We're still taking sponsors of all kinds and there are plenty of Tee Sign Sponsorships left - that's a great way to get your name on a sign you get to keep after the tournament and to help support the tourney. We'll add to the list as we get more. Thanks to all who have supported the tournament. Without sponsors we wouldn't have a tournament.

R-Pro Rocs
Who doesn't like a Roc? Ok, those who throw the Buzzz. But for those who love the Roc, it is now available in R-Pro. Players who love the Roc AND love the added grip of R-Pro will love the new R-Pro Roc. It is great for accurate Mid-Range shots in all weather conditions. Try one when the weather looks questionable, or if you just love the feel of R-Pro.
Now in stock at Disc 'n Dat.

Rules School
The PDGA is introducing a new feature to their site: Rules School. I think this is a good feature and hope you will check it out. I'm putting the first paragraph of the first in the series - Interference - on here and then you can click the link if you'd like to read further - it really is pretty interesting and helpful for playing in tournaments. It clarifies some things for you.
Rules School is a new PDGA series to highlight and explain each section of the PDGA Rulebook. Interference 803.07 is the first installment. A recent event brought up some interesting issues pertaining to Interference. So this looked like a good topic to kick off the series. The format will be to reproduce a passage from the rulebook and then discuss its background and meaning along with some real world examples to illustrate the points.
Rule 803.07A: A thrown disc that hits another player, spectator, or animal shall be played where it comes to rest.
A moving disc contacts a living object that is unaware the disc is coming toward it or is unable to get out of the way fast enough. The disc is marked and played from where it lands after the deflection. The thrower does get an OB penalty if the deflection is unlucky and the disc ends up OB. This is no different from the randomness of a disc deflecting OB off a tree branch waving in the wind – 300 milliseconds later the disc might have missed the waving branch completely.

For more on the Interference Rule and there is a bunch more. Good stuff.

The Memorial Day 2 Summary
From PDGA.com
Open division tournament leader Barry Schultz, who shot a -11 at Fountain Hills in round one, sustained a hand injury and was forced to withdraw from the Memorial just prior to his 1:45pm scheduled tee time today. Barry showed great class and sportsmanship by showing up at the tee of hole one to wish card mates Paul McBeth, Devan Owens, and Nikko Locastro well before they teed off. The loss of Schultz to the lead card made 21 year old Nikko Locastro the oldest player in that group indicating that there is a youth movement in the upper echelon of the open pro division.
Paul McBeth (-16) carded a second round -6 to hold on to a two throw lead over Nikko Locastro (-14), who dropped a few throws on the last couple of holes to finish at -5 on the day. Devan Owens (-8) had a run of bad luck with quite a few bad breaks and a handful of bounce outs to finish at +2 for the round. Cale Leiviska (-13) and Dave Feldberg (-12) will join the lead group for round 3 at Fountain Hills on Friday after shooting -4 and -5 respectively. Steve Brinster shot -8 for the best round of the day which was rated at 1059.
In the Open Women’s division Liz Lopez (+13) shot a +4 on the day to move into second place behind Liz Carr (+10) who shot a +5 on day 2. Melody King (+12) and Des Reading (+13) continued to play consistently strong to put them in the lead group going to Fountain Hills on Friday.
Robert Ryan (-16) had the days hottest round in all divisions with a -9 to grab the lead in the Masters division to lead the Alabama duo of Dean Tannock (-13) and Tim Keith (-13) by three throws. Jim “no spin” Myers (-9) leads the Grandmasters by a whopping 8 throws over second place Harvey Brandt (-1). Dr Rick Voakes (-4) carded a -1 on the day to extend his lead to six throws over Snapper Pierson (+2).
The pro divisions will move back to Fountain Hills for round 3 on Friday afternoon. Look for scores there to falter if the expected winds come. Stay tuned to PDGA.com for complete coverage and online scoring of the pro lead group who tee off at 1:46pm at the Fountain course.
