Get Ready to Rumble at the 2011 PDGA Championships
Date Published
The stage is set for an epic battle of skills as the world's top disc golfers converge on the International Disc Golf Center in Appling, Georgia. The PDGA Championships, one of the most prestigious tournaments in the sport, is just around the corner, and the excitement is building.
As players arrive at the venue to fine-tune their techniques during practice rounds, the ClashDVD crew is busy setting up cameras to capture all the drama unfold on screen. Meanwhile, Billy Crump and his team are putting the finishing touches on their equipment, ensuring a smooth and seamless broadcast experience for fans watching from home.
The list of participants reads like a Who's Who of disc golf talent, with 118 players from around the world competing in the MPO, FPO, MA1, and FA1 divisions. The tournament schedule is packed, with each division playing at least one round on each of the three championship courses throughout the weekend.
On Friday afternoon, the action kicks off with a single round, followed by two rounds on Saturday and a final fourth round on Sunday morning. But that's not all - after Sunday's play, the top 10 players in each division will go head-to-head in the Final 10 showdown to determine the ultimate champion.
While registration for pros is still open, amateur spots are limited, so those interested in participating should call the PDGA office at 706-261-6342 ASAP. For spectators and fans who want to soak up the atmosphere without playing, there's plenty to see and do around the IDGC, including exploring the Headrick Memorial Museum, which features an impressive collection of disc golf memorabilia and the Disc Golf Hall of Fame.
This year's tournament will also mark a change in format for the winner, as the PDGA Championships will crown not only the champion but also the 2011 National Champion. Will Schusterick, last year's titleholder, will be back to defend his crown, and with a host of top players gunning for him, it promises to be an epic battle.
And for those looking to get involved in the action, there are still opportunities available to sponsor a hole at the tournament. For just $25, you'll not only receive a tee sign but also one of the exclusive "Ibex" mid-range discs from Vibram Disc Golf - a limited-edition release that won't be available to the public until October.
To reserve your hole sponsorship or learn more about the PDGA Championships, contact Marcy Borelli at the PDGA office at 706-261-6342. And for up-to-the-minute news, scores, and photos from the tournament, keep an eye on PDGA.com throughout the weekend.
