2015 PDGA Amateur & Junior Disc Golf World Championships

2015 PDGA Pro Worlds

Event Info

The 2015 PDGA Amateur World Championships Presented by Bell’s Brewery will be held in Kalamazoo, MI from July 18 through July 25th. Our whole team is looking forward to seeing you in Kalamazoo this summer.

Host Lake Effect Disc Golf was created by several local disc golfers to host the World Championships, promote disc golf in our area, improve our local courses, and create a memorable time for all involved. We are proud of how disc golf has grown in our area and the dedication of a lot of the local players that have put time into making the courses better and even creating new ones. We want to highlight Kalamazoo to the disc golf community!

For our core team this will be the second World Championship that we have run. We hosted the 2008 PDGA Pro/Amateur Disc Golf World Championships Presented by Bell’s Brewery. We are extremely proud of that event and feel that it was one of the best World Championships in history. Our plan is to try and top that event!

You may have noticed that the 2008 World Championships was also presented by Bell’s Brewery. Bell’s has been a big supporter of disc golf. It goes back to them helping raise money to buy baskets for our first course at Coldbrook Park and continued through till today! They have supported disc golf -please support them, and with how good their beer is, that is pretty easy!

We will be raising money for the Great Lakes Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association by hosting a raffle. We are looking for some donations for this raffle.
