The 2011 PDGA Elections are currently underway and will run until August 7, 2011. Have you voted yet?

Through most of its 36 year history, the name of our association has been the subject of discussion and debate. In founding the organization, Ed Headrick chose the ambitious name “Professional Disc Golf Association” as a challenge to what the game might actually become. Ed thought that adding money to the game would build interest from the public and make play more exciting.

Congratulations to Jaska Halttunen of Karkkila, Finland for submitting the winning designs in the 2011 PDGA Ace and Birdie Club logo contest. We received artwork from more than 25 people in this year's contest. For submitting the winning designs, Jaska will receive a 2011 PDGA Membership along with an Ace Club package and Birdie Club package.

The PDGA Board of Directors fall summit will be held on September 18-19, 2010 at the PDGA International Disc Golf Center in Appling, GA. The agenda for the summit can be found here:

As July moves through the calendar quickly, the Woodchuck Cider Drive for the Championship is gaining in intrigue.  Our top players have been jockeying for position on the PDGA National Tour through the first seven events, but the next stop on “the Drive” is the World Championships, where players in the hunt will not have the option to swap out a better showing.  

Coming from nearby Hinckley, Ohio, Valarie Jenkins has some early memories of the Brent Hambrick Memorial, but not necessarily from the course.

“Living in Ohio, these are the tournaments my parents would go to all the time,” Jenkins remembered.  “And I would just sit in the car reading magazines.  I didn’t even care.”

Nate Doss and Valarie Jenkins Take Leads into Final Day at Brent Hambrick Memorial in Columbus, Ohio, as players find two extremely different experiences on the two courses at the Hoover Dam disc golf complex.
