Team Discraft’s Superstar In-The-Making…
Someone is spinning discs like nobody's business and shaking up the standings?
Make way for Holyn "The Hammer" Handley, the game-changer we've all been waiting for!
Fresh off her victory at the coveted DGPT event at the iconic Winthrop Arena, Holyn did the unbelievable by taking down world #1, Kristin Tattar in a nail-biting playoff.
Yeah, you read that right! 🎉
Congrats to you Holyn!
The Hammer’s Pre-Disc-Golf Life…
Before she was The Hammer on the disc golf scene, Holyn was making waves as a standout student and athlete at UT Dallas.
Multi-talented?
Absolutely!
She was not just a force to be reckoned with on the volleyball court (bagging those back-to-back American Southwest Conference championships 🏆), but also a rock star in the world of biomedical engineering.
Talk about balancing brains and brawn, right?
But guess what?
She traded her engineering tools for discs.
Crazy?
Nah!
Brave?
Heck yes!

Now, if you're picturing her casually tossing around a disc in a park with a cute doggo chasing after it, you've got it all wrong.
We're talking about intense, high-pressure tournaments. We're talking about showdowns with reigning world champions.
We're talking about making history with the first FPO Albatross! 😱
Holyn’s disc golf journey started humbly when she and her boyfriend decided to fling some discs in California's parks.
Fast forward to now, she’s stealing the limelight, bagging sponsors, and smashing records. And did I mention she’s only 20?
Sky's the limit for this gal!
More Than Just Podiums…
It's not just about the wins and podium finishes.
It's about the spirit of the game, the hours of practice, the determination to get better each day.
And that's precisely what Holyn embodies.
Whether she's mentoring kids at summer camps or breaking down complex shots with the precision of an engineer, she's making her mark in the world of professional disc golf.
"Professional disc golf is still very niche, but I’m starting to build a name for myself. This has given me the opportunity to be an athlete again."
And hey, if you're reading this and thinking, "Wow, I wish I could watch her play!" - you're in luck!
Dive deep into Holyn's games, her strategies, and her victories.
Trust me; it's a spectacle you wouldn't want to miss.
So, pick up your favorite disc, hit your nearest course, and maybe, just maybe, you'll channel a bit of the 'Hammer' magic!
To more flying discs and nail-biting finishes! 🚀
Stay slingin',
