I picked up my 1st disc golf disc in 1997 and went
pro in 2000.
Home Course: Dexter DGC - Eugene, OR Number of Aces: Longest Measured Throw: Goals: Short Term - To not finish out of the top 10 at any tournament and to increase my focus and professionalism. Long Term - Win World Championship or the US Open - and to increase my luck. Memorable Win: My most memorable win was the Augusta Classic Supertour (2002). The reason is because I had to make a clutch shot to beat the best player in the world (Ken Climo). It was a controlled anhyzer (which is not my strong point) with OB on both sides - I threw it within 4 feet of the basket to seal my second Supertour of the year. Most memorable tournament: My most memorable tournament was the 2002 Worlds in Miami. I played great for 9 rounds, I had all my disc golf buddies at the tournament, Avery and I finished 2nd in Doubles, we stayed with Larry Cruz who was a great host. Everybody was there and everything went well, so this is why I will never forget it. Second, Close runner-up was definitely the Japan Open 2002, what an experience. My favorite events: USDGC World Championships World Doubles Championships Lumberjack Open - Kalamazoo, MI Kansas City Wide Open Japan Open - improve your skill with 150 class Bob West Memorial Advice: Practice, practice, practice. It pays. Do things to increase your luck. Also, most of us started with INNOVA DX discs, because they beat up and they teach you angles from Hyzer to anhyzer to roller. Learn as many different shots as possible. Practice in an open field, not on the course. Once you learn something in the practice field, then try it on the course, and GOOD LUCK! Additional advice: If every one of you guys showed one woman how to play disc golf for every two guys you showed, there would be a much larger women's division. Then it would just roll over and the sport wouldn't be so one-sided. We will see you out on the tour!  | Division: Pro Open
