DISC GOLF MOMENTS

One of my most memorable disc golf moments was my first year I started playing tournaments. I was playing in the amateur women’s division at Disc Girls Gone Wild and qualified for the skins match. I got paired with Catrina Allen and we ended up taking home a few skins at the end. I remember it being so exciting that I was getting to play doubles with some of the best players in the game. It was definitely an inspiration to continue to improve my game and move to the professional division.

BEGINNER TIPS

Favorite discs

Mercy

“I putt with a Zero Hard Mercy, and also use it as a throwing putter in Zero Soft and Opto plastic. It’s a very consistent putter for me, and a great approach disc. I can put it under the basket almost every time within 150 feet.”
