The US Amateur Disc Golf Championship

June 13-15 2008, Milford MI
PDGA Status: Major

After seven years, the US Amateur Disc Golf Championship is renowned for putting up-and-coming amateur disc golfers to a true test of skill and endurance on "The Toboggan," one of the toughest courses you'll ever face.

The Toboggan started out as temporary course, installed for the 2000 Amateur and Pro World Championships. It was rated #1 by a variety of course designers and professional golfers who filled out a survey circulated by the PDGA, and the course has been used for Am Nationals ever since.

The 2007 competition came down to very tight race between Jake Newell, Michael Frame Jamie Mosier, with Newell taking the championship title, and the other tied for second. between Daemon Stahlin and Steve Mills. Results are here, and see tons of photos in the gallery.

The Discraft Great Lakes Open

June 21-22 2008, Ann Arbor MI
PDGA Status: SuperTour
2007 Champion: Cale Leiviska

Another monster event this year is the annual Discraft Great Lakes Open.

This event has a long and illustrious history thanks to the hard working and highly organized A3 disc golf club in Ann Arbor, and their fantastic disc golf facility at Hudson Mills MetroPark. And for the first time, DGLO will be using the infamous Toboggan course at Kensington MetroPark in Milford.

Visitors to Hudson Mills will find two side-by-side 24 holes courses. Each hole enjoys two large concrete tee pads, multiple basket placements, and enough challenges to bring out every shot in your bag. The Toboggan is packed with hazards and elevation changes... many pros and course designers call it one of the finest in the world. Come see for yourself!

It's not just a tournament... it's an event!

The 2008 Discraft Ace Race

Aug - Oct, Everywhere

Are you ready to gun one? The Disc Ace Race is for you!

Each season, disc golfers from around the world gather at their local courses for one purpose: to throw aces! No putting, no approaching... just runnin' at the chains.

To add to the challenge and excitement, players all throw the same model disc: typically this is a brand new, never-seen-before Discraft prototype disc that is introduced each year especially for the Ace Race. All players get one of these discs to throw, and one to collect. Ace Racers are always the first players to ever throw this new disc design.

Watch for one in your area, or run your own! We'll see you at the Ace Race.
