THUNDER BAY — Thomas Gilbert had on his Monday red on Thursday, but it was a strategic clothing choice.
The Toronto native is the defending champion and the No. 1 seed heading into this weekend’s event, the first time it’s being held in Northwestern Ontario, scheduled for Friday to Monday at Birch Point, Dragon Hills and Bayview Golf Course. “I’m very excited to be here to defend my title as Canadian national champion,” Gilbert said. “This is a very significant event. There are a lot of events that take place on the disc golf pro tour that happen each year, and I’m prioritizing this one.Gilbert, who has put his throwing ability to the test against the Swedish national golf team, outdriving traditional golfers on at least a couple of holes, said it looks like the courses set up well for a disc golf championship.
“You have to make sure your driving, your putting, your approach game are all on point. You have to have all the skills to be able to be a national champion, so to have those dialed in for the tournament is going to be super key this weekend,” Gilbert said. “I think it’s going to be a really fun battle.”
