Default Re: Who\'s the next playa to be signed to Innova ?

Just in case Innova is wondering......I throw all Innova discs. I would love to be on the scout team.

Quick Resume:

August 2005 - First threw a disc.
January 2006 - Bought PDGA membership.
May 2006 - First tourney playing OPEN.
July 2006 - First OPEN cash.

(2006 9 tourneys, 2 advanced and 7 open, 3 cashes, zero 1000 rated rounds)

June 2007 - First OPEN WIN! Cedar Creek Open (C-Tier)
September 2007 - First B-Tier Win! Treasure Cove Classic
December 2007 - Third Open Win of the year. Todd Park Tundra

(2007 - 26 tournaments played, 19 cashes, 3 wins, 63rd at my first worlds, 8 1000+ rated rounds and 20 of 61 were 990 or higher, player rating jumped 40 points during the year from 938 to 978)

January 2008 - Became a TD
March 2008 - Played in my first NT event, The Memorial - tied for 29th
March 2008 - Ran my first C tier event, also played in event and took 2nd.
April 2008 - First Win of the year, Minnesota Spring Open C-tier (23 open players)

So far this year other than My first two rounds at Vegas which can be attributed to South Dakota Winter Rust, every round (8 in total) I've thrown has been rated 993 or higher including 5 of 1000 or greater. I am planning on playing in many tourneys again this year and continuing to improve my game as I have been for the past two and a half years I have been playing. I don't know how a person goes about getting on the Innova Scout Team, but I figured this can't hurt anything. Maybe the right person will see it or something. I think I fit the mold for a Scout Team Member. We'll see I guess.

See you all out there at some tournament or another.

I'm still waiting for Innova, Discraft, Gateway, Millenium, or even Lightning to sponsor a Deaf Disc Golfer.

Grats Travis.

Apparently all you have to do is post your resume and live in an obscure disc golf area to get picked up!

Thanks for showing people this! Now I know what not to do to continue being free!

Thanks Tank, for suckering me into playing Open and taking all of my money in only my third tournament ever. I'm glad you did though, it made a huge difference in the advancement of my game.

Thanks everyone else who has helped me with anything disc golf related over the past 2 1/2 years.

I will be out there playing in a bunch of tourneys in 2008, starting this weekend at the Back-to-Back B tiers in Council Bluffs and Omaha. Now I will not only be playing for myself and South Dakota, but Innova as well. Needless to say I'm very excited about and thankful for this opportunity. I intend to keep playing at a high level and to always represent myself and those I play for in a positive way.

Thanks again, and Tank, when are you thinking you'll be back in the Midwest, or don't you?

See you all out on the course,

Travis

Remember the rule at Treasure Cove, everytime you walk across a plank, you have to give an "Arrrrrrrr"

Dunno an exact date for the return to Corn country, if at all. I'll be up here through the spring at least...

I might just move back to the Cakalak and move in with the Schwebergers, But I ain't growin' no dang Mullet...

Aren't you one of the guys that was partying and selfishly putting at midnight before the last worlds and kept everyone from getting their proper sleep? Congrats on your sponsorship and let me know where you are staying for worlds this year so I can avoid that area.
