Distance Drivers:
2 Firebirds – one new, one beat – for heavy wind conditions and all long or midrange spike hyzers. Also for all skip shots
2 Orcs – all purpose driver. Usually used for 350-70 foot slight s-curve shots under most conditions. Also used for long flat shots that finish strong at the end 300 – 350.
2 Pro Orcs – long tail wind drives. Release with a lot of hyzer and it will stand up and flip slightly.
Fairway Drivers:
3 Pro TeeBirds – brand new – Use for long drives with little or no wind. Also for long hyzer shots with little to medium wind. One of the t-birds is a 165 gram which I use on almost all long anhyzer shots 320 + and some tailwind drives.
1 Pegasus – medium range spike hyzer – is in and out of the bag
Mid-Range:
1 Stingray– roller
1 Panther – On a woodsy course will throw a lot. Will get left out of the bag on an open course. Used for most straight, tight fairways under 300 ft.
1 Roc and one Glo Roc – One is new and the other is old. I use for all shots 200 – 320 ft. Anhyzer, straight, hyzer.
Putt & Approach:
2 Rhynos – one brand new, the other beat. Use the new one for heavy wind upshots. I use the beat one for many straight or anhyzer shots 150 – 220.
3 Aviars – Use for most short up shots and for longer anhyzer upshots. One of them is my putter.

FAVORITE TOURNAMENTS
USDGC Rock Hill, SC
KC Wide Open Kansas City, MO
Memorable Win:
Herington, KS - 1998. I beat Crazy John Brooks and Laron Harris by one stroke by hitting a 30 ft into the wind putt on the last hole. I shot 20 under for the day. It was my first solid win as a pro and fueled me to continue working on my game.

My favorite events:
The USDGC is by far the most well-run professional, fun, and competitive tournament around. The staff make you feel like you have accomplished something even before you tee off on the first hole.
The KC Wide Open is 2nd on my list. Great courses and it is always professionally run.

Most memorable event:
The 2002 USDGC was the first time I attended that tournament. The USDGC is an awesome event and I hope to attend many more. My brother flew with me to Rock Hill and caddied for me the entire tournament. The weather and the course were incredible.

Goals:

My short goal is to continue playing competitively despite a year off for knee surgery in 2003 and my limited ability to play as often as necessary.
My long term goal is to overcome these barriers and work my way back to a top 25 player.

Advice:
Work on accuracy before distance. Use only a few types of discs when you start. Play in a higher division than your level of play as often as you can. Watching and following the styles of good players creates good habits. Early on, watching Crazy John , Randy Brown and Laron Harris play did wonders for my game.
