"Throw a shot that fights the natural inclinations" -Scott Stokely
United States
Birth Year
Year Started Disc Golf
When/how did you discover disc golf and knew you absolutely loved it?
I discovered disc golf around April 2022 and after playing 3 rounds back-to-back in the first 24 hours, I was hooked.
What’s your favourite RPM Disc in your bag right now and why?
My magma Piwakawaka - I don't trust any other disc to stand up from being hucked vertically towards a 6ft gap
Do you have any practice routines? If so, what are they?
Putter only rounds! I'll attack my local courses with 3 putters anytime I'm feeling a bit off, need a confidence boost, am working on touch shots, or just want to enjoy nature!
What are your goals for the current season?
For 2023 I am aiming to finish out the year strong continuing to refine and hone my developed form. For 2024 I am aiming to increase my rating to 850 and win at least 1 tournament outright while still improving form.
Do you have a proudest disc golf moment?
What is the most memorable disc golf battle you’ve experienced/witnessed?
What is your go to tip for disc golf beginners?
It's a marathon not a sprint. Don't chase the "instant" fixes or "magic" improvements: they'll only lead to injury, delayed improvement, or frustration. Find a good coach, work from the feet upward, and work from the basket outward: putting -> upshots -> driving.
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 bring my best friend Matthew, another close friend Collin, and then probably my Dad either out to Maple Hill in MA or take a trip to a bunch of courses across the globe in a mega-disc-golf-tour
