• Most Memorable Tournament Moment:
  2011 Pro Masters Disc Golf World Champion!
• Tough to pick, but probably the 2007 NorCal Championships in Oroville, CA. I found out with one hole to go in the tournament that I could tie for the lead with a birdie, and I through about a 380 foot shot to with in 15' for the tie. Then it was myself and Ray Johnson playing off on hole 1, and we both drove to within about 30', he putted first and missed, I stood over my putt for what seemed like an eternity, waiting for my eyes to stop blinking from nerves, and once they stopped, I aimed for the heart of the basket and somehow it went in for my first PDGA Open Division win! All the Santa Cruz guys were watching in support and afterwards we all went out for Margaritas on me!

Top 5 Courses Details:

1. De Laveaga, CA: Very technical drives, approaches, and extremely dangerous greens. Having the right distance shot is not enough, you need to land at the correct angle as determined by the slope of the greens.
2. Nockamixon, PA: Beautiful fairways through woods of deciduous trees, par 4's & 5's, elevation, streams, open grassy hills, views of a lake, just an amazing amount of variety in shots and scenery.
3. Whistlers Bend, OR: Beautiful location surrounded by a river, the course progresses through a meadow, into a pine forest and then out into rolling grass fields and oak trees. An 800 foot “top of the world” style shot and lots of views of the river through out.
4. Milo Mcgiver, OR (Beaver State Fling Layout): Huge trees, beautiful river and some of the funnest shots. Par 4's and 5's. Technical and open tee shots. Course was originally designed as an executive ball golf course, so there are lots of grassy fairways and it feels like a ball golf course.
5. Nasu Highlands, Japan: Wow, what a course. Designed on a exclusive ball golf course, unbelievable views, very challenging, fun shots. Par 4s and 5s, elevation. Golf carts and vending machines with ice cold Asahi Dry Beer! Seriously? In a word, EPIC!

Top 5 Tournaments Details:

4. Coyote Classic in Ventura: Great Venue, cool courses with elevation and tech shots and hey, an open bar after Saturday's round? Yeah, I'm there!
5. Patapsco Picnic, MD: Sweet course with a great combination of tight technical woods holes and a few wide open grassy shots. Beautiful grassy fairways and two sets of tees and baskets.
