"Who introduced me to the sport of Disc Golf?
My brother and I started playing during covid when the Ultimate frisbee season got cancelled"
"What is your biggest Disc Golf accomplishment? Your most proud moment in the sport?
Honestly it was a great moment and a let down at the same time when we got second at D2 college nationals. I putted probably the best I had in a while and it pulled me out of a pretty bad slump. I had some big throw ins and the tournament itself was a blast with the UD guys. So I was really proud of us for taking the club in its infancy to a playoff for first. But we crumbled in the moment. "
"Whats your favorite disc color to throw?
blue"
"What weight drivers do you like to throw?
mostly max weight except for the buttery lightweight esp swirl Captains Raptor. "
"What one disc do you throw the farthest? Pure distance
DGA Torrent. If I can keep it in the air or I throw my newer one, they are so fast and go so far"
"What do you putt with?
DGA Sonar"
"What course did you fall in love with Disc Golf on?
Osage Grove in Goshen Ohio. My brother and I would play it like 2-3 times a day during covid. Basically throwing until our arms could not take it anymore"
"Whats the Tournament you circle on the calendar 1st as a cant miss?
May Day it was my first tournament win ever"
"In one sentence or less, tell us one interesting thing about you not disc golf related?
I worked for 6 years as a summer camp counselor at a boy scout summer camp and now I volunteer at the new camp since the original one closed."
"Tell us about your Tournament Day routine and if you carry any lucky charms?
I need a short warm up. Little stretch then like 15 mins of throwing and like 10-15 mins of putting. If I warm up too long then I tend to start tiring myself out or overthinking shots. So I show up like an hour early 35-40 mins total of a warmup and then stand by the tee and watch people in front tee off. Go to game day snack is beef jerky. I don't usually end up eating that much of it but its always there."
"When you play a new course for a tournament what is your plan of action. Play it blind, walk some holes, get the details from a card mate? Tell us how you attack a new course.
If I am playing a new course and I have multiple round to throw it, I'll do like 2 shots a hole the first round to get a feel then throw a tournament style round if I can throw a second round. if I only have time for one round I will play it to determine my disc choices and where the OB/misses are. If I do not have time to play it then I like to watch coverage and see what other people are throwing to help me with disc selection."
