Name: Glenn Swanson
PDGA#: n/a
Division: Pro. But only by default. I learn more by getting beat down by the pros
Began Playing Disc Golf: tender age of ten (officially; I’m sure my dad took me out before then) I have a picture of myself throwing on hole 8 and it has a 1993 date on the back.
First Disc: The Viper. I loved that thing. My dad let me use it because it was already beat to mush
Favorite Hole at Morley (and why?): 7 long. Being a lefty with a little power, I’m able to ride the valley and give myself an opportunity for birdie sometimes. Also I love to watch righties fumble with all the discs In their bag because they cant figure out the best line to the basket.
Morley Field Aces: 4c, 8b w/snapper, 11a, 13c twice, 15a
Favorite Disc (and why?): my 150g esp flick. I know that when I throw that disc it will be two things: fast and entertaining.
Favorite Driver (and why?): my boss. It’s fast, stable, predictable, and when thrown properly, will go as far as I need it to.
Favorite Midrange (and why?): my Crystal z Buzz. Tacky, easy to grip, and easy to control. Even for a bum like me.
Favorite Putter (and why?): JK pro-x. Soft, stable, and seems to like the chains if and when it hits ‘em. I’ve got a moldy Orange one I throw to this day.. ..maybe it’s time for a new one. Maybe.
In My Bag: mostly max weight: star boss, champ destroyer, esp flick, first run nuke, Buzz, 12x firebird for long overhands, nuke os for forehand, star Roc for my less stable endeavors, also a second or third run ce valkyrie for my long and straight drives
Tourney Top 5 finishes (not necessarily from Morley): 3rd @ monthly (open), 1st @ monthly (adv), 2nd @ spring fling(ma1), I think I finished 4th or 5th at an ace race too if that counts :)
Favorite Disc Golf Website: probably my new-found love dollar disc golf auctions on Facebook. There’s a lot of great plastic and some very knowledgeable folks. My fiance gets mad at me because I’m on it all night.
Favorite Pro Player: not really sure on that one
Tips for newer players and players looking to improve: find a friend and play as much as you can. Pick the brains of those around the pro shop. Also, don’t go for so many putts outside your comfort zone. I see a lot of scores inflate because people are trying to sink 60 footers instead of taking par. Those birds will come in due time.
ProPutt gives you the ability to effectively record your putting sessions and analyze where you need improvement. This will lead to more confident shots which will allow you to shoot lower scores every time you hit the course. Click HERE for link to the companies website.
