Morley Player Profile: Brandon Langston
Brandon Langston
PDGA#37506
Advanced Amateur
Started Playing Disc Golf:
I played disc golf for the first time in 7th grade P.E. A new teacher at my school in Arcata, Mr. Shaddix, was a disc golfer and ultimate player. His first order of business was to bring it into our P.E. class. We learned a handful of different shots to throw while playing on our football field aiming for a pole that had a 5′ circle drawn around it. I forgot about the game after that until I picked it up again around ’00. My first tournament was in 2005.
First Disc:
Innova Hammer in ’89 which I proceeded to loose that same day.
Favorite Hole:
Hole 11. It’s very social, a good time for a break and if it is a weekend you’ll likely be there longer than any other hole.
5 aces so far. Hole 2 twice, 6, 8 and 19.
Favorite Disc:
Sparkle Squall (aka bass boat)
Favorite Driver:
Star Destroyer since I’ve thrown it the furthest and have aced with it.
Favorite Midrange:
1st run Champ Gator is always with me
Favorite Putter:
I’ve moved to a few different putters and haven’t been convinced any are my favorite yet
“In My Bag”:
Star Destroyer, Star X Caliber, Champion Firebird, Champion Teebird, Champion Leopard, Champion Gator, Sparkle Squall, Z Wasp, Discmania P1 and P2 Putter
Top Morley Finishes:
2007 Spring Fling Intermediate Winner
2008 Sunrise Showdown Intermediate 2nd place
2008 Morley Field Course Championships Amateur Champion

Favorite Disc Golf Website:
DiscGolfersR.us is where I go most often.
Favorite Pro Player:
All that I have met and/or played with have been great.
Tip For Other Players:
Learn to throw an arsenal of shots. Hyzer, Anhyzer, Forehand and a Roller are a good place to start.
