Date Published
The wait is over, and the excitement is building as the 2010 PDGA National Tour returns to Charlotte, North Carolina this weekend for the Carolina Clash tournament. After a month-long break, the tour's top players are ready to face off in a highly anticipated showdown that promises to deliver high-stakes competition and thrilling action.
At the forefront of this weekend's event is a talented roster of disc golf superstars, including early season NT winners David Feldberg and Ken Climo. Avery Jenkins, Nate Doss, Josh Anthon, Nikko Locastro, Eric McCabe, Barry Schultz, and local favorite Brian Scheweberger will all be vying for top honors on the challenging courses at Hornet's Nest and Renaissance.
But it's not just the familiar faces that are generating buzz around this weekend's tournament. The return of 2001 World Champion Cameron Todd has sent shockwaves through the disc golf community, as fans eagerly anticipate seeing if he can recapture his former glory after a few years away from competitive play. With a strong showing last weekend at the United States Collegiate Championships in Augusta, Georgia, Todd is undoubtedly looking to shake off any rust and make a lasting impression on the tour.
According to Tournament Director Bill Jacobson, it's not just the star power that makes Charlotte an attractive destination for the National Tour. "The venues we have here in Charlotte are truly exceptional," Jacobson says. "Our course designer, Stan McDaniel, has done an outstanding job in creating challenging and beautiful courses that will test even the most seasoned players."
For local disc golf enthusiasts, the return of the National Tour is a welcome boost to the sport's popularity in the region. "This event is a huge deal for our community," Jacobson notes. "We're thrilled to have the opportunity to showcase the best of disc golf and help grow the sport here in Charlotte."
