About Andrew Chisholm began playing disc golf in the mid 1990s. With a desire to help grow the sport and the community of disc golf Andrew became the administrator for nebdisc.com, Nebraska disc golf news source, in 2001. The effort continues today.

Course Experience Playing courses while traveling with his family and during tournaments Andrew has played over 90 courses in 14 different states, including one in Canada. He reviewed over 25 courses for the PDGA course directory.

Course Design He designed or co-designed 20 courses beginning with the beautiful Skyview Park in Norfolk, Nebraska, in 2002. Andrew's designs demonstrate an intuitive course flow, regard for safety, and are balanced to provide a wide variety of interesting shot options. Tournament layouts are designed to create score separation opportunities by creating the most challenging shots mixed with a few simple shots to pressure the mental game.

Tournament Director Andrew directed or co-directed 26 tournaments. One highlight is the Star City Shoot-out, a tournament where he was the director for four years. Top prize was $700 and the tournament was played on 3 different courses simultaneously; peak registration was 126 competitors. Presently Andrew continues as the TD for the Ice Bowl, an annual fundraiser tournament for the Food Bank at a course just a few blocks from his home.

Clinician As a clinician Andrew has introduced disc golf to beginning and recreational players. The 15 clinics were to groups such as the Boy Scouts of America, churches, and after school programs at elementary schools.
