<p>Hometown : Galena, OH<br>PDGA # : 7992<br>January 2025 PDGA Rating : 1007<br>I've played for  : Played for 35, been a PDGA member for 32<br>Manufacturer Sponsor : Discraft<br>Division : MPO and MP40</p> <p>"Who introduced me to the sport of Disc Golf? <br>My dad got my older brother (3 yrs) and I playing when we were kids. I started when I was around 12 and he was 15. Both of us played travel ball when we lived in Texas, but after a move to Ohio, we both were looking for something to keep us occupied. After a few months of playing, we were all hooked and started competing in local events. "</p> <p>"What is your biggest Disc Golf accomplishment? Your most proud moment in the sport? <br>For me, it has to be back to back Tim Selinske US Masters titles in MP40. There have been a lot of wins outside of those, but I was also very proud to win the Brent Hambrick Memorial in MPO when it was a National Tour. "</p> <p>"Whats your favorite disc color to throw? <br>Pink"</p> <p>"What weight drivers do you like to throw? <br>Almost always max weight. "</p> <p>"What one disc do you throw the farthest? Pure distance <br>ESP or Big Z Nuke"</p> <p>"What do you putt with? <br>APX swirls"</p> <p>"What course did you fall in love with Disc Golf on? <br>Brent Hambrick Memorial"</p> <p>"Whats the Tournament you circle on the calendar 1st as a cant miss? <br>So many, but it has to be our local BHMO every year. I help out with the Am side, and play in the Pro side. "</p> <p>"In one sentence or less, tell us one interesting thing about you not disc golf related? <br>I was the first in my family to go to college and get my degree. I worked full time after highschool to help fund my Bachelors and have always had a job while playing disc golf. "</p> <p>"Tell us about your Tournament Day routine and if you carry any lucky charms? <br>My routine is pretty boring, but as I have gotten older, I do try to stretch more before starting. I always try to get some food in my system, and play at least 3-4 holes before the round starts. After a few holes, I will spend 10-15 minutes putting and then I am ready to go. Getting to the course too early is actually terrible for me, I am the most impatient person in the mid-west so waiting around is bad news."</p> <p>"When you play a new course for a tournament what is your plan of action. Play it blind, walk some holes, get the details from a card mate? Tell us how you attack a new course. <br>Playing a new course blind is almost always bad news for me. My goal would be to play as many holes as possible, and if that is not doable, I will walk them. If the course is open, that is not as important, but for wooded courses or one that has a lot of OB, I need to see it. "</p> <h1>Brad's Bag Suggestions</h1>
