Unfortunately, some of the changes haven’t been great for disc golfers.

And I’ve been told that not everyone in that 15% growth is a former Ultimate Frisbee player, despite what you may be hearing out there. The PDGA reports that memberships are up above 15% from the previous year and tour events are up over 15% worldwide (with a 12.91% increase in the USA, and at least a 20% growth in Europe, Canada, Africa/Asia, and Latin America). PDGA memberships, discs sold, and interest in the sport are at an all-time high. Course basket locations change, my form as a player has gone through many changes, and even the discs themselves have physically changed when I slam them into trees off the tee-box.Īlthough some of the changes we have seen during 2020 have been awful, there have been many positives for disc golf. My time playing disc golf has been defined by things that have changed.
