The Board of Directors and PDGA staff have recognized the need to refocus on the grassroots of the sport. Details on the following three programs are currently being developed for implementation in 2011. More Rankings ratings POY PDGA Share
What's up with rankings and ratings as we approach year-end? The latest World Rankings for men and women have been posted for events reported as of Dec. 1. No change at the top since the October update with Nikko Locastro and Valarie Jenkins still leading men and women. However, some positions below the top have shifted around even though the primary difference between the October and December rankings is due to this ratings update. No new Majors, NTs or ETs have been played since then. More PDGA employment PDGA Share

Rob Ledwedge and Clare Wertz were honored last week as volunteers of the year by Tiffin Park and Recreation Department of Ohio for promoting disc golf. "The two have been instrumental in promoting our disc golf course at Hedges-Boyer Park over the past five years, as well as the sport of disc golf in general," said Matt Coleman, program director. "Both gentlemen have been a part of hosting numerous tournaments, which have brought people from all over the United States into our beautiful park."

After landing his disc in the first hole, in four throws, Anderson County Sheriff John Skipper Jr. told the crowd that he had made it in two shots. "Anyone want to argue?" he asked, with mock malice. No one did. Skipper was perhaps the best novice at disc golf to play at the opening of a new Anderson, S.C., course. He made the one hole that a group of Anderson County officials played in fewer shots than interim county administrator Rusty Burns, county council Chairman Tommy Dunn or several other Anderson County officials.

Disc golf in Auckland, New Zealand, looks one step closer to having a place to call home. From February, Waterview's Heron Park will be trialed as a permanent venue for the sport. The game has similar rules to normal golf except players must toss a Frisbee into a metal basket from varying distances of up to 200 meters. For three years the Auckland City Council worked with the New Zealand Flying Disc Association to find a suitable site for the game. More

A new disc golf course is expected to open in Kure Beach, N.C., in the beginning of the New Year. The course's opening was delayed because of a problem with ticks and chiggers located in the brush. This is the area's second public disc golf course, featuring a hole more than 600 feet long. It is located behind Joe Eakes Park on 7th Street. More Disc golf gains in popularity in parts of the US The 19th Hole Report Share
Schenectady, N.Y., is an area that's not too far from a number of quality golf courses, and while the sport of golf has seen a rise in popularity, especially since Tiger Woods exploded onto the PGA scene, another form of golf has also taken rise: disc golf. Jeff Wiechowski was a young man growing up in the suburbs of Detroit. One day, he happened to walk by a local park and several people playing a game with which he was completely unfamiliar with. They were throwing Frisbees into elevated baskets. Wiechowski later learned that the game was called disc golf, and he quickly became hooked. More |
