Meet Josh Roblee:
Tornado Throw Giveaway’s Grand Prize Winner
Everyone loves to win giveaways! We all love winning things – sometimes, they even become a great source of motivation that causes us to push ourselves to success.
So, when Tornado Throw had its first big Giveaway Contest in April, all disc golfers were psyched!
There was a lot of excitement on social media and we got so many submissions. It was a huge success!
The winners of this giveaway were chosen randomly. The first prize winner, Christopher Gomez, won a disc golf bag filled with discs, and the grand prize winner, Josh Roblee, won a Ridge Roller R3.
After waiting for a few months, Josh is finally a member of the Cartel!

In today’s episode, let’s get to know Josh.
Can we get a little background on you?
- I started playing disc golf sometime around 1997 and I was a recreational player until I started competing in 2018. I am currently 937 rated. I have a wife and 5 kids, so that limits the time I can spend on the course, but I still manage to play at least 1 round every week.
When did you start playing disc golf?
- 1996
What made you interested in the sport?
- It was just fun. Walking around the course, watching the disc fly, enjoying nature and friends. Laughing, joking, what’s not to like?

Have you won in any contest aside from Tornado Throw?
- I’m sure I won something small here or there, but never anything really significant until the Tornado Throw giveaway.
What’s the best disc golf advice you’ve ever gotten?
- Have fun. That’s really all there is to it.
What’s your favored throwing style?
- I throw right hand backhand. It’s comfortable and I get good distance and accuracy.
What do you consider some of your best successes in disc golf?
- I have won a few tournaments and I keep the trophies on my desk at work. Picking up a sponsorship with an online retailer Discstore was one of the biggest. I’ve been a member of Team Discstore for 3 years now.
What do you enjoy the most about disc golf?
- I am fascinated with the discs themselves. The shapes and the shots. The plastics and stamps. If I’m not throwing them, I’m buying or selling them. They’re works of art.
Again, congratulations Josh for winning our first-ever giveaway!
Thank you to all our giveaway entrants –if you didn’t win this time don’t worry, we have an ongoing giveaway where you can win a Gogogo Sport Vpro.
