Deaf Disc Golf<\/strong><\/p>\n

BY DGENTRY<\/p>\n

MAY 26, 2011<\/p>\n

From first sight to first chains, the race is on. The dream is coming true
\nand after three years of preparation, the 11th Annual National Deaf Disc
\nGolf Championship is finally here.<\/p>\n

Disc Golf is a phenomenon that breaks the communication barrier. All it
\nrequires is one disc and transportation to the nearest accessible course
\nwith disc entrapment baskets. During Memorial Day weekend, disc golf is in a
\nposition to influence the vibrant Austin, Texas community and inspire future
\ndisc golfers.<\/p>\n

Over 100 Deaf disc golfers have converged upon the capitol of Texas this
\nweek to attempt to lay claim on the coveted title of “Champion.” Local
\nAustin-ite Justin Ashton is the favored to secure his third National title.
\nHe holds the new record for highest rated deaf disc golfer. Justin is
\ncurrently rated at 991. Charie Crick (MD) looks to defend her title in
\nWomen’s Open. Local Austin-ite Jimmy Starr looks to repeat another battle
\ndown to the wire with Jamie Clark (FL) in the masters division that has a
\nrecord 15 contestants including 2007-2008 Champion James Wilson (CA).<\/p>\n

With the publicity that is occurring this year, membership has seen a 40%
\nincrease. Each division is seeing new records and strong competition like
\nnever before and we look forward to many more competitors.<\/p>\n

Check out who’s going to test their mettle among the nation’s finest Deaf
\ndisc golfers by going here, http:\/\/www.ddga.org<\/a> . Grab a buzz
\ncommemorating TX11 and be sure to thank our title sponsor, Discnation, by
\npurchasing their discs and gear.<\/p>\n

To our fellow competitors, may we all stay out of the schule and routinely
\nmake the 20 foot putts. Don’t forget the sunscreen, stay hydrated, and make
\nsome memories to share with your families.<\/p>\n

Who will take home the travel trophies for a year? Texas’ Austin Ridge Bible
\nChurch AKA “Backyard”, and Twin Parks two courses; Park Shire and Park Hill
\nare the three courses that will test each player’s skills and create a true
\n2011 National Champion after five rounds and a safari Final 9 in the brutal
\nTexas heat. Follow us at http:\/\/www.ddga.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n
