Memorable Win:
At my age, with failing memory, probably the most recent one! That would be Augusta Super Tour (2000). It was my second super tour win since turning 50.
Advice:
Try to observe several of the top pros. Play practice rounds with them if possible. Learn some basic techniques the "right" way, then practice a lot.
Goals:
Promote the sport. Maintain world-class ability as long as I can, to find out what the expectancy is for this sport. That is, can an athlete remain competitive in disc golf into is fifties, sixties? Continue to raise the standard of competition.

XD
My main driver at the Worlds in 85. Great for long straight shots. When longer drivers came along, I started using the XD for mid-range shots.
