Young Guns Team
The Young Guns is our Juniors team. Players under the age of 18 who have in some way inspired us. This could be because they are up-and-coming players or because they are movers in their community helping with course care and maintenance. In any case, we want to recognize these young players for being amazing!

Adalia Leonardi – #272081
Young Guns Player (FJ8) – Lansing, MI
Adalia has been begging to play disc golf with her dad for years, but most regular courses were too long. But in 2022 the local church built a course with a layout for kids and she picked up the game with joy.
In 2023 she joined the local kids league and ended up improving 24% from the first half to the second half after learning to throw with purpose and not just for fun. After begging for a PDGA membership for Christmas she got her number and will be out playing events this year.
2024 accomplishments:
1st place FJ8 Lansing Kids League
1st Place FJ8 Eagles Wings Midwest Regional
1st Place FJ8 Michigan State Champion.
Now one of the Youngest in the FJ10 division, we shall see if her stellar play continues.
Watch out for her, she brings an infectious joy and can keep her head even when she isn’t playing well. Her composure is the best you will find out of a kid her age.
Adalia also helps her brothers on their mini disc endeavor on Instagram and is the creative genius behind their creations. Check them out on Instagram @galaxyminidiscs.
Spencer Fields – #168719
Young Guns Player (MJ12) – Holt, MI
Spencer is one of the most consistent young players we have seen in some time.
He is steadily growing in the game and we expect him to exceed his own expectations this season.
Turning 12 this year, Spencer will be at the top of his division by age and is hoping to capitalize on his physical growth and strength while honing his mental toughness.
He has been playing disc golf for three years. This past summer he joined the local Junior’s league and is looking to build on his skills this year.
When not playing disc golf Spencer enjoys playing football, baseball, and basketball.
He is looking forward to representing Essential Discs for the 2024 season.

Sully Moore – #198122
Young Guns Player (MJ15) – Canal Winchester, OH
Sully is a smart player who played ball golf before finding disc golf.
in 2023 his rating went up nearly 100 points
Sully had to end his 2024 season early due to an injury, but picked up right where he left off with his left hand.
When not playing disc golf, Sully still plays ball golf. The mental game between the two sports complements one another.
