HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR A TOURNAMENT?
Try to visualize one or two of the "key" holes. Holes that you can gain an advantage on with a good shot. Then try to work on those holes on your home course or practice field. It might be a short roller or a severe anhyzer.
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE TOURNAMENTS?
1. USDGC - When it is the OPEN, it is the standard for all disc golf events.
2. Glass Blown Open - It has been a blast to watch this event grow and be part of it the entire ride in one way or another.
3. Pimpin the Holes Open - The event that started it all for me. First tourney to play and first tourney to TD. It will never be huge but it will always be fun.
WHAT ARE YOUR TOP 3 FAVORITE COURSES?
1. The one that I am currently playing.
2. The one that I am getting ready to play.
3. The one I just left.

ROLE MODELS/INFLUENCES:
I try to learn something during every round. You can learn from people just by watching them.
ADVICE: Try to remember that it is just a game. I know, "practice what you preach".
