Birdshot was formed in the summer of 2007 because a group of disc golf buddies realized that nobody was running tournaments in the greater Houston area. They decided that the tradition started before them by John (Gimp) Edwards and Scott Rosanski of Team Disaster, and then by Rick (Danger) Bannister of FlyNHigh Disc Golf.com was too good to not be continued somehow, someway.
Saturday only, local, PDGA sanctioned tournaments is the way we like it. Team Disaster started with the Gulf Coast Championship Series. I preregistered for all 5? events in 2003. The Gulf Coast Championship Series evolved into the Lone Star Series. Rick Bannister continued the Lone Star Series. Since we are going to be presenting only local tournaments, we decided to change it to the Greater Houston Championship Series and hope to continue the excellent standards that preceded us. After all, Houston is the 4th largest city in the U.S. with some very good disc golf courses, players, and a strong local disc golf club, HFDS.
In 2009 we added Shawshank of Huntsville, Pleasure Island Classic of Port Arthur, Klein Park tournament "Thomas Bertrand Memorial" of Beaumont, and "Jingle-Jangle-Dango" at Snow Farm of Winnedale so we changed our series name to 2009 Birdshot Championship Series.
In 2010 we added some Sunday events and more mini tournaments as new courses pop up on the map. |
