PERSONAL DISC GOLF GOALS: To do my best in every round I play and try to remember to have fun. To continue to teach new players and to promote the game.
ROLE MODELS/INFLUENCES:
I have many Disc Golf folks (and canines) that have influenced me over the years. To name them all would take too much space, so here are some...Ned Smethers, Laron Harris, Bruce Hudson, Rick Rothstein, Mark Martin, C.D. Steiner, Peter Shive, Charlie Bauersfeld, Ken Climo, Jeremy Rusco, Dean Uhlman, Andy Lewis, Mister Gus, and Cindy Butler.
ADVICE: Don't get too upset or angry with yourself over a shot, or a round. Even though the round or the tournament ends, the game goes on all your life. Try to live in and savor the times you have on the course. Cherish your family and friends and the time you have with them.
