| How long have you been playing disc golf? |
I have been playing disc golf for 3 years. |
| How did you get your start in disc golf? |
I was introduced to disc golf when my dad bought some discs and a basket for a Christmas present. Ever since then I've been hooked on the sport. |
| What do you love most about the sport? |
Right when I was introduced to disc golf, I was instantly hooked. I fell in love with how the game relies on your decision making, performance, and mental strength. While I enjoy team sports, I really love sports where you are your own team. I also enjoy being outdoors which is another reason why I love disc golf so much. The combination of the competition and environment creates my passion for disc golf. |
| What makes disc golf better than the other sports you have played? |
I have played soccer, basketball, football, and baseball. All these sports were fun and produced amazing memories, but for some reason disc golf has pushed me to that next level. I guess it has to do with how the game revolves around your decision making and personal skills. |
| How do you approach a new course? |
When I approach a new course, I immediately look at the courses par and the distances for each hole. I then examine if the course is wooded or open, that way I know what discs I want to bag. |
| What motivates you to continually improve your game? |
My current goal for disc golf is to improve my performance and overall consistency. I want to be 1000+ rated by next year and be able to challenge the top pros around my area. I also have a huge calling to help grow the sport whether that means talking about it at school, giving people discs, or inviting my friends to tournaments. |
| What do you do to stay focused playing in tourneys? |
Tournament play is something many people struggle with. Personally, I feel that tournaments help me stay focused and concentrated on my game. On the other hand, tournament pressure sometimes inhibits me from playing to the best of my ability. |
| What’s your most memorable win? |
My most memorable win was winning a DGPT Silver Series at the Open at Belton. It was a great experience and challenged me to continue practicing and getting better at my game. |
| What’s your most memorable disc golf moment? |
One of the best moments ever in my life was acing at the 2021 Disc Golf Junior World Championship. It was a crazy experience and I believe I was 1 of only 7 people to ace during the tournament. |
| What are your top three favorite discs? |
My top three favorite discs is the Halo Destroyer, Lucid Emac Truth, and Proton Envy. |
| What are your top three courses you have played? |
My top three favorite courses I have played is the Country Club in Emporia Kansas, Veterans Park in Arlington Texas, and Coyote DGC in Cedar Hill Texas. |
| If you could play any course in the world, which would it be? |
If I could play any course in the world it would be Maple Hill in Massachusetts. |
| Who is your disc golf hero, and how were you influenced be him or her? |
My disc golf hero is probably Paul McBeth. The first Disc Golf round I ever watched was when Paul shot a perfect round at the 2018 Great Lakes Open. What a great way to be introduced to the sport! |
| Whats in the bag? |
Currently I bag: 5 destroyer's in various stages, 2 thunderbird's, 2 teebird3's, 2 leopard3's, 3 Emac Truth's, 1 pyro, 2 zone's, 2 envy's, and 2 judge's. |
| What non-disc golf hobbies do you have? |
Besides disc golf the only hobby I am currently into is rock band. My friends and I started a band a couple years ago and ever since then we have been playing shows throughout the local area! |
| Any superstitions you have before or during a round? |
So far I do not have any superstitions before/during a round. |
| What does #NoBadRounds mean to you? |
#NoBadRounds means that every disc golf round I play is practice. I believe that practice makes progress so as a result, no round is ever a bad round. Even if you play poorly during a round, you learn valuable information that you can apply for next time. |
| What do you love most about your FlighTowel? |
FlighTowel is such a unique company. I love how you guys took something from the game and created such an amazing and useful product that everyone could benefit from. Great company! |
