Any pre-round rituals?

After a healthy breakfast I will show up about 1 hour before my round to gear up and get out there. I start with putting, playing some catch and then throwing some holes. Generally I'll stretch during the players meeting.

What has enabled you to achieve success in the sport?

A natural ability to throw discs since I was a small child. My dad was instrumental in my Frisbee throwing career and it came by accident. , We were fortunate to grow up having a family cabin on a now famous island called “Pender” Having no idea what disc golf was we used to play a game up hill from our cabin on the lake where we took 99 cent Frisbees to throw around. The object was to hit a poll. There was 18 holes. We would run through the course a couple of time and then walked home. I never once though that this was a legitament sport, nor my family for that matter thus nothing ever came of it at an early age but a Pender exclusive game to play that was loads of fun! It was not until the summer of 2002 that I threw a “real” golf disc. I was hooked my first throw. Ever since then I have played with some phenominal disc golfers and have been learning ever since.

How do you prepare for a tournament?
I will do my best to make certain I'm able to play the course chosen for the tournament in the previous day, or week. Work on my mental game. Practice my putting, hit the gym to work on my core and play, play play disc golf, tho not too much, so I can stay fresh for game day!

Goals for 2007

Work on my business and help my partner with his disc golf business. During the spring and summer I will be helping with clinics and ladies night out (women's disc golf night I started a couple years ago) Also I am proactive to strengthen myself with our personal trainer and working on disc golf techniques in open fields to get ready for some touring in 2008

Pet peeves?

Players who throw trash on the course, or leave their empty bottles on the ground for the local "bottle collector" aka,"bum" to pick up instead of packing it out, or putting it in the trash can. I think the course should be left cleaner than you found it.

Have you added any new throws over the off season?

What’s in the bag?

It's a mixed bag at the moment filled with Elements, wizards, beast's and tee-birds

Words of huck wisdom for new players?

Don't be afraid to ask questions. We all had to start somewhere!


Off the Course:

What do you do when you not out huckin’?

I work as a qualified esthetician continually developing my own personal business in the health and wellness industry. I have developed a company named “Soulful Indulgence” A new spa experience where we bring the spa and it’s services to the customer’s home or desired venue. I also have a private Studio in my home (in Canada eh) where clients can come and escape from their hectic lives for some pampering. S.I offer wellness consulting and is huge about sustainability and the environment. For example all the linens are washed in a biodegradable wash that is eco- friendly and all our products are as natural and safe as possible with optimal results. So to answer the question about what I do when I’m off the course…it’s doing laundry, paperwork, spa parties, services,studying, advertising and of course hang out with my friends when possible, watch movies with my boyfriend along with training with our personal trainer
