Hand: Right

Playing since: 1997

My father got me into the sport when I was very young, and we would go to baseball tournaments and play courses all across the Midwest between games.

I joined the local leagues in Sioux Falls South Dakota in high school and I was hooked. I ended up going on a mini tour in 2016 and became sponsored by Innova Champion Discs whom I’m still sponsored by to this day.

I also enjoy giving lessons and teaching the sport that I am passionate about. Today, my wife and I travel the United States trying to play as many tournaments as we can.

Tips for aspiring players – If you’re not practicing, you won’t get better. Focus and put in the time.

Biggest gains to be realized with putting, so get a stack of putters and get those reps in.
Pro Tip – Stay in the moment and don’t let one errant shot ruin your round.

Your greatest moment is before you, seize the opportunity and make the most of it.

My name is Daniel Polk. I am from the San Carlos Apache, Quechan, and Diné nations. My wife is Dyani White Hawk Polk and we have two daughters, Nina and Tusweca. I have a BS degree in Elementary Education from Haskell Indian Nations University. After my collegiate basketball career at HINU, I was introduced to the sport of disc golf in the spring of 2005. I was hooked from the very first throw I watched. My mentor, Henry Pohocsucut, threw over a football field length and I just couldn’t believe a disc fly that far. I remember thinking, “I want to do that!” After 10 years of playing disc golf, I was given the opportunity to represent a few different companies. Today, I am sponsored by Prodigy Disc, Airborn Disc Golf, Tanka Bar, and Blue Ribbon Pines.

I started playing disc golf recreationally in about 2010. I found it to be a nice escape from daily life like work and it was fun to be out with friends. In 2017 I wanted to get better so I started to try leagues and tournaments. I love the mental challenge of the competitive side of the game.

Missy is a mom, middle school teacher, and disc golfer. She started playing disc golf in 2008 when she wasn’t playing ultimate. Her first disc was an Innova Skeeter; she now prefers Discraft’s Thrasher paired with an MVP Atom. In 2013, Missy got married at Justin Trails in Sparta, WI- a resort featuring two epic disc golf courses- she had to be pulled off the classic course to become a bride on time! In 2020 Missy shifted her focus from ultimate to disc golf. After a lot of league and many events, Missy earned her way onto Team BRP and is looking forward to another great season of disc golf.
