2019 Discmania Combine Results

The 2019 Discmania Combine Tour marked its fourth season testing disc golfers in a series of events in order to earn themselves a roster spot on Team Discmania.

During these one-day events, competitors demonstrate their proficiencies in putting, approaching, driving, and their capability of putting that all together on the disc golf course for one round of total score to determine the best individual performers.

Of course, it’s critical to score well but it’s also very important to the Team Managers that all players conduct themselves in a professional manner and display ultimate sportsmanship throughout the entire competition. Although, we are looking for the best overall players in Men’s, Women’s & Juniors, we are also looking for players that represent themselves well as that’s very crucial in making the team.

Being a solid and well-rounded individual is essential to being a player for Team Discmania. It’s that once in a lifetime chance for the players to earn sponsorship from a major disc manufacturer and an opportunity to take their possible career in disc golf to the next level.

This year’s schedule took us to Colorado, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania.

Colorado Combine Recap

In Colorado, we got to see some impressive play by several players including local Shad Green who posted a Combine record with 356 points out of a possible 400 points. He scored 88 points in approach, 70 points in putting, a Combine best of 98 points for driving distance/speed and shooting a 49 during the golf round to score 100 points to lock down the top spot in Wellington.

Minnesota Combine Recap

A blast from the past, as Peter Middlecamp attended our event in Minnesota. He was a very active player in the mid-2000’s as he was on tour playing in many of the biggest events throughout the country. He is a veteran within the sport and he proved it during the Combine posting a 341 total points with a high of 83 points in approach, second best in putting with 75 points and the second lowest score in golf to earn 95 points. He played consistent all day and he couldn’t be beaten as he held it down on the home turf.

Pennsylvania Combine Recap

The highly contested combine north of Philadelphia was held at the Preserve at AGA Farms in Perkasie, Pennsylvania. This event brought out players from from Tennessee, North Carolina, and Illinois. We nearly missed the effects of Hurricane Dorian moving up the east coast as we experienced steady winds throughout the day which definitely proved difficult for the players during the approach and putting sections. Dave Dunn displayed a dominant performance scoring the event’s highest points in putting (70 pts), approach (65 pts) and the round of golf (100 pts) leading the pack in all of those disciplines.

Future of the Combine

As the Combine process continues into the fall, we’ll provide updates as to who has made the team along with Combine dates for 2020. Thanks to everyone who came out and made their strongest attempt at landing a spot on Team Discmania!
