Emporia, Kansas, is the place to be for disc golf enthusiasts this week as the Glass Blown Open (GBO) tournament takes center stage.

This year's GBO is part of the PDGA National Tour Elite Series and promises to deliver an unforgettable experience for both players and spectators.
The tournament features two main categories: the A-Tier and the National Tour side. The first round gets underway on Thursday at 8am, with tee times scheduled throughout the day. The schedule continues uninterrupted until Sunday night, when the final results will be announced. To follow all the action, fans can tune in to DynamicDiscs.TV for live streaming of the featured card.
