More top Pros coming to MA in 2010

Have you checked out the registration list for this year's Vibram Open? As of today, there are several 1000+ rated players making their first trip to MA to join returning golfers David Feldberg, Sarah Stanhope, and Val Jenkins.

Maybe you've heard of Nate Doss and Josh Anthon, perhaps? Awesome news!

You can still get into the VO

If you didn't get in to the Vibram Open the traditional way by signing up on Jan. 1, then you still have a chance -- just win one of the several VO qualifying events. See, isn't that easy?

Head to a red dot and win!

NT Rules exam

Starting in 2010 if you want to compete in a National Tour event like the Vibram Open you will have to demonstrate your knowledge of the Rules of Play as well. At this year's Fall Summit, the Board of Directors voted that all NT participants will be required to pass a Rules Proficiency Exam before being allowed to tee off. Go to PDGA for more info.

VO coverage in Discgolfer magazine

My article on the Vibram Open, along with a few photos, were published in Discgolfer, the official magazine of the PDGA. See page 44-47. In a related article, TD Steve Dodge gave me an "atta boy" for writing this very blog during the tournament. Nice.

Even though I've written tons of boring technical manuals and won a few awards for them in my past life as a software and hardware technical writer, I must admit that writing an article on disc golf and getting it published in a major magazine kicks butt.

I look forward to writing more for the magazine or any other disc golf publication, blog, or event. Seriously, send me an email and let's get writing!
