David Feldberg Wins Triple Crown Of Disc Golf!
David Feldberg played his first game of disc golf just 8 years ago. On Saturday,
he won the triple crown of disc golf. His victory in the 2005 United States Disc Golf Championship held in Rock Hill, South Carolina, beating 183 of the worlds top players, enabled Feldberg to capture the National Tour Title and Cash Title.
I wanted to post something about this last week, but I decided to wait until I had a chance to talk to my buddy Kyle, who was there as a spectator.
We both agreed that the USDGC win and National Tour Title couldn't have gone to a nicer and more deserving fellow. David has been grinding it out on tour for awhile now, and this has to be the biggest win of his career. He took home $11,000.
Kyle remarked that David won it despite carding an 8 on the par 5 13th hole in the final round, beating Michigan's Scott Martin and Tulsa's Kevin Mccoy . As you can see from the USDGC Live Scoring Archive , that final round must have been exciting!
I had a chance to meet David at the Kansas City Wide Open a few years ago. We were both waiting in line for food in one billion degree heat and he struck up a conversation, friendly as can be. He taught a couple throwing clinics that weekend, and was always available for fans.
So here's to a guy who has worked hard on his game and has given back to the sport as well. Congratulations Dave!
About the tournament: According to Kyle, this was the best run event they've held there yet. The course was in terrific condition. You might remember that this was the same course that Climo and Shultz put to shame in a round and round playoff battle. It's much tougher now.
Congratualtions also go out to the lone Illinois representive Brett Comincioli .
In the news, David was featured in this article from the Oregon Daily Emerald:
