Welcome to the Ace Eagle Disc Golf
PDGA Affiliate Club web page.
The PDGA would like to announce the 3rd year of the Affiliate Club PDGA Membership contest. For details, scroll down to the bottom of this page.
2008 will be the seventh 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 benfits 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.
- (NEW) For each club that registers by Februrary 1st, 2008, the club contact will receive 5 copies of each 2008 issue of Flying Disc Magazine! (Renewing 2007 Clubs that handled more than 25 discounted PDGA memberships in 07 will get 10 copies of each issue.)
- Upon receipt of the ACP fee of $25, the club contact will be sent one PDGA Course Directory.
- The club will also receive a forum on the DISCussion Board.
<- Various disc sport merchants are offering exclusive discounts to ACP members.
1) 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 other
promotional 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 2008.
- 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.
- We would like to the clubs to coordinate with their State and Provincial Coordinators to get more courses surveyed for the PDGA Course Evaluation Program.
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 Bundled memberships. It was received so well in 2006 and 2007 that we are doing it again in 2008!
The contest will run from Nov 1st 2007 through Aug 31st 2008 and will include only 2008 ACP handled PDGA memberships that are submitted by active 2008 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 bundled memberships turned in, B) will award the club that turns in the most new PDGA members in their bundles, while C) will award the club that turns in the most memberships above their 2007 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.
