Ed Headrick Disc Golf Hall of Fame Classic Gets a New Lease on Life
Date Published

The International Disc Golf Center in Appling, Georgia has been buzzing with excitement as plans were put into place for the Ed Headrick Disc Golf Hall of Fame Classic (previously known as the HOFC). As a staple on the PDGA National Tour Elite Series calendar, this biennial event has long been anticipated by competitors and fans alike. However, it seems that 2017 will bring more than just the usual excitement.
The first major change to hit the scene is the name of the tournament itself. Gone are the days of HOFC; from now on, this esteemed event will be known as the Ed Headrick Disc Golf Hall of Fame Classic presented by ProActive Sports Disc Golf. The rebranding is a significant move, but it's just one piece of the puzzle in what promises to be an unforgettable experience.
One of the most notable changes to the EDGHOF Classic is its new status as the annual PDGA National Tour finale event. For years, competitors have been calling for this change, and the International Disc Golf Center is more than happy to oblige. With the IDGC being the home base of the PDGA, it only makes sense that the grand finale of the National Tour would take place there.
Another significant addition to the EDGHOF Classic is the integration of the Disc Golf Hall of Fame banquet dinner and induction ceremony. This long-standing tradition was previously a part of the PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships, but now it will be held as part of this esteemed tournament. Not only does this give inductees the chance to compete at one of the premier events on the calendar, but also offers them a unique opportunity to see their plaques displayed prominently at the IDGC.
Visitors to the EDGHOF Classic won't just be treated to top-notch competition; they'll also have the chance to explore some incredible attractions. A visit to the International Disc Golf Center means stopping by the "Steady" Ed Headrick Disc Golf Museum, a must-see for any disc golf enthusiast. And with ProActive Sports Disc Golf on board as presenting sponsor, competitors can expect exciting new developments and opportunities in the weeks to come.
