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.

Favorite Hole at Morley: #5 - I love big, wide open hyzer shots
Morley Field Aces: Hole #16
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.

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...
