Disc Golf World Champions Gather in Texas for Exciting Amateur Doubles Event
Date Published
The highly anticipated PDGA Amateur Doubles World Championships is set to kick off this weekend in Mt. Vernon, Texas, marking the first major event of the year for disc golf enthusiasts. The three-day tournament promises to be an unforgettable experience, with a packed schedule of activities, stunning courses, and top-notch competition.
Leading up to the main event on Saturday, Texas native and two-time PDGA World Champion Paige Pierce will host a disc golf clinic on Friday, followed by a welcome reception in downtown Mt. Vernon. The evening's festivities will include dinner, music, and free prizes, making it an excellent opportunity for attendees to mingle with top players.
Paige will also lead another pro clinic on Saturday, open to the general public, providing fans with a chance to learn from one of the best disc golfers in the world today. In addition to the clinics, visitors can explore the Pro Shop and take in the breathtaking scenery at Selah Ranch, featuring two championship courses designed by renowned course designer John Houck.
But that's not all – this year's event boasts an impressive lineup of courses, including two more championship layouts from Houck: Trey Deuce and Texas Twist. The combination of top-notch facilities, scenic beauty, and competitive spirit will create a truly unique atmosphere for participants and spectators alike.
The tournament itself will feature a range of formats, including Best Shot, Best Disc, Alternate Shot, and Worst Shot, providing something for every type of player to enjoy. For those who haven't played doubles before, the rules are straightforward: in Best Shot, players alternate throws until completing the hole; in Best Disc, each player records their best score on the hole; Alternate Shot involves one player throwing, followed by their partner; and Worst Shot, as the name suggests, requires both players to throw from the worst lay.
More information about the event can be found on the PDGA Amateur World Doubles Championship website or Facebook page. Fans can also expect comprehensive media coverage, including live scoring and throw-by-throw analysis on PDGAlive.com and Twitter via @PDGAlive.
