Memorable Win:
I would have to say my first pro win. It was also my first official pro tournament. I just came back from taking 2nd at the 2007 AM world championships and i was ready to go to the next level. I had a decent first round and going into the second and final round I felt really confident and relax which really helped my focus. I ended up tying the previous course record and winning by 3 strokes over some really good players.
Advice:
Practice every shot possible, they all save strokes one way or another. Also I say practice different parts of your game through out the week whether its putting, driving or even your mental game any and all practice matters.
Goals:
My goals have always been to win a world title or U.S. title but along the way I've added personal goals and yearly goals. So for the 2012 season I have set a few and personally I want to push our sport of disc golf to the best of my ability and be a good role model. As for my play this year I want to stay as consistent as possible I never want to be "out" of a tournament I want to always have a shot at the title.
Additional comments:
I would like to thank my family for allowing me to play this sport of disc golf and supporting me 100%. I would also like to give a shout out to some people and companies that have gotten me where I am today. Jerry Davis, Dave Dunipace, Sam Ferrans and Ron Brawley for seeing my potential and pushing me along the way. Got to give a shout to Dynamic Discs, NoExcuses custom disc golf bags and HelixDG
Destroyer
The Destroyer is the disc of choice for maximum distance, both backhand and sidearm.
Firebird
If you need a disc to go left no matter what, this is the right disc for you. You can throw this disc as hard as you want and it will not flip over. It is my favorite disc for strong head winds and hyzer shots. This disc is also over-stable in all weights!
TeeBird
MUST HAVE! I have four in my bag they can do EVERYTHING. It is a smooth straight flying disc, real easy to control. Every top pro to amateur would love this disc, so pick one up and put it in the bag!
