| How long have you been playing disc golf? |
Two years |
| How did you get your start in disc golf? |
My father in law showed me Jomez and then took me out for a round. I’ve been hooked ever since. |
| What do you love most about the sport? |
I love that the sport gets you outside and in nature. It’s like hiking with a purpose! |
| What makes disc golf better than the other sports you have played? |
I can have fun playing disc golf by myself and with others. I’ve never played a sport that I can compete and have just as much fun when playing alone as when I play with others. |
| How do you approach a new course? |
When I play a new course I try to throw the shots I’m most confident with. I’ve found its helpful to compare a new hole to a hole you are familiar with. “Oh this is just like hole 2 at my home course. I can throw a similar shot here.” |
| What motivates you to continually improve your game? |
The world is full of chaos and confusion but disc golf is something I can control. Sometimes when things get too much for me I have to get out and play and I know that I can improve myself in this sport and it helps me find my calm. Disc golf is a form of meditation for me. |
| What do you do to stay focused playing in tourneys? |
I try to live in the moment and converse with card mates. I’ve found that if I try to focus for too long I get fatigued. Whenever it’s not my turn to throw I try to just be a spectator and cheer on my competitors. When it’s my turn to throw I then have no mental fatigue and am able to focus. |
| What’s your most memorable win? |
This past season I really wanted to get my first win. I went into the final round of a late season tournament with a one stroke lead. I ended up losing in a playoff. I then decided to extend my season by one event and got my first win in MA2 winning by 11 strokes over 3 rounds! It was just the redemption I needed. |
| What are your top three favorite discs? |
Envy, A3, Nuke |
| If you could play any course in the world, which would it be? |
Maple Hill. I’ve always loved watching the pros play it and I would love to go and play all the different layouts! |
| Whats in the bag? |
Tools: FlighTowel, DiscDot, KwikStik Putt/Approach: Envy, A3 Mids: Paradox, Buzzz, Deflector Fairways: Crave, Tesla, Fireball Drivers: Wave, Nuke, X2 |
| What does #NoBadRounds mean to you? |
#NoBadRounds helps me change my mindset when I think I’m having a “bad round” or threw a “bad shot”. There is always something to be learned from a round and from erroneous shots. When things don’t go my way #NoBadRounds helps me think about what I can learn from the situation instead of getting down on myself. Instead of “that shot sucked” I now think, “Why is my release to the right today?” |
| What do you love most about your FlighTowel? |
I love that it helps me warm up without having to throw and retrieve a bunch of discs. I can swing my FlighTowel a few times at various speeds and then I feel ready to start throwing. |
