Interview with George Smith, Columbia, MO
PDGA #4034

How long have you been playing disc golf?

I started playing in 1984 at the age of 13.

Do you remember the first golf disc you ever threw?

Yes, I started playing w/ a Kitty Hawk. Then I got an Aero.

Which course do you call home?

My home course is Albert Oakland Back. Still one of my all time favorites.

You’ve been touring for a long time so I’d imagine your pre-round routine is pretty dialed in. Will you give us some insight into how you get ready, physically and mentally, to compete in an event?

Yes, I’m not travelling as much this year as in the past so I can be more focused & rested.

What have been the go to discs for you this season?

My go to disc will always be a wizard, but I have been throwing the Diablo very well this year.

You are in the minority a bit throwing Gateway versus one of the larger manufacturers. Does that offer any additional motivation?

Somewhat, the way we challenge each other to play better & stay positive is a great source for motivation.

Alright, leave us with your dream foursome for the final round of your tournament career…
