The PDGA National Tour, presented by Vibram DG has just two events remaining. The men's and women's sides have tightened up a bit and a handful of players on both sides have a good shot at winning the NT crown. The Vibram Open, August 16-19, will again be the crowning event of the National Tour.

Spread the Word - Tee Time Selection Show next Tuesday, August 7th @ 8:00 PM EST

On Tuesday, August 7th at 8:00 PM EST, we will broadcast our fifth annual Vibram Open Tee Time Selection Show. All of the player names are put into four buckets, divided by player rating. We then choose one name out of each bucket to determine the player's tee times. Lively predictions and a rolling Twitter feed will make this the best tee time show yet.

Tune in here!

While DiscGolfPlanet.tv will not be doing the coverage at The Vibram Open this year, we'll still have a ton of cut rate coverage going on this year such as lots of live scoring, probably a tape delay feed, player interviews (if they shoot well or crazy below expectations), and commentary from Terry Miller and some special guests. We will do our best and Steve expects it will be quite watchable, especially by the weekend when we work out any kinks.

For now, plan on The Vibram Open live coverage starting on Thursday August 16th around noon EST and concluding on Sunday August 19th with the Awards Presentations.

Is the $10,000 FPO payout for the 2012 Vibram Open the largest ever in PDGA history? I think it just may be! http://fb.me/1wRgg00uI
