Meet the Flying Fox Team – Nick Marks

Nick discovered disc golf in 2023, when a course was installed at Belair National Park. It started simply enough, with an Innova starter set and a few casual throws, but it wasn’t long before his brother Daniel’s obsession with the sport started to rub off on him.

What began as a weekly round quickly became something much more. Nick found a sport that gave him the chance to get outdoors, enjoy nature, meet new people and simply have a good time.

Nick’s approach to learning the game is pretty straightforward — get out there and throw. He’s not someone who spends hours watching videos or overthinking technique. He gets on the course, experiments and learns through plenty of trial and error.

But while Nick loves disc golf, it’s certainly not all he talks about.

A round with Nick is usually full of smiles, conversation and appreciation for everything around him — from the scenery and wildlife to whatever is happening in life outside the course. That makes him a great person to share a card with, regardless of how the scorecard looks.

Nick doesn’t always make the weekly SADG League, with time often spent supporting his daughter at sport or attending church. But you’ll regularly find him out on a midweek evening, always happy to throw a few with whoever happens to be around.

For Nick, it really comes down to three things:

The game. The outdoors. The people.

That combination keeps bringing him back to the course — and makes him a great fit for the Flying Fox team.

We’re proud to have Nick along for the journey.

Keep throwing, Nick — and keep enjoying everything that comes with it!

Meet the Flying Fox Team – Alex Young-Jackway

Alex’s disc golf journey started in late 2021, when his brother Andrew dragged him out for a throw after discovering the sport himself.

Just like Andrew, Alex was hooked almost immediately. Before long, it became a regular sight to see the two brothers heading to the course after work, getting in rounds and enjoying everything the sport had to offer.

While Alex might not be the one seeking out the spotlight or getting heavily involved in the behind-the-scenes running of events, he is always one of the first people to lend a hand when it comes to setup and pack-up.

Whether it’s an event run by Mount Gambier Disc Golf or Launch Disc Golf, Alex is someone you can count on to quietly get stuck in and help get the job done.

On the course, Alex is exactly the sort of person you want on your card. He loves the social side of disc golf, enjoys a good laugh and is always happy to share a round with others.

At the same time, he is constantly working on his own game, looking for ways to improve and take the next step.

For me, that’s what makes Alex such a great fit for the Flying Fox team — he’s there for the game, the people and the community.

We’re proud to have Alex as part of the Flying Fox family and look forward to seeing where his disc golf journey takes him next.

Keep throwing, keep improving and keep enjoying the journey, Alex!

Meet the Flying Fox Team – Andrew Young-Jackway

Andrew is an important part of the Mount Gambier disc golf community and someone who is always willing to lend a hand.

Over the past few years, he has put countless hours into supporting local disc golf, particularly through the running and setup of the Eruption. Much of that work happens behind the scenes, but it plays a huge part in making these events possible and helping the Mount Gambier disc golf scene continue to grow.

Andrew discovered disc golf in 2021, and what started as an introduction to the sport quickly turned into an addiction!

That passion has taken him all over Australia, with interstate trips becoming a regular part of his disc golf journey. He even travelled to Perth for his first Australian Championships last year, where he put together an impressive 3rd-place finish in MA1.

Andrew is fiercely competitive and isn’t afraid to put in the work required to improve. Whenever he has decided to take the next step up, he has embraced the challenge and taken his game to another level.

That progression was highlighted this year when Andrew stepped into MPO at the Rumble and walked away with an incredible 3rd-place finish in his first MPO Major.

But despite that competitive drive, Andrew is exactly the sort of person you want on your card.

He is a great cardmate, always happy to have a chat, share a laugh and socialise with players right across the disc golf community. His competitive nature never takes away from the enjoyment of the game or the friendships that come with it.

Andrew represents so much of what makes the Mount Gambier disc golf community special — passion, hard work, competitiveness and a willingness to give back.

We’re incredibly proud to have Andrew as part of the Flying Fox team and can’t wait to see where his disc golf journey takes him next.

Keep pushing, Andrew!

Meet the Flying Fox Team – Sue Summers

Sue Summers is one of those people who has made a lasting impact on Australian disc golf — not just through her own playing, but through the countless hours she has dedicated to growing the sport and creating opportunities for others.

Sue discovered disc golf in 2015, having previously played Ultimate Frisbee, and quickly became involved both on and off the course. Since then, she has represented Australia at the World Team Disc Golf Championships, competed at the highest levels of the sport and become a passionate advocate for the growth of women’s disc golf.

Her contribution to the sport extends well beyond playing. Sue has been involved with Perth Disc Golf Club, Mundaring Disc Golf Club and Australian Disc Golf, including serving as President of Mundaring — becoming the first woman to hold the presidency of an Australian disc golf club.

Sue has also played an important role internationally through the WFDF Disc Golf Committee, where she has focused on women’s participation, gender equity and inclusion.

One of her standout contributions came in 2021 when she was Tournament Director for the Run the Chains Perth Women’s Global Event. The tournament brought together 37 women and girls — at the time, the largest female field recorded at an Australian disc golf tournament. More importantly, the event helped create a lasting women’s disc golf community in Perth.

Sue’s commitment to the sport reached another milestone in 2024, when she and her husband Ken were Tournament Directors for the WFDF World Team Disc Golf Championships at Mundaring. It was the first time the World Team Championships had been held in Australia and the Southern Hemisphere.

But what really stands out about Sue is that she doesn’t just talk about growing the game — she gets involved and makes it happen.

Whether she’s competing, organising tournaments, working with clubs, representing Australia or advocating for women in the sport, Sue continues to contribute at every level.

Sue is a true trailblazer for women’s disc golf in Australia, helping create the opportunities and pathways that allow more women and girls to discover the sport, compete and feel that they belong.

We’re incredibly proud to have Sue as part of the Flying Fox team and grateful for everything she has done — and continues to do — for Australian and international disc golf.

Sue hasn’t just been part of Australian disc golf. She’s helped shape where it’s heading.

Meet the Flying Fox Team – Michael Dooley

Michael has been playing disc golf for many years, having come to the sport from the United States, where he also has a background in playing Ultimate Frisbee during college.

One of the things that really stands out about Michael is just how passionate he is about growing the sport and helping the next generation of players.

He has a bit of a habit of giving discs away to kids straight out of his bag — sometimes much to Ash’s absolute shock! 😂

The perfect example happened when Michael gave away his Mystic, a disc he absolutely loves. A young kid had been watching them throw, so Michael simply handed it over to him. She remember thinking, “That’s incredibly sweet… but the Mystic?! Really?!” 😂

But that’s Michael. If he sees an opportunity to get a kid excited about disc golf, he’ll take it.

They share a real passion for growing the sport, particularly among women and juniors. The bigger and more inclusive disc golf becomes in Australia, the better it is for everyone involved.

Michael is also heavily involved in the local disc golf community. He serves as Treasurer for BDGC and runs the Carindale League, while often being the person dragging Ash out to the course early to help with setup!

He is incredibly encouraging, supportive and always willing to lend a hand. In fact, the girls have given him the unofficial title of “Supportive King” — and honestly, it’s pretty hard to argue with that. 👑

Michael represents so much of what we value at Flying Fox — supporting others, growing the game, encouraging new players and making sure everyone feels welcome.

We’re proud to have him as part of the Flying Fox team and grateful for everything he does for the sport and the people within it.

Keep being the supportive king, Michael!
