2011 NT Goes Elite | Professional Disc Golf Association
Date Published
The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) is excited to announce its 2011 National Tour Elite Series schedule, marking a significant shift in the way it approaches its flagship tour. For the ninth consecutive year, the PDGA has strived to showcase the best of disc golf by highlighting top events, courses, players, and host clubs. With nine events planned for 2011, the PDGA is confident that this mission will continue to be fulfilled.
The new approach to the National Tour (NT) takes into account the tremendous growth and improvement in event management that disc golf has experienced over the past decade. The introduction of the National Tour Elite Series aims to recognize a larger number of high-quality events, rather than relying solely on traditional criteria. This modified model allows for more flexibility in awarding Elite Series status, enabling the PDGA to adapt to the evolving landscape of disc golf.
One key aspect of the 2011 NT Elite Series is its regional focus. The schedule will feature one event in each of eight designated regions across the United States, with four northern tier and four southern regions. This strategic approach aims to seed each region with spotlight events, recognizing the excellent work being done by both established and new event coordinators.
The 2011 NT Elite Series schedule is as follows:
* Each event has been carefully selected through a collaborative process between the PDGA and host clubs.
* The rotation of events in-and-out of the NT Elite series will allow for more flexibility and recognition of high-quality events across the country.
* By hosting an Elite Series event in each region, the PDGA hopes to strengthen its relationships with local disc golf communities and celebrate the achievements of top players.
The series finale for the 2011 Elite Series will be the Vibram Open. The PDGA is confident that this new approach will provide an exciting and rewarding experience for players, sponsors, and fans alike.
As the PDGA continues to evolve and adapt to the growing popularity of disc golf, it looks forward to another incredible year for the National Tour Elite Series.
