Idlewild Awaits as Disc Golf Pro Tour Returns for LWS Open
Date Published
The Disc Golf Pro Tour (DGPT) is set to return to the highly-regarded Idlewild course in Burlington, Kentucky, for the 2023 LWS Open presented by Dynamic Discs and The Nati. As one of the final two Elite Series events before the prestigious PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships at the end of August, players will be eager to make a late-season push for top honors.
Idlewild's designer, Robert Herbert, has spoken fondly of the course, saying that designing it was one of his most fulfilling experiences in disc golf. The 20th-ranked course in the world, according to UDisc, features a unique layout that challenges players with dense woods, elevation changes, and doglegs. Players will need to adapt quickly to the varied shot requirements, which include hitting landing zones on open holes and navigating tight fairways.
The 2022 LWS Open at Idlewild saw some thrilling competition, with Catrina Allen emerging victorious after a closely contested final round. Allen's two-stroke victory over Missy Gannon and Ohn Scoggins capped off an impressive performance that earned her second Elite Series win of the season. Isaac Robinson also made headlines in 2022, securing his first Elite Series title with a dominant four-stroke victory.
This weekend's competition promises to be just as intense, with top players vying for position on the leaderboard. The Disc Golf Network (DGN) will provide live coverage of the tournament, while fans can also catch select rounds and exclusive content on the PDGA YouTube channel.
