Disc Golf Pros Converge on Oklahoma's Taylor Lodge for 2009 Green Country Open
Date Published
The world's top disc golf professionals are set to descend upon Pawhuska, Oklahoma, this weekend as the 2009 Green Country Open gets underway at the Taylor Lodge. This marks the second time this season that the National Tour has visited an inaugural host city, with the Tulsa Disc Sports Association proudly welcoming the sport's elite competitors.
Among the field of talented players vying for victory are two reigning champions: Nikko Locastro, winner of The Memorial, and Ken Climo, who claimed top honors at The Atlanta Open. However, it's not just these standout performers that make up a formidable lineup – no less than 18 other 1000-rated players are set to take on the challenges of the course.
In addition to the men's competition, 11 skilled female disc golfers will also be in action this weekend, including notable players such as Des Reading, Val Jenkins, and Carrie Berlogar. With their sights set on claiming top honors at the Green Country Open, these talented athletes are ready to put their skills to the test.
A visit to the course with host Jim Taylor, owner of the Taylor Lodge, has revealed that the two private facilities – The Island and Black Moccasin courses – offer a diverse range of challenges. Situated on rolling hills dotted with small water features and majestic oak trees, these courses demand precision and strategy from even the most experienced players.
As competitors navigate the twists and turns of the fairways, they'll need to be mindful of the dense undergrowth and scrub that lines the edges – hazards that will prove difficult to retrieve from. This rugged terrain is a testament to the resilience and determination of the local community, who have long thrived in this oil-rich region.
