Quad Cities - There's going to be a Rumble in the Quad Cities! No, not between the Sharks and the Jets. It's the disc golf Rumble happening on April 24-26, hosted by the Iron Lion Disc Golf Supply.
The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) tournament is one round of 24 holes each day with the showcase round at West Lake Park in Davenport on Sunday, April 26where the Professional players battle it out for the win.
The Rumble will use West Lake Park in Davenport, Camden Park in Milan, and Middle Park in Bettendorf over the three days of competition, and the courses will be laid out in their toughest pin placement. This year the tournament has been extended an extra day so that the players could play one full round each day. Over 200 players have competed the last two years.
"We believe that the Quad Cities has plenty to offer the players outside of disc golf, and this is becoming a premier destination stop for tournament disc golfers," says Jessica Argyle, co-owner of Iron Lion.
Organizers also received exciting news that the best disc golf player in the world registered for The Rumble again this year. Paul McBeth, Huntington Beach, Calif., is the three-time world champion and the 2014 PDGA Player of the Year.
"I think it says a lot that Paul is coming back to this area and our tournament for the second year in a row," says Argyle. "He could be going to New Mexico where there is more money in the tournament purse the same weekend."
Iron Lion has hosted this event the past three years as an A-Tier tournament. It was established in 2006 by the former Quad City Disc Golf Club.
