Altruism is alive and well in the disc golf community!

Last month, the Disc Golf Foundation (DGF) placed a call for help through PDGA.com and the PDGA Weekly Disc Golf e-Newsletter which resulted in an outpouring of support. Those individuals interested in the board positions were put through a vetting process conducted over a number of weeks which included multiple interviews and reference checks.

It is now our pleasure to announce the following people to the Disc Golf Foundation Board of Directors:
