Discraft's Ti Flx Plastic Revolution and Ledgestone Insurance Open Break Records
Date Published
The 2015 Ledgestone Insurance Open presented by Discraft is poised to make history as one of the most lucrative disc golf tournaments ever held. The organizers have announced an astonishing $65,000 in added cash, which will bring the total pro purse close to a staggering $115,000. This significant increase has been made possible through constant fundraising efforts and the tireless work of tournament director Nate Heinold.
To help raise funds for this year's event, Discraft has released a special blend of plastic called Ti Flx plastic. According to Heinold, this unique blend combines the best characteristics of both existing blends, offering an excellent balance between flexibility and durability. The result is a more grippy and consistent flying disc that feels like nothing else on the market.
Discraft will be releasing several limited-edition discs made from Ti Flx plastic in various molds, including the Buzzz, Nuke, Drone, and Challenger. These exclusive discs will feature special stamps and become available at the end of March. Interested vendors can contact Justin Jernigan to participate in selling these Limited Edition discs.
Registration for this year's event is set to open on March 2nd at 7PM CST for players rated 990 and above, while everyone else will have to wait until March 4th at the same time. The registration process will take place online through IRegisteredOnline.com, with more information available on the official Ledgestone Open website.
The tournament has also seen a significant increase in partnerships, including a continued commitment to supporting St Jude Children's Research Hospital. This year, Discraft and Ledgestone Insurance have pledged to donate at least $10,000 to the hospital through the tournament, with plans to raise even more money throughout the event.
In addition to the thrilling disc golf competition, this year's event promises an exciting array of activities, including an ice cream social, putting competition, Fly-Mart, check-in party, clinics, a buffet dinner, a doubles exhibition match, and glow disc golf. SmashboxxTV will be broadcasting the entire event, as well as the unique disc golf/golf exhibition match that will pair top golfers with professional disc golfers.
The amateur players at this year's event will receive an impressive player's pack filled with no less than 8 discs, a shirt, metal mini, trotter box, and more. The best part? Not a single dollar from their entry fees will be used to cover tournament expenses or player packs – every cent will go directly into the payouts.
The projected payouts for this year's event are impressive, with up to 80% of players in the Recreation division receiving a share of the prize money, while Advanced division winners can expect to take home $500. With so much at stake, don't miss your chance to participate in one of the biggest disc golf tournaments of the year!
