Birth Year
Year Started Disc Golf
When/how did you discover disc golf and knew you absolutely loved it?
I discovered disc golf on Pender Island, BC, Canada. I grew up on the Island which was famous for Disc Golf. I played as a kid with family and friends and have never stopped, I have loved the sport as long as I can remember.
What’s your favourite RPM Disc in your bag right now and why?
Pekapeka is my favorite RPM Disc because it is such a reliable understable fairway driver. I can turn it consistently from right to left (LHBH) and always rely on a predictable flight.
Do you have any practice routines? If so, what are they?
I do a lot of putting and try to make little games of it. I try to keep it loose and fun.
What are your goals for the current season?
My goals for this season is to build on my tournament experience and also continue to offer an avenue for people to play disc golf in Cairns by setting up courses consistently and being available to play with beginners .
Do you have a proudest disc golf moment?
My proudest moment was being offered a sponsorship to play for Team Kingfisher Disc Golf in January 2023. Acceptance to Team RPM is a very close second.
What is the most memorable disc golf battle you’ve experienced/witnessed?
What is your go to tip for disc golf beginners?
Don't worry about high speed drivers until you have a consistent throw, focus on form with slower speeds first.
If you could play any course in the world and bring along any 3 disc golf friends, where and who would it be?
I would play Maple Hill because it looks amazing. I would take my best mate, my brother and my Dad.
