PDGA Pro World Championships 2014
 

Greetings,

I got the phone call at 5:45 this morning that we had been awarded the bid to host Pro Worlds in 2014. I'm not sure how Mike was able to get the news out before me, but thanks Mike.

For the last year or so the core group of Cris Bellinger, Jeff Hagerty, Jeff Mittl, Mike Phillips and I have been working on putting forth a bid to host a PDGA World Championship in Portland, Oregon. This is the culmination of something that has been talked about for over two decades by disc golfers around the Portland area including Theo Pozzy, Jerry Miller, Dan Denny and many others too numerous to name, but instrumental none the less. Thank you all.

Now the hard work begins. We will need many people to come together and make this venture a success. It is our hope that we can rely on people from throughout the region to volunteer and make this a Worlds hosted by the Great Northwest and not just Portland, Oregon. In the near future we will be soliciting submissions for artwork and website design and construction. We will be also looking for people to join committees, volunteer as course TD’s and many other duties. We will need some time to determine what exactly needs to be done to move forward, but when we have things resolved we will make a public announcement.

Thanks again to everyone who made this possible and thanks in advance to those who will step forward and make this event a great success.

Worlds
 

So, what courses here would be involved? That is something that could be discussed now?

Cheers

Milo East, Milo West, Trojan, Pier, Blue Lake and a redesigned Roster Rock.

HOLY CRAP!!!!!

Please tell me it's going to be Trojan in the OSDGC layout. I would love to watch that round.

Those are awesome choices, and very geographically convenient. I assume it will be two rounds of 18 each day.

I can't wait to be a part of this as a volunteer, and hopefully a player as well. Pro Grand Master here I come.

Cindy :)

So what I am reading here is...
 

I have a year and a half to turn pro :whistler:

We will post more detailed information at a later date after finalizing things with the PDGA.

:whistler:

I love inside information...... ;)

Actually, The link to the "Announcement" was posted to the PDGA facebook page this morning...It showed up on my wall.

:rockon:

I was told Ganz was going to post the info at 7:15 our time. I guess he jumped the gun a bit.

Any idea what the redesign of rooster rock will look like?

It also here as well.

Yeah right, Discussed by core team not some freeloading beer Connoisseur.

Not yet completely, but we have a few ideas. It will most likely be a temporary redesign unless we get complete by off from the Parks Dept.

odd
 

why a redesigned rooster rock instead of dabney? I assume hornings is out because of the baskets. but another one thats missing would be stubb stewart.
