Bell's Brewery Signs On as Presenting Sponsor for PDGA Amateur World Championships
Date Published
Kalamazoo, MI - In a significant move for the sport of disc golf, Lake Effect Disc Golf has announced that Bell's Brewery will be the presenting sponsor of the 2015 PDGA Amateur World Championships. The event, officially titled "2015 PDGA Amateur Disc Golf World Championships, Presented by Bell's Brewery," is set to take place from July 18th-25th in Kalamazoo and its surrounding area.
The championships will feature a total of 17 different titles up for grabs, attracting players from around the world. This marks the second time that the disc golf World Championships have come to Kalamazoo, with Bell's Brewery also serving as the presenting sponsor in 2008. That year saw nearly 900 competitors from nine countries attend the event, which was the second-largest disc golf tournament in history.
Michigan has a strong reputation in the world of disc golf, boasting over 200 courses across the state and producing several World Champion titles. The state is also home to Discraft Inc., one of the leading manufacturers of discs used in the sport. This will be the sixth time that a disc golf World Championships has been held in Michigan.
Bell's Brewery has a long history of supporting disc golf, dating back over 20 years when they helped establish the first disc golf course in the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek area at Coldbrook County Park. Their continued support has enabled K'Aces Disc Golf, a local club celebrating its 20th season in 2014, to run weekly leagues year-round and host seven PDGA tournaments annually.
Bell's Brewery was founded in 1985 with a simple goal: to brew better beer using a 15-gallon soup kettle. Today, the brewery is a regional craft beer leader employing over 200 people across 20 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington DC. Their commitment to producing flavorful, unfiltered beers remains unchanged, with a focus on creativity, artistry, and providing an authentic experience for customers.
The 2015 PDGA Amateur World Championships are expected to draw approximately 700 players and their families to Kalamazoo, further cementing the city's reputation as a hub for disc golf.
