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.
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!
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.
Additional comments:
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!
Boss
The Boss is my favorite disc for distance shots. It gives me the distance and control to perform my best in tournament play. It has elevated my distance game. It works great for skip shots, low shots, high shots and any kind of disc golf shot you throw. Try the Boss, it will get to the basket first!
TeeRex
I have a red 167g Star TeeRex that's very overstable. Avery couldn't even turn it over. I released it with anhzyer over the water at the Memorial and it came back everytime despite the wind. Definitely an awesome disc.
Eagle
My go to Driver. I can count on its stability in all situations. I use this disc as my go between a Roc and an Orc. Great from 325-400 for backhand and 250-325 for consistent forehands.
