When/how did you discover disc golf and knew you absolutely loved it?
I was introduced to disc golf through an Australian friend Chris Ronalds when we were teaching in the UK together. He took me to the course in Croydon . I definitely thought I would give this game another go sometime in the future.
What’s your favourite RPM Disc in your bag right now and why?
Only 1!! I would have to say the Huia. It has taken me a while but the Huia has come one of my go to disc. I love its versatility. It is consistent in the wind. It is a disc i keep reaching for when i need to throw a forehand.
Do you have any practice routines? If so, what are they?
I try and throw as often as i can even if it is only 20minutes at a time. I like to challenge myself by throwing different lines threw and around the rugby post on the field. When putting trying to make a total of 100 putts. 20 from 6m, 7m, 8m, 9m and 10m.
What are your goals for the current season?
Competitively my goal for 2023 is to work towards being 930 rated. Professionally I want to get as many students exposed to disc golf as possible. and get as many studen
Do you have a proudest disc golf moment?
My proudest moment is seeing the school students running to get their discs to have another throw and the pure surprise and elation when they throw in or hit a massive putt.
What is the most memorable disc golf battle you’ve experienced/witnessed?
I have probably never have been so engaged / sitting on the edge of your seat stuff when hitting refresh after each hole between Deb Mills and Kath Hedley battling for the honors in FA40 at Taupo in 2022.
What is your go to tip for disc golf beginners?
Grip the disc tight and try and throw flat.
If you could play any course in the world and bring along any 3 disc golf friends, where and who would it be?
Smugglers Notch (Foxrun & Brewster Ridge) or Maple Hill. Too many people to choose from but anyone who has fallen in love with the game.
