The PDGA would like to announce the 4th year of the Affiliate Club PDGA Membership
contest. For details, scroll down to the bottom of this page.
2009 will be the eighth year for the ACP. We hope the club program will continue to evolve into a useful tool for disc golf clubs around the country. We've tried to design it to be easy for a club to make the decision to become an Affiliate. Check out the benefits below and "do the math". Suggestions of additional benefits are welcome - the Affiliate Club program has been a community project throughout initial design and it is your input that helps the program develop
as it grows.
BENEFITS
- Current PDGA members on the Affiliate Club's roster will be able to take the PDGA officials test with no fee.
- The club contact will receive a form for ACP discounted PDGA memberships. The club will be allowed to discount $5 for each ACP handled PDGA membership.
- The club will also receive a forum on the DISCussion Board.
- Various disc sport merchants are offering exclusive discounts to ACP members: Discovering The World is happy to offer 10% off our extensive product line to Affiliate Club members who are also current PDGA members. This offer excludes, D.G.A. and Innova baskets, our beginner package and any otherpromotional discounts. This discount must be mentioned at the time of ordering by phone, fax, mail, e-mail and off our secure web site (in the comments section @ www.dtworld.com).
We have plenty to get done and could use more help. Click on the Projects button to see some areas that we have identified that could use your help. Ways to contribute to the effort right now include:
- Some of our courses do not have the Latitude and Longitude for the 1st tee entered at the PDGA Course Directory
- Help making course maps - look for the PDGA Course Map Project to launch in 2009.
- We need some pieces on club play formats: ladders, match play etc.
- We would like to collect some other club oriented documents for publication
on these pages.
The Affiliate Club PDGA Membership Contest
The Affiliate Club PDGA Membership Contest
In 2006 we launched a contest to reward those Affiliate Clubs that turned in the most PDGA Affiliate Club memberships. It has been received so well we are doing it again in 2009!
The contest will run from Nov 17th 2008 through Aug 31st 2009 and will include only 2009 ACP handled PDGA memberships that are submitted by active 2009 PDGA Affiliate Clubs, In the interests of allowing clubs of different sizes a shot at winning, there are 3 categories for this contest: - A) Most PDGA bundled members - B) Most new PDGA members in the bundles - C) Most improved PDGA bundled memberships.
A) will award the club with the most PDGA memberships turned in, B)will award the club that turns in the most new PDGA members, while C) will award the club that turns in the most memberships above their 2008 number of ACP handled PDGA memberships.
A club can win only one of the 3 categories. If the 1st place club has already won in another category, the prize will go to the 2nd place club and so on.
Each winning club will receive $100 in credit for the PDGA Store.
