Longest Throw: 390? (Not measured)
Forehand or Backhand, why?: Backhand, I’m more confident and comfortable with it and am more consistent with it.

What do you love about Disc Golf: Being outside, the freedom to play whenever you want and all the friends I’ve made all over the country.
How do you grow the sport: I help with beginner clinics that Blyth Squad Disc Golf Club hosts. I am looking forward to using the EDGE package I won at Jr Worlds to teach K - 6th graders about disc golf.

Favorite Disc Golfer: Paige Pierce
Favorite Disc: 11x Champ Gazelle/Champ PD2
Longest Throw: 260-300ft?(unmeasured)
Forehand or Backhand, why?: Sidearm. Feels more natural. I am stronger with this throw and it goes farther than my backhand.
Drive or Putt, why?: Drive. You get to see the disc fly farther than a putt.
Junior Disc Golf Advice: If you have a bad hole you can’t edit that. Just forget about it and know the next hole will be better.
What do you love about Disc Golf: It’s fun to just unleash your inner skills.
How do you grow the sport: I don’t really grow the sport. I just play the sport and have fun. I have gone to work parties but I don’t really think about growing the sport. (Although, Saul has helped his family TD Junior Disc Golf Tournaments)
