Spectating at the 2021 Ledgestone Insurance Open
The 2021 Ledgestone Insurance Open will be a great opportunity to spectate and watch some of the best players in the world. The players love spectators and enjoy having an audience. There are a few things to remember when spectating:

The players take this very seriously - for some players this is their way of making a living. Please be considerate of their needs.
Do not ask for autographs before or during the round. Please save this for after the round.
Please try to stay behind the players when they are throwing. Also, if you are in the player's line of sight please be as still as you can. Do not be moving behind the basket when they are putting.
When the players are preparing to throw, please be quiet.
Please make sure your cell phones are on silent during the round.
If a player's disc lands out of bounds do not pick it up for them. Let them get their own disc.

Lets see if Discrafts high payed pros can tahe this down...i think Paige has only won it once and Paul twice before.

To bad Kristin had to leave, good payout. . .but good for Paige that Kristin left the US

We are excited to be able to bring the DGPT to the Northwood Black course. The front 9 does not have a strong enough signal for us to confidentially provide live coverage. The coverage at Northwood will provide highlights from the front 9 with live coverage of the back 9.

Catrina has won Ledgestone 5 times, I'd still put her as a favorite over Paige.


I don't know a lot about the course changes, but is it just naming convention for the new course that the women are playing Northwoods Black? They didn't even play the Gold layout the last couple years, they played Blue.

 

[KillerKoala777]

From what I understand, Northwoods Black features 12 new holes that weren't a part of the previous layouts. So it's a new course just about.

 

[BogeyNoMore]

Based on what the TD and players said during the presser, it's Northwood Black is pretty much a new and different course than what they've played before. Completely new holes designed so that par is actually a good score. With the new holes being so fresh, the rough will make scrambling particularly tough, so placement is likely to be more important than distance.

 

[Shankapotamus]

FPO is playing NW Black, but it's from the short.

Course breakdown: Par: 68. Length: 10,529 feet (MPO), 8,818 feet (FPO). Baskets: DGA Mach X.

He got a par on #1

 

[dehaas]

What's the deal with Northwood Black? Did Northwood get a complete redesign or were the new holes added to make for more than 18 holes on the property?

I haven't played up there in probably close to 15 years, and I believe it's went through one redesign at least since then.

The "whoops" was that the tournament starts on Thursday

 

[autocrosscrx]

Dang. KJUSA with 6 OB throws in the first 8 holes.

 

[Bigtex]

I just noticed Hailey King is rocking some Vans during round 1. Makes me wonder if she could pull out a gnarly kick flip at a moments notice.

 

[BogeyNoMore]

Dang. KJUSA with 6 OB throws in the first 8 holes.

No bueno.

 

[Bigtex]

Did Charlie Eisenhood narrate the old PDGA Worlds videos? His voice sounds so darn familiar

 

[Horsman]

Correct me if I am wrong, but shouldn't Hailey King get penalized because her caddie is wearing a sleeveless shirt? I think its a dumb rule but its in the book.

He's only tied for 2nd at -7 after 17...
