Does anyone have any information about Polar Bear Doubles, which is listed on the PFDS calendar as taking place on March 5, 2011? Someone at dgcoursereview.com sent me an email requesting information about the event, but I know nothing about it.

Tournament details are being ironed out as we speak.

I just added the event to our calendar only two days ago. Glad to see folks looking ahead! We'll post more information soon. Stay tuned... :)

Ok, thanks Jerry.

Lets go pens
