After a successful Disc Golf Pro Tour event in 2017, the DGPT is returning to Jonesboro! Each city on Tour is evaluated after their event and we were chosen as part of the Pro Tour again in 2018. The ultimate goal of the Pro Tour is to have 15 stops and there are commu-nities all across the country vying to be a host city.

This is an opportunity to showcase Jonesboro, Northeast Arkansas and the entire STATE of Arkansas (there have been over 540,000 views on YouTube and counting from last year!) The PDGA (Professional Disc Golf Association) has been around for 41 years and the Jonesboro Open is by far the biggest disc golf event ever held in the Natural State. To have a stop on the Disc Golf Pro Tour is a true boon for our region, as other cities are bidding to attract these large tournaments that pour thousands of dollars in the local community.

One of the tournaments listed above - the Ledgestone Insurance Open in Peoria, Illinois - went from a concept to an estimated $1.5 mil-lion economic impact for the city in just six years!

For Jonesboro to keep our spot in 2019 and be-yond, we need to show that the community can and will support the Pro Tour.

WE MUST MAXIMIZE THIS OPPORTUNITY

Please consider partnering with those who are bringing this event to our area. Title Sponsor-ship (1), Presenting Sponsorship (1), Naming Sponsors (6) and Hole Sponsors are all availa-ble.

1. On Thursday, April 5 all of the Professional Players from around the world will be available to the local and national media. After the Media portion we will have a Player’s Dinner and ice cream social for eve-ryone as a kick off to the Pro Tour event. All national and local sponsors will be invited to this social.

2. On Friday, April 6 we are planning an organized Street Party downtown for all of the players, profes-sional and amateur. This event will take place from roughly 6:30 to 9:30 (or later). This type of event is very common for disc golf tournaments of this magnitude and is usually attended by the vast majority of the play-ers. We are hoping for 200-300 out of town guests downtown for the evening.

3. The Putting green is used by all players before their round begins. This will be a perfect place to show your support to all of the visiting players.

4. We will have a 20’ X 20’ Tent located at Disc Side of Heaven that will serve as the headquarters for the volunteers and workers of the DGPT. This will be the place to go for answers for everything regarding the tournament. Players, workers and spectators will all go to this tent several times.

5. There will be a 20’ X 40’ Tent located at Disc Side of Heaven and a 20’ x 40’ tent at Craighead Forest Park. These tents are where the players will go to rest, eat, drink etc. Both tents will be heavily used through-out the tournament.

6. Saturday night all amateur players will get at least one throw towards a target and the Closest To the Pin (CTP) will win cold hard cash! This will be a really fun event for you to show your support and to get your name in front of all competitors.
