Drama and Excitement Reigns Supreme at the Beaver State Fling
Date Published
The Beaver State Fling has long been regarded as one of the most exceptional events in the PDGA National Tour Elite Series history. This weekend, the stage will be set once again at the Milo McIver State Park Riverbend complex near Portland, Oregon, where some of the world's top disc golfers will converge to battle it out on two of the sport's most iconic courses.
According to 12-time World Champion Ken Climo, the Riverbend courses are among the top three disc golf courses globally. The Milo McIver State Park has a reputation for hosting dramatic finishes, with some of the most thrilling moments in disc golf history taking place here. Last year's stunning victory by Christian Dietrich, where he matched Nikko Locastro and Nate Doss throw for throw, is just one example of the excitement that can be expected at this event.
The Beaver State Fling has created a recipe for success by combining a picturesque venue with dedicated volunteers, talented players, and passionate fans. This potent mix has resulted in some of the most memorable moments in disc golf history. Whether it was Ken Climo's resounding seven-throw margin of victory in 2009 or the three-way sudden-death playoff between Avery Jenkins, David Feldberg, and eventual winner Nate Doss in 2007, this event has consistently delivered.
This year's Beaver State Fling promises to be just as exciting. With a nearly 150-player pro field, including top stars like Paige Pierce, Valarie Jenkins, Des Reading, Liz Lopez, Sarah Hokom, Melody King, and Catrina Allen, the competition is expected to be fierce. The women's open field has been gaining momentum in recent years, and this event will feature some of the most talented players in the sport.
But what sets the Beaver State Fling apart from other disc golf events is its unique blend of experience and youth. Emerging talents like Sarah Hokom and Melody King are looking to make a statement alongside seasoned pros like Paige Pierce and Valarie Jenkins. With so many top players in attendance, it's anyone's game, and the outcome will be far from certain.
