Player Selection

Hi,
This is Graham Williams (graphic artist, founder) of WillzDesign.com.

I know from personal experience as a disc golfer that the sport is very healthy - physically and mentally.

It is a great challenge to improve. It is fun to play with friends and it is very peaceful to play a solo round. Disc golf is a great way to get outside and enjoy nature and get some exercise.

I believe that disc golfers should have unique sports apparel and cool designs available on merch - similar to other sports like basketball, baseball and football.

I want to help grow the sport and I believe that by getting these unique, cool designs out into the world, it helps give visibility to the sport and exposes it to other people who might start playing.

I will select players for sponsorships based on:

Someone who I believe represents the sport well
Someone who can be competitive in disc golf events
Someone who would be a good ambassador for the Willz Designz brand and the Team Mission

Thanks for your application and I will consider each application carefully before selecting.

Graham
