Disc Golf - 2025 - Preview and Results
I’ve always used this site to talk about work stuff but I think I’m going to have a bit more fun with it. So in that vein I’m going to kick it off with some disc golf.
Last year I played in 19 tournaments! That was, easily, a personal record. Eighteen of them were amatuer and one professional. I won 5 of the amatuer events and the one professional. Overall, it was a good year. This year I don’t think I’ll play in as many - but I have played in four so far and have registered for five more already. If you are really curious you can follow along with my schedule on disc golf scene. For official “sanctioned” events you can also check out my PDGA profile.
So far this year I’ve played “okay” but haven’t really done anything outstanding. In my two pro events I have come in last place. In this past event I was only 2 strokes behind the winner but I was still in last (of 3 players). Pretty disappointing. In my one Advanced event (playing against mostly younger, better, players) I did pretty well and finished in 5 out of 15.
In addition to the events I am scheduled for this year already I have a bunch on my “watchlist” - 13 in fact! Wow. Also one I know I will be at which isn’t “watchable” yet. I may actually surpass last years record. I have a problem.
Im most excited about the Tennessee State Championship. It will be the biggest event I’ve played in and I’m playing in the MP50 (mixed-gender, pro 50 years and older). It should be a big challenge and a lot of fun.
I started the season with a rating of 919. So far it has fallen, already, to a 915. I have 11 career wins in 82 events. Historically, I’ve gunned for at least 1 win per 10 events. I’m ahead of that would like to stay there. Last year was so successful for me it will be hard to surpass. However, I still have some goals for this year that I think are achievable.
Goals
- [ ] End of Year Rating > 920
- [ ] At least one tournament victory
- [ ] At least one "cash" position in a pro event
As I compete I’ll keep this post update with my results and track my season goals. I may have some individual posts based on certain events. Stay tuned!
