Austin Berntsen – Norman, Oklahoma

“I have 4 aces. The most memorable being with my brothers playing a round and I threw an errant shot in the direction of the long basket and my brothers heckle me for it then it ricocheted off a tree into the basket for the ace and I ran it all the way in!…I also enjoy the course design aspect of disc golf and hope…

Brandon Oakes – White Oak, Pennsylvania

“Oatmeal Crème Pies, all you have to do is ask if you find me on the course and I’ll have one for you!… As long as I can leave the course learning something new, it’s been a good round. Whether it’s just a new stance in putting, or knowing I can hit a certain line will make me feel like I’ve accomplished something to help…

Jack Reid – Frederick, Maryland

“I originally joined the PDGA in 1999 for no other reason than I thought it would be cool to say I was a member. Those were the days of buying discs for the names and graphics and not really understanding the flight numbers, weights or other characteristics…Outside of disc golf I love hiking, kayaking, running, yoga and meditation…“ Welcome to another edition of our Disc…

Jonathan Armstrong – Seneca, South Carolina

“Originally got introduced to the sport when it was known as Frisbee Golf. My parents introduced it to my brother and I when I was 10. In the area we lived in there were not baskets but rather there was Fence posts that were setup on a part of a campground/golf course.…” Welcome to another edition of our Disc Golf Player Profile publication – where…

Joseph Thomes – Sauk Rapids, Minnesota

“Was just a casual golfer until 3 years ago, started playing local leagues then and just started my tournament journey this year. Shot a 950 rated round my first ever sanctioned round! …waiting 10 years for my first ace, and then having it be with my best friend and long time disc buddy. Playing on a mountain in Montana was unbelievable…” Welcome to another edition of…

Liam Henzmann – Cocoa, Florida

“My two most memorable disc golf moments are my first Ace and first win. I got my first Ace in 2020 playing with a local league (Bold Saucers) in the pouring rain, it turned a miserable round into a remarkable one. I just got my first win playing MA2 in the 6th annual RW Classic in June 2022. I have podiumed a dozen times, but…

Alyssa Bailey – Durham, North Carolina

“I’m a competition junkie! I love the competition aspect of it, but I love all my casual rounds. It’s actually how I met a lot of people. Disc golf brought me out of my shell. I’m generally introverted, but when I’m playing disc golf and met me out on the course, you would never know that!…I didn’t play in my first sanctioned tournament until 2020.…

Nick Melendez – Stroudsburg, PA

“My first ace will always be one to remember. Also my first tournament in 2023. My best memory might be the course my friends and I got to design and build and now have a fully running 18 hole course with a weekly tags league running with great turnouts!… Skywood DGC in Cresco, PA. My friends and I just designed and constructed the course a…

Ethan Stelter – Grand Rapids, Michigan

“I got started with disc golf when my family would go out and play a course near our shack (cabin) and just have some fun. I got really into it when my school started a disc golf club so I and my dad played a round to get some practice in before I played in the club. Then the club got canceled but by that…

Matt Stelter – Grand Rapids, Michigan

“A perfect round of disc golf for me would be just a fun casual round with my two sons joined by a top touring pro disc golfer. Perhaps we met this pro by chance at Fallasburg Park, and said pro needed some locals to play with to show him/her around the course. All of us would be shooting well that day – hitting all of…
