2009 Memorial Starts Today

2009 PDGA National Tour to launch in Scottsdale, Fountain Hills, Arizona ~ The Memorial to Kick off 7th Year of Disc Golf's PDGA National Tour
If it's the first week of March and it's disc golf, then it can only be The Memorial in Scottsdale and Fountain Hills, Arizona. Again this year, Dan and Sue Ginnelly will host over 350 players from around the world, as they all kick off the 2009 PDGA National Tour on the pro side, combined with a massive PDGA Super-Tour event on the amateur side.
As the presenting sponsor, Discraft has long been affiliated with The Memorial, where most disc golfers are taking their games out of moth balls and onto the extremely challenging confines of Vista del Camino Park in Scottsdale and the desert oasis at Fountain Hills.
The PDGA Touring players' clinic, organized by Jay Reading, will begin the programming for the event, followed by a Fly-mart at Duke's Sports Bar, and highlighted with the head-to-head-on disc golf competition Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
And while The Memorial features most of the top-ranked disc golfers in the PDGA, this event is as much about camaraderie, as it is about competition. So it truly captures the perfect combination of fun and flying discs.
Make sure to stay posted to pdga.com for scores, photos, feature stories, and video highlights on this first event of the 2009 PDGA National Tour, as well as throughout the entire disc golf season.

My good buddy, Jeff Eades, will be participating in his first Grandmasters event in the Memorial so this is big for him. I'm rooting for you Jeff. Go get 'em!
