On the Course:

Melo putts at Timber Park

Any pre-round rituals?
Eat and drink a lot of water. Strech, and listen to music to get me
pumped up.

What has enabled you to achieve success in the sport?
Wanting to. Being willing to practice through rain, snow or whatever else
may come along. Drive is a powerful thing, I try to use it to my
advantage.

How do you prepare for a tournament?
Practice. Take as many putts as possible, and I like to play a round of
ball golf, it helps with my focus.

Goals for 2008
Win a supertour event, shoot a par round on a ball golf course, and not
have any regrets.

Pet peeves?
Cheaters and people who aren't true to themselves.

Have you added any new throws over the off season?
Not really. I try to throw a putter for most mid ranges, I'm working on
not throwing a Roc.

What’s in the bag?
Pro Starfires, Pro Wraiths, KC Aviar, Pro Line Rhyno, Classic Rocs,
Champion Gazelles, Champion Firebirds, Star Roadrunner, DX Roc, Sidewinder,
Star Destroyer.

Words of huck wisdom for new players?
Stick with it, everyone was once where you are now.


Off the Course:

Melo drives at Timber

What do you do when you not out huckin’?
Playing golf, snowboarding, skateboarding, going to school, play music,
hang out with my friends and talk about huckin'.

Who are your role models?
My best friend, cause he's so awesome. You know who you are.

What motivates you?
Seeing others successful in the sport and the want and drive to get to
that level, and I want to go out there and have a good time, and when I do
it motivates me.

Academic pursuits?
Graduate from University of Oregon sometime next year...

Personal pursuits, dreams?
Get better at keeping the cool under pressure.
Life goals?
Watch Tiger Woods play in a championship, get married someday, maybe win a
USDGC (haha), and have an all around good time.
