Advanced Masters, aiming for Pro Grandmaster in 2012
Began Playing Disc Golf:
Who knows? 1978 was my first time playing on baskets @ Rockledge Disc Golf Course (pay-to-play), Rockledge, FL. Played in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, WDGC’s. Took 15 years off to raise kids and my blood pressure – glad to be back.
First Disc:
Wham-O Fastback – First Golf Disc = DGA/Wham-O Midnight Flyer 40-mold
Favorite Disc:
Shuttle Puppy – I carry a 25-yr-old SP in my bag for long putts/approaches. Don’t bet against it going in.
Favorite Drivers:
Sidewinder – great driver for lower-armspeed golfers like me, TeeBird – great all-around driver – very versatile – you’re insane if you don’t carry one.
Favorite Midranges:
Innova Star Mako
Favorite Putter:
Innova RW-Pro Polecat

Tips for newer players and players looking to improve:
Play your own game – not someone else’s. Don’t throw max weight to prove your manhood, unless you want to see me beat you throwing 150-class. Play the course, not your opponent or your ego. Golf is a thinking man’s game – don’t forget it. That, of course, means that many folks will never get it…
