“Hello everyone, I Started my Disc Golf Journey 2 months ago. I am 35 years old, I am currently a resident in Daly City, California, but play disc golf in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco and Walden Park in Walnut Creek, California. For years I debated on playing this sport, because I was always interested in trying it. I am also an avid golfer. Once I picked up a disc and went to a course I was hooked..

This journey through disc golf has helped me relax and be less stressed. I would love to play in an actual tournament someday, just need to practice and hone my skills more…”
