I am thrilled to see other
resource sites come online. Some cover more than others but all are useful.
Disc
Golf Resources
Brian Sullivan from DiscLife.com Michigan has come up with some meaty info.
The San Francisco Disc Golf Club
These guys are sharp and professional with their approach. Their discs
for kids program is a smart concept and the proposals are well writen.
Building a Disc Golf Course
Disc Golf courses don't
build themselves. They require dedicated individuals willing to convince
local officials of the benefits of the sport. It's worth your
time to get involved. Hopefully these links will make it easier to get
started.
Course Development
This page has a wealth of info on many aspects of building a course.
Disc Golf Course Design Goals
This is a list of design criteria as prepared by the Disc Golf Course Designers
group. Must read info if you are thinking of a new course. These
folks have been leading the forefront on the topic for some time.
Disc Golf Association
These are the people who make the Pole Hole targets. This should be your
first stop. Their site will help you figure the costs of a course. If
you are thinking about building a course, write them and request a "lit pack".
The lit pack has been newly reworked and is better than ever. It
is packed full of newspaper articles about disc golf, park testimonials and
more. The lit pack is a good resource to take to your local officials
and show them what disc golf is all about. The DGA has experienced disc golf
course designers able to help you plan your course.
New Course
Proposal
This is a super document from the San Francisco Disc Golf Club. This could
provide a model for writing your own proposal. Look to their site for
more ideas, and thank them for their efforts.
Request for a Disc Golf Course
This is a letter that we wrote requesting a new course. It is not as thorough
as the San Francisco one above but provides an informitive approach.
New
Course Proposal From Michigan
From DiscLife.com. Michigan is dumping courses into the ground, there
are some tips here for doing a proposal.
Course
Design Tips for Better Disc Golf Courses nice
site
John Houck has written some great articles on course design and has put them
up on his website. Coming from the voice of experience, they present some
relevant approaches to designing better courses. Why
is design important? find out
Guide
to Course Design
Innova Champion Discs make some great golf discs. They also offer Disc
Catcher targets as an option. Innova Champion has provided some resources
that would be helpful to doing a proposal.
A Call To Arms..... Length
By Burning Sphere This short essay argues for shorter holes on more courses
in order to be beginner friendly. Longer tees can also be included, but
there are benefits to having a set of short tees.
PDGA Matching
Basket Program
The PDGA has a great program for matching up to nine baskets on an approved
college course.
Setting
up Educational Programs
Many schools
these days are directing their P E programs to include more lifetime sports
and welcome visits from disc players "experts". It is pretty easy to teach
basic skills to kids and it can have big benefits. Look here for teaching
tips and ideas. Plus let us know what you are doing in your own programs.
The Discourse
A manual for students and teachers of the Frisbee disc arts. This is a
super manual for teaching all kinds disc skills. It is available through
Platypus or through Discovering
The World who also carry other good disc books and videos for teaching.
They also offer educational packages and discounts. Request their
big catalog of Frisbee stuff.
The Ultimate Teaching
Package
Ultimate is a great game for school kids. The Ultimate
Players Association offers a nice teaching package for the game of ultimate.
It includes discs and booklets on how to play the game, how to teach kids
and starting a club at your own school.
The World Junior Frisbee Disc Contest
Mattel Sports coordinates this great program every year for kids under 16. 120,000+
kids participate each year. The program is open to parks and recreation
depts, schools and other organizations that organize sport activities for kids.
They provide free equipment to schools and parks through this program. Top

Disc
Golf Leagues
Running
A Disc Golf League With Handicap Scoring
by Chuck Kennedy, provides specifics for a handicapping system
How to
Start and Run a Disc Golf League
From Will's Disc Golf Page. Will runs a league at the Morley Field Course
in San Diego. He covers a lot of ideas on running a league-from handicaps
to promoting it. A good format for a local bar league.

out.

up team play in your own town.
Tips
for Running a Disc Golf Tournament
The TD's List of Tools
Not to Forget
It helps if you are prepared when you do a tournament. This is
a list of some helpful stuff
In Praise of Players Packages
To offer a players package or not to offer a players package? That is
the question
Triple Class Promo
We did a triple class tournament and this is the promo we used, use it if
you like.
How to Run a Smooth Awards Ceremony
This piece by Kathy Ignowski provides a checklist to make sure your event
finishes with a bang.
The
Worlds Biggest worth
doing!
This is a fun event every spring designed to get people out to play disc golf
all on the same weekend. Usually noncompetitive it can be a good local promotional
tool. Run a Worlds Biggest on your own course. The Circular
Productions site might has some history of the event. You can email cp@moment.net
or phone the World's Biggest headquarters at 830-833-1227 for more info.
The Ice Bowl
The Ice Bowl now in its twelfth year is traditionally held in January. It
is a for fun charity event with donations raised for local food banks. Last
years goal was to provide 10,000 meals for the needy. Show your own
community that disc golfers do care by holding your own Ice Bowl. You can
request information packages in the fall, email rickdgwn@aol.com
More Media Coverage
The folks in Waco Texas Have been holding a super event, a Charity tournament
that not only has big purses but raises large amounts for charity. Good
media coverage is key to their program, see how they do it.
Australian Flying Disc Association:
Ultimate Frisbee and Other Disc Sports in Australia
They have good ideas for formats and a ton of other useful stuff
Sandbagging
I didn't want
to add a sand bagging section since much of the discussion has been less than
admirable to the sport. I present a few ideas that I think can help the
situation.
Providing Incentives to Reduce Sandbagging
Just a few short ramblings on the subject
An Invitation To Move Up
I don't think that public heckling is a good solution to sandbagging. We
developed an award of sorts to give to our top amateur players. While
being a little tounge-in-cheek, it is a form of positive re-enforcement demonstrating
a little class.
Payout
Methods to Reduce Sandbagging
Here are some ideas on how to structure your payout to reduce sandbagging.
Proportional Pay Out Tables
I have constructed payout tables that are more fair to amateur players. This
distributes less to the top few players and more to the middle and lower players.
Cicking here you can download an .xls file or email me and I am
happy to snail mail you a copy.

excel file of payout table
Mando Bump Rules
NorCal series has mandatory bump rules for those players who are too good.
Pursuing
Proportional Payouts
This is a an article Kim Theesen, providing support for proportional payouts.
Models
for Disc Golf tours
The
Michigan Disc Golf Organization MDGO
They have their complete tour rules on-line.
The 2001 New England Disc Golf
Points Series
This has a good point system for multi tournament tours.

Finding
and Keeping Sponsors
Sponsors are
important in helping to build disc golf courses and in holding bigger events.
To find them we have to prove our worth and offer them something in return.
Look here for more to come.
Get
More Women Involved
We should be
doing more to welcome women to disc golf. Submit something here.
Women in
Disc Golf
Juliana has started a page on womens issues, Thanks.
Promotional
Ideas
Publish

at the same time. It has been very successful. Find out how.

Hart and Jim Challas
1998 Ultimate Innovation Grants
We have starting a similar grant program in Wisconsin
Clubs
and Organizations
How
to Make Clubs Grow and Thrive

in an area or stalls like a drive hitting the first tree in the fairway. This
article gives some good ideas on how to energize your own local club.
