The 2021 Ledgestone Insurance Open presented by Disc Craft is a thrilling event on the Jomez Pro tour, featuring a star-studded cast of disc golf pros including Ricky Wysocki, Drew Gibson, Macbeth, and Chris Dickerson. The two-day tournament takes place at Northwood Park, with two unique courses: the Eureka course, known for its challenging design, and the Black Course, notorious for its punishing rough throughout. As tournament director Nate Heinle explains, Ledgestone's origins date back to 2011 as a small insurance agency promotion, but it has since grown into a massive 2000-person megaplex with two distinct courses showcasing different skill sets. Watch as these top professionals navigate the treacherous Black Course, and witness Ricky Wysocki's impressive 11 under par in round one, demonstrating his expertise with the low profile grip6.
