DGPT - LWS Open at Idlewild presented by Dynamic Discs & The Nati

LWS Open at Idlewild: New Title Sponsor: LWS Accounting

Idlewild returns for it's 6th year on the Disc Golf Pro Tour. presented by Dynamic Discs and hosted by The Nati Disc Golf and their excellent staff. Known by many as the most challenging and difficult course on tour, this beast has it all. Elevation changes on numerous holes may impact your required distance. Punishing rough lined fairways grab errant shots with no remorse. The snake like creek that slithers through several holes increases the risk of adding strokes as well as constricting greens around several baskets. Shot accuracy and placement take a higher priority than just raw distance. Weather conditions have also played a big factor in our first two years and will most likely continue it's dreaded rein. No lead is safe going down the final stretch of holes. Join us this summer for another exciting event at Idlewild DGC.
