How long have you been playing disc golf? |
7 |
|
How did you get your start in disc golf? |
My dad started playing after he got a dog and needed somewhere to take the dog for walks. He brought me out to play not too long after that. |
|
What do you love most about the sport? |
Its nice to get outside and meet all sorts of people. |
|
What makes disc golf better than the other sports you have played? |
I was never really much of a sports playing person until I started playing disc golf. |
|
How do you approach a new course? |
I usually just kind of wing it when playing a new course, but play a bit conservative and try to keep mistakes to a minimum. |
|
What motivates you to continually improve your game? |
My game has kind kind of taken a back seat to my focus on running events lately, but I know I have the ability to put my skills together and play consistently good disc golf and I look forward to having time to make that happen. |
|
What do you do to stay focused playing in tourneys? |
Have fun even if I'm playing less than great. Don't dwell on bad shots and it won't bring the rest of your round down. |
|
What’s your most memorable win? |
I've yet to win as far as playing a disc golf event goes, but so far near universal praise for the event I just ran is pretty big for me. |
|
What’s your most memorable disc golf moment? |
Probably my second tournament ace, playing on a card with cool people that I know and friend on the card behind me also got to see it happen. And I kind of called the ace on a Facebook post the day before the tournament. |
|
What are your top three favorite discs? |
Dynamic Discs Deputy Dynamic Discs Lucid Convict Innova Champion Banshee |
|
What are your top three courses you have played? |
SeaTac DGC - SeaTac, WA Kaposia Park - South St. Paul, MN Riverbend DGC (Milo McIver State Park) - Estacada, OR |
|
If you could play any course in the world, which would it be? |
Probably The Beast in Nokia Finland |
|
Who is your disc golf hero, and how were you influenced be him or her? |
Keith Lionetti, owner of the local disc shop and a major part of the disc golf community in western Washington. The amount of time he has put into work on the courses is a major influence in why I have gotten more involved in the disc golf community. |

|
What non-disc golf hobbies do you have? |
I like to watch movies. For the most part if I'm not at work or sleeping I'm probably doing something disc golf related. |
|
Any superstitions you have before or during a round? |
Not really |
|
What does #NoBadRounds mean to you? |
Always have fun or always learn something. You don't necessarily have to play good to have a good round. |
|
What do you love most about your FlighTowel? |
Besides how useful they are having the logo from my events on my FlighTowel and FT Mini is super cool. |
