USWDGC 2014: The Battle for Disc Golf Supremacy Heats Up
Date Published
The excitement is building as the countdown begins to one of the most highly-anticipated events in disc golf - the 2014 United States Women's Disc Golf Championship (USWDGC). For the first time in its 15-year history, the championship will be held at the International Disc Golf Center (IDGC) in Appling, Georgia, a hub for disc golf enthusiasts and home to world-class courses.
This year's competition promises to be fierce, with an impressive 99 women registered to compete. The Open Women's division is particularly strong, boasting a record number of 29 players. In fact, the total number of competitors this year surpasses the inaugural USWDGC in 1999, which had only 21 participants across all divisions.
Defending champion Sarah Hokom will be looking to retain her title against a talented field that includes several PDGA World Champions. Notable names vying for the top spot include Catrina Allen, Paige Pierce, Val Jenkins, Ohn Scoggins, Elaine King, and Liz Dorries, among others.
The IDGC's three championship courses are renowned for their challenging layouts and stunning designs. With some of the sport's leading course designers behind the creations, players can expect a true test of skill and mental toughness.
Action gets underway on Thursday evening with Mixed Doubles on the "Steady" Ed Memorial course, followed by Round 1 of the main tournament on Friday at 1:00pm via a shotgun start. For those unable to attend in person, live scores will be available every day on PDGALive.com, complemented by commentary, photos, and videos shared on Twitter.
To enhance coverage, McFlySoHigh Video's Marty McGee has joined forces with the PDGA to provide exclusive content. Daily articles summarizing each day's events can also be found on PDGA.com starting tomorrow evening. Stay tuned for live updates from Appling, Georgia!
