Chris Schmidt was one of the nicest guys I met when I first started playing disc golf.  He is a pleasure to hang out with and is always ready to help out a new player or lend a hand.

Chris throws Gateway, and has been a contender for a long while. His top finish in 2005 was 3rd place at the Spam Town Open behind Cale Leiviska and winner Timmy Gill (both also on Team Long Tee).

Fav courses
1 Ozark mountain (Mo)- Most fun place to play. Real disc golf.
2 Jefferson Barracks (St. Louis MO) Good course to have as a home course.
3 Todd Park (Austin MN) 27 holes. Don't need to say more than that.
4 North Valley (MN) A very hard course.
5 Ewing Park (Des Moines IA)

Why I play
I fell in love with the game at a very young age (5-6) and I haven't
stopped. I enjoy the family that the MFA has built of disc golfers. I love
watching a disc fly and the different ways you can do it.

Teachers in the sport
(TG) I would have to say that Timmy Gill has helped me in a bunch of
ways. I owe a lot of my trick shots to Timmy Gill. He has also showed me how to
keep my game together at bad times.
(PM) Pete helped me learn how to train as far as how much to play in a day
or week and how to eat better.
(Justin Bunnell and David Mac) They helped me with my mental game and
showed me how to love the game.
