Greatest strength as a disc golfer: I am a persistent and even player. In general I tend to play very constant rounds. I know my limits and my strenghts. I think I have a good mental game too… I can take bad rounds and good rounds and find the good in them and learn from mistakes I made.

CAREER HIGHLIGTHS

I have actually not won any PDGA tournaments, but I have managed to finish in top 3 a few times. My highlights are more on the experience side of disc golf. Scandinavian open 2015 is still one of my favorite tournaments what comes to meeting players, people etc. I like to think that a well run tournament is always an experience, especially if it is on a course I have not played before. Also meeting new people around the sport is important… players, manufacturers representatives, local TD’s etc. And of course one of the biggest things for me was to be able to represent the sport in Latitude 64° colours.

DISC GOLF GOALS

Evolve technically so I can still compete against younger players. To tell people about disc golf and to represent the sport. By speaking of sport I mean serious sport rather than just as a hobby, because it is and can be both. And what I really would like to do is to give clinics in smaller towns and cities and also to help smaller clubs to start their journey. It is really a good sport to have in towns less than 5000 people, a good way to activate people and help to prevent becoming marginalized.
