I think in another posting you explained that you are about 17 years old
... I would just like to point out that even though I have been playing
(non-stop) for seventeen years now (Ultimate, Disc Golf, Guts, DDC and all
the other individuals events too) BUT your little anecdote about seeing
Ultimate on TV and immediately wanting to go and try it out raised all the
hairs on the back of my neck!

One of the reasons I have not yet got bored with disc sports is the fact
that they inspire that feeling in me every day! The day I feel I have
nothing left to learn will be the day I hang up my boots.

Long may you play Matt and keep coming up with your enthusiastic ideas on
the development front. Oh, and by-the-way, try out some of the other disc
sports too - they will help your Ultimate skills for sure!

I'm off to the Isle of Mull today for a Disc Golf event - at least eight
hours driving each way to play two days of golf and guaranteed to get
soaking wet from the wind and rainstorms that roll off the North Atlantic
..... but I will be back in time for the next BUF Tour event in Birmingham
- hope to see you there.

Take care,

Sam Neilson.
