Morley Player Profile: Jeremy Reynolds

Jeremy J. Reynolds

PDGA#: 62041 Division: Rec, but as I get better I will move up divisions as time goes by

Began Playing Disc Golf?: I started playing in 2012. My friend Brian Duran took me to Sun Valley Golf Course to show me the sport to me. It was brand new to me. I have never heard of the sport ever. I played with some discs he gave me because I didn't have any discs of my own. I think I did alright that day. And after that I got a bag and some discs, since then I play as much as possible and play in as many tournaments as I can. I usually play 1-2 times a week now. He showed me how to play the sport and now I can not get enough of it. I am so excited to go to the course and throw plastic. My usual courses I go to are; Sun Valley, Morley Field, and Kit Carson Disc Golf course.

First Disc?: My first disc that was given to me was a tsunami-170. But really my first disc that I call my own, because I feel that my first disc was the disc that I bought first. And that disc was a Vector Eclipse Glow Proton-180.

Favorite Hole at Morley and Why?: I would probably say my favorite hole at Morley Field would be hole 6. I love how hole 14 is a blind throw from the top of the hill. It helps me with aiming and consistency to a blind basket.

Morley Field Aces?: I have not yet gotten any aces an any course that I have played at; however, I am getting really close to getting my first ace. I have almost aced a few but missed the basket by inches, and a few actually have chained out. So, no I haven't gotten any aces yet, but there will be an ace in my bag sooner than later.

Favorite Disc and Why?: My favorite disc probably has to be either my black Gauge-180, or my blue McPro Aviar-175 Paul McBeth World Championships back to back championships 2012-2013.

Favorite Driver and Why?: My favorite driver is probably one of my three Cannons. Cannons are golden ticket to a killer drive. I can throw my cannons over 100 yards. A cannon is my go to driver on a long drive at the tee pad at any course I play at.

Favorite Midrange and Why?: My favorite midrange disc probably has to be my Pinnacle Ghost I got at the 2013 Cactus Finale in Phoenix Arizona.

Favorite Putter and Why?: My favorite putter has to be my blue McPro Aviar-175 Paul McBeth World Championships back to back championships 2012-2013. It is very consistent for me, and I can depend on it for a medium to long putt to hit the chains and make the putt. This putter is one of the only two putters I carry when I go to a course.

Whats In My Bag?:

Drivers: White San Diego Aces Club white Cannon-173 White Legacy Cannon-171 Green Legacy Cannon-175 Black Legacy Rampage-174 Clear Blue SoCal Disc Golf Championship 2013-Cannon-175

Mid-range: Purple Vector Eclipse Glow Proton-180 Pink Obex Vibram-172 Off White Innova Rhyno-170 Clear Purple Pinnacle Ghost-180 (I won at the 2013 Cactus Finale in Phoenix, Az.) White Pinnacle Ghost-180 Black Guage-180 (I received at the Ace Run: 2013)

Putters: Blue McPro Aviar-175 Paul McBeth World Championships back to back championships 2012-2013 So Cal Disc Golf Championship 2013-180 (Tournament at Kit Carson: September 2013) JK Pro Aviar-X Juliana Korner (Five Time PDGA Women's World Disc Golf Champion)

Tourney Wins or Top Finishes?: My first Tournament: 2012 Sun Valley Open Finished last in MA3 division (placed fourth by one stroke)

2013 SoCal championship Tournament: Kit Carson (placed 8th place out of 19 people in MA3 Division)

2013 Cactus Finale: phoenix, AZ. (placed 19th out of 21 people in MA2 Division)

Favorite Pro Player?: My favorite pro player has to be either Paul McBeth, or A.J. Risley. When I was at the 2013 SoCal Championship Tournament at Kit Carson, I watched both Paul McBeth and A.J. Risley play. Paul won the entire thing. I followed him in his final 9 holes to just watch the top 4 players paly this amazing sport and I was completely astonished by all their skills.

Tips for newer players and players looking to improve: Play as much as you possibly can. Watch YouTube videos on disc golf when you can. I have learned so much from just watching pros on YouTube. Watch pros at tournament as well. In person and on utube are two different experiences and it will only help you get better in this sport. Play with people that are better than you so you can learn from them, and when you are better than them, play with other people that are then better than you so you get better all the time. Find out what discs work for you by doing field work as much as possible, by going to an open park and just throwing all your discs to see what works for you and what doesn't. Only carry what works for you in your bag when you play. And lastly, do as many tournaments as possible, because you get free swag, you can get prizes from the raffles, you can get awards or prizes from winning in your division, and most importantly you can learn from all the other players in the tournaments.

Spring Fling 2014 Wrapup

This year’s all AM Spring Fling Event was one of the most competitive tournaments we’ve ever had. After the first round the leaders in nearly each of the six contested categories had a very narrow lead on their respective fields. The PDGA’s player rating system does a very good job of forcing players to move up when they are too strong for a lower division thus insuring the divisions remain highly competitive. The premier Advanced division had 33 of the total 97 player field. Everybody’s favorite player Oscar Garcia put down a fine -12 effort to win wire to wire. In year’s past Oscar has been a volunteer for this event but this year he tested the waters and came up a big 5 stroke winner in his first big tourney victory. Oscar won a Chainstar basket from Discraft for his efforts.

The Masters category was the other big category where the recently turned 40, Mario Traba won a Chainstar basket for his 2 stroke victory over first round leader Michael Homan.

The Woman’s category had a strong 6 gal field. Vanessa Van Dyken’s powerful drives and steady putting proved to be too strong for the field winning by a handy 8 strokes over local Allie Robles. Vanessa’s half sister Sara Openshaw took 3rd in her first tourney ever.

The Am 2 Intermediate division saw Bob McGarity hang on for a narrow 2 stroke victory over a fast charging Glen Kluge.

The Am 3 Recreational/Novice division had to be decided in sudden death with Michael Woodruff pulling out a W over first round leader Zack Fluty.

The “ole guy” Grandmaster division saw long time Morley local Glenn Swanson Sr. with his magnificent age defying overhead throws win by 5 strokes over SD team representative Fred Aguero. Third place went to Chris Dodds another old time Morley local who just recently took up disc golf again.

As part of their tourney experience all the players were treated to lunch: Costco pizza, fresh Cali Kebab salads and sliced apples and oranges along with drinks. There was also a free drawing at the end of regulation play where over 60 items donated by the disc manufactures were won by the tourney participants.

This year over 40 % of the field earned prizes totaling over $4050. All the winners won plaques from NP Trophy and all 2nd place winners earned framed certificates.

Player packages included a tourney T shirt and 2 mini’s. A big thanks goes out to our disc manufactures Discraft, Dynamic Distribution(The trilogy Latitude 64, Westside, Dynamic Discs), Innova Champion, Legacy, MVP, Gateway, and Millennium as well as the San Diego Aces organization and SoCal Disc Golf.

I owe a big debt of gratitude to my core staff of Mac, Garrett, Jesse Eric Simmons, his son EJ (see pizza boxes), and Mark Wilson. All shop staff went out of their way to do loads of extra work especially Tyler and Mitchell and Steve on clean up

Thanks to everyone till next year

Dynamic Discs Ranger Backpack - Review

“I like big bags and I cannot lie.”Something in me believes that the more money I spend to gear up, or the better I look in my disc golf threads, will somehow lead to lower scores on the course. Never has happened to me. Probably never will. But, sometimes an item comes along that can take a day on the course from a grind to a lot more pleasurable (and in this case more comfortable) day of disc golf. This indeed leads to a better overall experience. The more we can relax and enjoy our round allows us to perform better. Our minds are put at ease and we can concentrate on our game and have fun.Screen Shot2 2014-01-20 at 8.13.40 PM

First Impressions: The weight of the Dynamic Discs Ranger Backpack seems to be distributed evenly vertically through the design to avoid the saggy-bag-dead weight-at-the-bottom- syndrome or SBDWATBS. The soft molded back panel seems to relieve most pressure points that many backpacks (disc golf and non disc golf) fail to properly address. This immediately was a win for me. My comfort increased over a few plays with my body feeling accustomed to a new addition. An ergonomic weight distribution is a great feature that disc golf backpacks have over conventional over-the-shoulder or disc golf bag w/back-straps. Too many players suffer fatigue that they might not realize comes from this proverbial sack of rocks hanging over their shoulder and/or back. Even carrying a bag on the non-throwing arm can cause body fatigue. Most players I spoke with that tried or actually own the bag felt very comfortable with the bag’s center of gravity. Just about right. Adjusting the shoulder straps for a player’s height and build optimize the effect. The shoulder straps are comfortable yet not very large or padded compared to most of the quad strap manufacturers. I noticed that it was much easier to place my arm through the straps over my shoulders. Some larger/padded straps require tweaking the arm and, more importantly, shoulder back sometimes too far to wedge the arm in its proper position. Not in this case. The molded back also allows MUCH NEEDED cross ventilation between the player’s back and the surface of the bag (see below). On a hot day, or for big, sweaty dudes (like me), this is a must.This by far is one of the bag’s best features.

Presentation2The "On-Deck" putter pocket is a great take on the putter pocket design. Two putters can be securely placed in the bag's side pouch with ease (once broken in). Some bags/backpacks have convenient putter pocket locations in theory, but when the time comes to remove or place the putter back in the pocket, it comes with force and fidgeting. Not with the "On-Deck's" pouch design. With the Ranger's side putter pocket, the top of the bag now becomes a very large storage compartment. I can easily fit a jacket or hooded sweatshirt, snacks, drinks, etc. in the top storage area. Though the compartment is not insulated or waterproof, storage of chilled can beverages is possible.

One of the backpack’s best compliments lies in the fact that it’s easy to tell that the Ranger Backpack was designed by disc golfers of MANY levels of play. Too many times sports accessory products are designed for either Pro level players who know exactly what they need to be effective or products aimed at entry-level players, designed to be newbie-friendly, but lack the utilitarian features most players soon tend to want/need. One of our favorite features is the Collapsible Stool Holster/2nd Cup Holder. A small feature, yet well thought out. No wasted space. Both options add value to the bag with no loss of space.

More “small” features I appreciated: - The disc compartment cover rolls itself to the top of compartment. Out of the way, but ready to use in a snap. - Reinforced feet on the bottom of the bag lift the bag off of the ground just enough to avoid contact with wet or muddy surfaces. Too many times I have placed a bag over my back with a waterproof bottom only to end up with a wet or muddy back. This is due to the flat surface of the bag’s bottom. It’s a little thing, but it’s well thought out. - A dedicated towel clip. Yes, a tiny, but useful item. I’ve probably spent a total of 18 hours of my life in my decades of playing, untangling my towel that was clipped onto my straps connector hooks. What a pain. Never again! - Don’t laugh at this one, but I love that the water bottle holder is not exactly shaped in the form of a full cylinder attached to the side of the back. It is more of an expanding half circle/slit that uses its tension to hold most any beverage shaped item safely and tightly against the bag. I can bend over with the backpack on and not fear a gust of liquid down my back and I don’t have to tighten/loosen/tighten a drawstring every time I need a drink. Again, a little thing, but well thought out. A small part of the expanding holder is mesh just in case of a spill. It will drain out.

Style: Style is VERY subjective. I personally thought the first run of grey on black bags looked a bit like a large camera pack. The Ranger Backpack now available varies from the stylish Quasar Blue to the more subtle working-class Charcoal. Compared to a few other disc golf backpacks on the market, I did find the Ranger Backpack to look slightly boxy. Not a bad thing per se, just a very subjective opinion. I do believe this design choice offers more storage space than some competitor’s bags, so that’s a fair tradeoff. It works.

Craftsmanship: Without going into fabric or stitching details which make no sense to most of us, let’s just say that every panel, zipper, clip, and pocket seem to be of sturdy design. It is built to hold up much longer than most bags found on any course. In SoCal (our location), weather rarely becomes a factor. Our weather ranges from highs of 85 degrees in the summer, down to a chilly 75 degrees in the winter. Somehow we get by. But, for those living with an actual changing climate, this bag looks to be built for frequent and heavy use. Not rainproof, but built to hold up in rougher conditions. In a few months we will address how the bag holds up for us over greater use. Based on first impressions, I think this design bodes well for heavy use.

Value: With a list price of $174.99, it is VERY easy to say that this bag is a great value. Relative to other disc golf backpacks on the market, the Dynamic Discs Ranger Backpack comes in costing much less than most backpacks with a similar level of quality.

Bottom line: - Well thought out design - Very comfortable (as backpacks go) - Well built - Great price

These all add up to make the Dynamic Discs Ranger Backpack worthy of your next disc golf bag purchase. Highly recommended!

Began Playing Disc Golf?:  18 February 2012. My cousin Jose Duran invited me to play "disc golf" at morley field. I had never heard of disc golf before, and had no idea what he was talking about. Jose explained the game real quick, and I laughed in his face and made fun of him... Disc golf sounded like a girly sport and a waste of time. After playing holes 1-5 at Morley I went to the shop and bought 5 discs! I have been hooked ever since!

First Disc?: I bought 5 discs my very first time ever playing... Angel Garcia was working the shop and I asked him what I should buy. Angel sold me - DX ROC, Star Dart, KC Pro 12X ROC (still have it), Champion Roadrunner, Champion Mamba. Thanks Angel! hahaha

Favorite Hole at Morley and Why?: My favorite hole at Morley has to be hole 1. Doesn't matter the pin position I just like hanging out before rounds, after rounds etc. and watching other people approach the hole. When I was a newbie at the course I didn’t know much about the game or disc selection. I would hang out at Hole 1's bench and try to link up with good players or groups of players to learn more about the game. I've had the privilege to shoot rounds with sponsored players, knowledgeable players, players that ran their mouths too much until my score at the end of the round shut them up!... LOL...

Morley Field Aces?: My one and only Ace is 9C... My little brother was there to see it. It was with a MVP Axis 180g, it was a straight laserbeam shot, clipped a tree branch, hit a tree to the right bounced hard left, hit another tree and kicked right into the cage! It was ridiculous!

Favorite Disc and Why?: 11X Firebird 175g I always have two of them in my bag. I love the feel of the 11x plastic, and the firebird just does exactly what I want it to do! Plus, I throw a mean thumber and the 11x plastic seems to hold up better than the 12x plastic.

Favorite Driver and Why?: First run Proto stamp Star Destroyer! I have quite a collection of first run Destroyers. A lot of people get mad that I throw them, but they fly beautifully and feel perfect in my hand. I don't see the point in hoarding great discs and not letting them fly...

Favorite Midrange and Why?: My favorite midrange is my CE Gator... She does exactly what I want her to do and she's quite the meat hook! Plus the CE pearly plastic feels oh so sexy!

Favorite Putter and Why?: My favorite putter is the Black 5X JK Pro Aviar-X 175G. The JK was introduced to me by the very wise Mark Wilson... He saw me putting with a KC Pro Aviar and he asked me why I was using those. I told him I had seen a lot of the Open players at Morley putting with them. I told him I like the stability of the putter, but not the feel of them. They felt slippery and really stiff. He bought me two JK's that moment and I have been putting with those ever since, and I love them!

Whats In My Bag?: 3 Black JK Avairs 2 First Run Destroyers CE Whippet X CE Gator 2 11x Firebirds Big Bird stamp Roc3 Teebird AJ Edition First Run NukeOS Wasp Elite Z 2 Ti Stalkers First Run Zombee Ti buzz

Favorite Disc Golf Websites?: www.morleyfield.com

Tourney Wins or Top Finishes?: 2nd Place Vegas Gentleman's Classic

My favorite tourney play was FEB 2014 monthly, I place second to Max Nichols, he shot -23, I shot -22. I shot my personal best in the first round which was -13.

Favorite Pro Player?:  I don't have a favorite Pro player... I have met a few but I can't say they are my favorite players. My favorite disc golfers can be found at Morley almost every other day of the week.

Tips for newer players and players looking to improve: Try to have fun... don't get stuck thinking about a bad shot or bad hole. Try to learn from your mistakes. Play with players that are better than you. Go to an open field and get familiar with your discs.

personal note- Jasons answer to "Favorite Hole At Morley?" is why I love this sport and its community. Its also the reason I love putting together these player profiles. Some great stories. Especially about how one began to play the sport.
