How did you get started disc golfing?
When I started college I was big into weight lifting and was looking for a way to spend some time after workouts.  My brother, Aaron, was playing regularly and I suggested that we start playing golf.  My brother gave us some discs to start and from that day on I was hooked.  Needless ot say, I put down the weights and picked up the discs.

What are your goals?
My main goal is to play the best I possibly can, others are to win the Worlds and the USDGC

What is your most memorable tournament?
Still working on a memorable tournament.  If I had to choose, it would be this year's USDGC.  I played solid and had a lot of fun playing up at the top.

What are your favorite tournaments?
USDGC: It is the greatest tournament I have ever been to.
Lakefront Open: Home course and I have played it for many years.

What is your most memorable win?
2004 Lakefront Open:  I think I had a five stroke lead going into the last round over my friend Tim Owston, and within 10 holes we were tied.  I made a long putt on hole 11 and it kind of turned the tide back my way and I ended up winning by one stroke.

What advice can you give?
Play with the good players around your home course, they will teach you a lot.

Additional comments:
I want to give a special thanks to my brother Aaron Light, "Blane".  If it were not for him to give me my first disc and to show me the ropes, I would not be the player that I am today.  Also a special thanks to the boys from warrior (tic tac, Tim Barr, etc.) you guys showed me the ropes and I appreciate it.
