Missy is known as one of the fiercest competitors on tour, but her journey in disc golf did not begin that way. Missy started disc golfing when she was 26 years old (which is considered pretty late to the party) just to have fun and itch her competitive nature. To her surprise, she found herself winning large competitions and playing at a very high level in a relatively short amount of time. Missy saw the great potential of the growing sport of Disc Golf, and decided to pour every bit of her competitive spirit into the sport. She took the leap into Professional Disc Golf at the end of 2017, and even viewed it as a potential reset or vacation in her life. Missy didn’t look back and has since become a force to be reckoned with. She has 35 career wins, two of which being Disc Golf Majors. Missy made history by winning $30,000 in the Disc Golf Pro Tour Finale. This is the highest payout in Disc Golf history, for Men and Women alike. Missy’s future is bright, and with her authentic and lovable competitive spirit, the sky's the limit.
