Hey guys,
I thought I'd share this here although you'll probably hear it elsewhere as well. I'm teaming up with the Next Gen tour for a few things. I'm helping them out on their site with stuff related to the results for the events and all that goes on behind the scenes there. I'll also be offering entrants a discounted premium membership to the site should they want to get in on that. There will be a Next Gen specific forum for competitors here as well. Should be pretty cool!

Here's the official PR text:
Next Generation Disc Golf sponsored by Latitude 64° announces strategic partnerships with the Disc Golf Pro Tour (DGPT), www.dgpt.com and Disc Golf Course Review (DGCR) www.dgcoursereview.com for the 2017 tour series consisting of 118 tournaments around the country with the National Champion winning a car.
The DGPT will provide 2018 Tour Cards to the top 5 finishers of the National Championship, reserving spots to compete in every DGPT event. Additionally, a limited edition DGPT item will be available exclusively to Next Generation Tour competitors. The item will be announced in late February - stay tuned!
"The Next Generation Tour Series provides a fun tournament experience for all amateurs leading to championships offering a competitive experience that mimics the focus, pressure and feel of our sport's top professional events. Our strategic partnership with the Disc Golf Pro Tour includes the first-ever path for top amateurs transitioning into touring disc golf professionals." said David Feldberg, Next Generation Tour Series Director.
"Disc Golf doesn't have an equivalent to our sporting cousin's Q-School and we think Next Generation Disc Golf may be onto something. We are excited to be a part of it." stated Steve Dodge, Tour Director of the DGPT.
Disc Golf Course Review's partnership includes coordinating and reporting tournament results, national standings, invitations for the regional and national championship tournaments and providing players with DGCR Round Ratings. A discounted premium membership to the DGCR site with exclusive Next Generation competitor features will be offered to all registrants. "DGCR looks forward to this partnership!" posted Tim Gostovic, DGCR owner, on his forum.
"From my travel blog on DGCR to it being my go-to resource for course information, I've been a fan for years and bringing Tim's talents onto the team directly translates into a better experience for our competitors." praised Feldberg.
