My name is Finlay and i am 13 years old and my spirit of the game story comes team dga itself. I had contacted team dga captain Jon baldwin through facebook, asking him if i would be able to caddy for him. Jon being the great guy, he is accepted my offer. I met him a few days before the eric c yetter champions cup at tyler state park in newtown pa, to introduce him to the course and play some disc golf with him. The day of the tournament finally dawned and i was caddying for the final round, a tough round of 27 holes. Jon was paired with Matt Peckham and Mark Schoettle. Both of these guys were super nice and inviting. It was awesome to watch all three rip 450 foot drive and weave their discs through the tight wooded fairways of tyler so effortlessly. It was very enjoyable talking to Jon and the two other guys and i learned alot about control and mental game. Jon ended up winning and i went pn to caddy for him the following weekend at the delaware disc golf challenge. The information i learned here definitely beats youtube videos. This was a great experience and i will cherish this memory as long as i play disc golf
