A random ad for my local retailer during lockdown reminded me of how cool the video of Philo's albatross was, like 4 years earlier. Got a starter set and I was hooked from the day I showed up for my first tournament, under-prepared and over-enthused.

I would have said my Cosmic Orange Ruru forever, but right now, I think my red Magma Soft Kea is my fave. It's bent out of shape from belting a tree, but I can work it for just about any approach, and it sticks when it hits the deck.

Nothing specific, just lots of field work. A footy ground across the road, and 3 kids at home means emptying the bag for 20 mins is easier that getting to the course. Oh, and lots of putting in the back yard - always end with a 3 from 3.

A win in MA3, 850 rating, shooting a 900 round, and having a 900-rated tournament.

Buy a 12 speed and try to throw it 400 feet, because it's super fun. Then forget everything you've been doing, re-learn to throw with a putter, and work on your short game.
