| How long have you been playing disc golf? |
1 year |
| How did you get your start in disc golf? |
When I first heard about disc golf, I refused to play. I thought it looked boring. A few years later, we ended up on vacation at a lodge with a course and a friend taught us the game. I was instantly hooked and wished I would have played when I first heard about it years earlier! |
| What do you love most about the sport? |
The physical activity and time spent in nature, the constant desire to improve and the friendships made with other players. There is so much to love about this sport! |
| What makes disc golf better than the other sports you have played? |
The community is unique and awesome! It's also a sport that anybody can play at their own pace while enjoying the outdoors. It's great for your body and soul - I think of disc golf as a healer and a life enhancer. |
| How do you approach a new course? |
I feel like my best rounds are played at new courses. I think it's because I'm extra focused and really thinking out disc selection, lines, etc. |
| What motivates you to continually improve your game? |
That's just who I am. I love to have something to work toward and disc golf gives me that. I don't think I'll ever feel like I can't improve - its one of the things I love about the game. |
| What do you do to stay focused playing in tourneys? |
I plan ahead with course practice, disc and line selection. I know exactly what I'm going to do when I step up to each teepad and in most situations that might come up. This takes a lot of thought out of that part of the game and allows me to stay fresh and focused on every shot. Pre-shot and putting routines also help a lot. |
| What’s your most memorable win? |
So far, taking second place in my first tournament (WGE) with lots of competition was a great feeling. I had only been playing a few months and had a round rating of over 800. I was also top 25 nationwide in my division. |
| What’s your most memorable disc golf moment? |
Oregon Women's State Championships. So many highs and lows. Found myself in the fight for the win until the last round when I made some big mistakes near the end. I learned a lot during that round and grew as a player. |
| What are your top three favorite discs? |
Streamline Pilot Discraft Zone Discmania Origin |
| What are your top three courses you have played? |
Bryant Park, Adair Park and Buxton - all in Oregon. |
| If you could play any course in the world, which would it be? |
Maple Hill! |
| Who is your disc golf hero, and how were you influenced be him or her? |
Kevin Jones is not just a good golfer.. his character is something special. He takes tough breaks in stride, is professional and kind and represents the sport well - all qualities I find important and hope to portray as well. |
| Whats in the bag? |
A mix - mostly Westside, some Discmania, Discraft, Innova, Latitude and Streamline. |
| What non-disc golf hobbies do you have? |
In the summer, I love to kayak, ride jet skis, swim - anything on the water. I also like to sing and play guitar. But mostly, I enjoy spending as much time as I can with my daughters and husband. |
| Any superstitions you have before or during a round? |
Nope! |
| What does #NoBadRounds mean to you? |
I feel like there's always a good take-away, regardless of the score. A lesson to be learned, a skill to be focused on for future improvement, a win to highlight and fun to be had. |
| What do you love most about your FlighTowel? |
The resistance pockets allow for realistic indoor practice. It's made well and it's also great for drying discs fast during rainy rounds - I'm a towel snob and FlighTowel just works faster and better. It's also simple to incorporate during warm ups and for stretching. |
