ANY ADVICE:

No matter how far you can drive it will never matter unless you can make the putt. Ask questions and learn course management. I see to many new players throwing the wrong shot in certain situations and leaving themselves a tougher shot than before. Don’t try to make every approach shot, try to put it close enough to have a drop in putt.

FAVORITE DISC GOLF STORY:

Summer of 2005 three months after I started playing, my friends and I were at Camden in Milan, IL. I couldn’t even throw backhand yet and threw all thumbers. I walked up to hole 11 and threw a thumber with a Monster. I Heard nothing but chains. I sprinted up the hill to find my first ace, and I didn’t even get to see it go in!
