🍁 Green Mountain Championships
31st

This event marked the end of my 2026 DGPT season and I’m so proud of all that I accomplished in the last seven months. In the moments on the course and between events it’s definitely felt like a long and occasionally stressful time. But I get to walk away with a bunch of positive moments that only shows how much I actually improved as a player; LFG 🔥

-Cashed at my first PDGA Major (USWDGC)
-Cashed at my first DGPT event (Des Moines)
-Cashed at the next event and placed 16th (Idlewild)
-Moved into the top 45 after GMC (securing a tour card for 2027…for now this could change after MVP but I don’t control that)
-Played well enough at GMC to earn 1 of 4 spots to MVP (I did decline this spot bc of work scheduling reasons made prior to knowing I’d get in. I also legit didn’t think I’d do good enough for a spot lol)

My rating has continued to go up all season. I’ve shot really amazing rounds all season. My putting confidence came back to me toward the end. And I feel excited for my future in this sport.

I’ll get to play one or two more events outside of the tour but I want to thank the @discgolfprotour staff. It’s a thankless job a lot of weeks and they’ve done a good job at shaping this tour for the pros and fans.
The season is never possible without my sponsors. @ledgestonediscgolf and @teamdiscraft step up to support me and I’m so thankful for the opportunity to represent them. And I have amazing people behind me from @dryv_bagz @chainsordye @fred_nation and @slightedge.pt. 💙

Most of all I want to thank my husband @grumpsut because his unwavering and undeniable support of me is the only reason sometimes I feel like I want to keep going. It’s hard when he isn’t around and it’s hard not to be home. He’s been there for all of my milestones. I love you.

I’ll be around at USWDGC/TPWDGC; see yall in Rock Hill!

From SFO —> LWS at Idlewild
It’s been an amazing season and right now I’m gearing up for what is planned as my last DGPT event for 2026! It’s unlikely I’ll get into MVP for the second playoff event. But I’m grateful I get to play this first playoff at GMC.

So many freaking milestones hit this season and at times it felt like I wasn’t moving in any direction. But I know when I take a look back in November after the disc golf heads into off season mode, I’ll realize how much I’ve accomplished 💙

Time to keep swimming.

✨2026 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships presented by 1st Phorm✨

I swear I threw some good shots this year 😅😅🫣

Worlds has been the tournament I look forward to the most the last three years so to finish as poorly as I did really hurts the soul. This year I’ve been refocusing my energy into more than just disc golf (work, the house, generally trying to get back into shape) and I think this tournament and the Women’s Championship a couple months ago really showed that’s I’ve stretched myself a bit thin. That’s okay though, we are going to call this a rebuilding year.

More importantly though, getting to catch up with friends is the best part about these trips anyway 💁‍♀️ you guys really do make the world go round 🥰

I’ll be taking a little time off to nurse an injury before establishing a solid practice routine so I can make an impact at the World Championships next year.

Thank you to absolutely everyone who continues to reach out and show their support. It means the world to me knowing I always have so many wonderful people backing me through my best and worst rounds.

Lastly, I couldn’t have made it through this tournament without @evanfurreal trucking along with me. He’s probably the real reason I made it through the four rounds (those hills are no freaking joke ☠️☠️). I love going on these adventures with you 🥰😘😘

Shoutout to @scorpiondiscgolf and @discraftunderground for the continued support over the years!!

59th at @pdga_proworlds 🦈

Sure this wasn’t the finish I was striving for but I had a lot of fun this week. All the PDGA majors bring so many people together from all over and the vibes at this worlds definitely hit different. I had a lot of fun off the course and enjoyed the challenge on the courses here in Michigan.

There’s so much of my game to be proud of and to takeaway as I enter this last stretch of the season. Had some amazing putting days and was throwing the disc well. I’m learning each time I step out onto the course against the best in the world and that’s going to keep me pushing forward.

Thanks to all the staff from @ledgestonediscgolf @pdga and the local community for the work y’all did to bring everything together!!

See y’all at Idlewild next 🌲

Queen City Classic…

Not a whole lot to recap as far as my disc golf game went. But I had sooooo much fun off the course with friends. Well, to be fair, on the course was still fun too. It’s hard to take away positives when the disc golfing wasn’t happening for me- especially on the green. It caused me to spiral and also lose confidence in my throws but I ended on a great note round 3!

Thank you to @ariellwalker16 @evanfurreal @emilyayale and @andrewjyale for letting me 3rd wheel everywhere w y’all all week. It’s hard not having @grumpsut out there but my friends are truly one of a kind. Thanks for constant kind words and just having some fun with me.

Shoutout to @ladydiscgolfer for being on the bag all weekend!! Seriously amazing vibes and brought the energy I needed and positivity. You’re such a beautiful soul 💜

I also got to see an old friend we played ultimate with- @benny.tango! That made round 3 super awesome.

I’m taking a “break” for 2 weeks while I dive into my “real job” as director over @collegediscgolf while we prep and run our annual National Championships. I’m SO PUMPED for this!! Make sure to tune in to CDG if you aren’t bc we are crowning our 2026 Champions soon 👀

Blessed to have amazing family and friends in my life. Thanks to everyone who was a part of my journey this past year and I’m looking forward to developing more friendships, strengthening the ones I have, and continuing to live this amazing adventure!

Disc golf is of course a massive part of my life and I’m looking forward to being back out on the DGPT in 2026. Thanks to my sponsors @discraftdiscgolf @teamdiscraft, @ledgestonediscgolf @dryv_bagz @scorpiondiscgolf and @chainsordye. I’m excited to continue to work with these amazing sponsors! Be on the lookout for a new sponsor announcement 👀
