Beginner Tip
Have as much fun as possible when getting into disc golf. When you inevitably shank drives and miss easy putts, don’t beat yourself up. We all do it, all the time. You will gain a ton of skill very quickly if you simply focus on building a foundation of fun and love for the game.Most Memorable Moment
Nothing means more to me in the world than family. At the 2017 Spring Rip-it here in Minnesota, my wife and both my parents came out to watch me play, and I aced the first hole with them watching.Disc Golf Goals
First and foremost, my biggest goal in disc golf is to take care of my body so that I can play for a very long time. Second, I want to continue bringing fun disc golf content to the community! And third, I would really love to be a State Champion one day.In The Bag
