Bio:
I was born in East Point Ga. to Wayne and Sandee Peavy on October 25, 1977. I am a Tuesday’s child, and an only child. I have been sporty my whole life. As a kid I rode horses like a little Indian, sometimes just running and jumping on my horse bareback with no reins. I was getting into softball because my Papa loved it so much. He taught me well. Papa, Momma and I traveled almost every weekend while I played on many traveling teams from 10 to 21 years old. It was worth a full scholarship to play at Young Harris College, which is where I indirectly met the game of disc golf. I started off playing hippie golf in a long skirt and no shoes just throwing one disc and one putter. Wills Park in Alpharetta Ga. was my first course. And Oregon park after that, where I was introduced to tournament minded play. Now I travel all over this beautiful country playing in tournaments and hanging out with good people in fun places. Disc Golf is awesome. I play to be my best. I wouldn’t be able to do it without the help of Innova and Twisted Flyer.

What is your most memorable moment?
My first ace was definitely the most memorable Disc Golf moment. It was at that moment I truly fell in love with the game of Disc Golf. It happened at Thursday night doubles at Oregon park in Marietta Ga. I threw a white prototype Valkyrie and mmm what a sweet ching it made in the chains. I was playing in a 6some and everybody in the group paid me $5 plus it was a ctp for the night. Plus I got the huge ace pot. All for my first ace. Hole # 9

Advice:
Perfect practice is the only thing that makes you better. Don’t practice bad habits. Learn to putt by looking in a mirror, if you know what your body looks like when you’re doing it right you will be a better putter. Great putting has all to do with great balance. Great balance relies on great strength, great strength merges mind and body and this can make you great!

Practice regimen or pre-tournament warm up routine: I only throw about 10 or so drives and 8 or so midranges before a tourney. I warm up my mind mostly by putting. I’ve found that my body warms up naturally, but I must get my focus on point to do well and I do this by putting and focusing alone.
