process. Learn good form and how to throw every type of disc. Be patient in the process. Enjoy the process. Love the process. Trust the process.

The Beast in Nokia, Finland or Maple Hill in Massachusetts. I would take my friends Riley, Zach, fellow teammate Nathan Davis, and Ryan.
