Average Disc Golf reached out to the best players in the world with one simple question. What are your disc golf goals for the 2016 season? How did your favorite player reply? Not all of them have answered yet, but as they do we will continue to post them here.

Valarie Jenkins – “My goals for 2016 are to play with confidence and focus like I used to. I hope to be a strong force in the women’s division again this year and hopefully get a few more big wins on my resume.”

Chris Eads – “Well I want to get my rating up to 1010+ and then I’m mostly gonna be playing B tiers this year so I won 6 of those last year so I would like to match that at least. And then hopefully play world’s and qualify for USDGC either at SNPC or GBO or Worlds.”

Will Schusterick – “To be the hardest working disc golfer on and off the course.”

Paige Pierce – “Get my rating back up to 975+, win worlds, BSF, USWDGC, and maple hill, and to go to the desert and attempt to break the distance record!”

Simon Lizotte – “Throw a new distance world record. Beat McBeth at 3 events. Finish top 10 in every event.”
