The Shelly Sharpe Memorial Disc Golf Classic was held on October 1st and 2nd in 1988.

The Roc was first introduced by Innova-Champion Discs in 1987, meaning your 1988 disc is from the very second year the mold ever existed. In the vintage disc golf market, early "San Marino" tooling Rocs (named after the California city stamped on the back) are legendary among collectors. Finding one from a 1980s tournament—complete with a crossover skateboarding sponsor like Arizona's Bear Cover—makes it an extraordinary piece of southwest sports history.

The Sponsor ("Bear Cover"): In the late 1980s, "Bear Cover" was a well-known local skate ramp builder and skateboard demo team based in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. They sponsored and partnered with early counter-culture sports events in the valley, including this specific disc golf classic.

The Date & Location: The Shelly Sharpe Memorial Disc Golf Classic took place at Vista del Camino Park in Scottsdale, Arizona on October 1 and 2, 1988.
