    Review by JRW III in course Oak Meadow Park DGC

    4.50 star(s) One of Houston's Best Courses - Never crowded; No waiting at 1 to start and rarely get held up by a group in front of you. - Good variety of holes: open, tight, long, short, and 3 holes (sometimes 5) with water in play. - Nice concrete tee pads from the whites. - New Mach 7 baskets (as of...

    National Tour folds into DGPT

    For those TDs who also vend, there is a decent amount of profit to be made on the difference between the wholesale cost of discs and the retail price the discs are vended at. That profit is often used by the TD to fund the tournament expenses, sometimes including pro payout. On the other hand...

    National Tour folds into DGPT

    I agree with this statement. But what I usually see is the TD's profit from the AMs being used for the Pro's. Example: There is a large B-Tier that I like to attend every year. As an Rec AM player, it is effectively no payout and token player pack. The TD makes a good profit off of me, which I...

    National Tour folds into DGPT

    Very possible that we are headed down that path. The recent growth has been incredible. There are lot of things I have seen people chiming for: higher payouts for pros, more and better coverage, etc... . In order to do that, you will need the outside ad dollars. Personally, I am fine where it...

    Building a Bag For a Tournament - how do you do it?

    I rarely change my discs for the course, but I also don't change elevation. I have a Zuca transit cart. When I play tournaments, I will add a small bag on the bottom with back ups in case I lose a disc during the round. I also put a buckhorn bin with a full complement of back ups in my car in...

    I was the one who reached out to you via text. Sold you mine and put you in contact with my friend. Hope it flys good for you. Much better to be flying again than to be sitting in my garage.

    Disc Prices Out of Control

    Classic supply and demand. Supply had many disruptions during COVID (forced closures, raw plastic, labor, etc..). Many industries, not just disc manufacturing, are still feeling the effects. At the same time that supply was limited, demand EXPLODED. The increase in the sport has been amazing...

    How Do You Deal with Defiant Pedestrians?

    After explaining nicely that they are on a disc golf course, if they don't move I fire away. Note, my home course is in a private park, so a little different politics than a public course.

    Noticing wrong scores after the event

    There is no "fix" to your score. You would gain 2 strokes on the scorecard, but also get a 2 stroke penalty for submitting an incorrect score, so the net would be no change

    New 1099-K Thresholds

    Buried in the last stimulus bill is a change to the thresholds for the 1099-K beginning in tax year 2022. The payee must be issued a Form 1099-K if the service processed more than $600 worth of payments regardless of the number of individual payments or transactions. Prior to this change, the...

    health coverage for touring pros

    Should the PDGA fund Pros insurance - No. Could the PDGA set up an optional group plan, funded the the pros/members who opt in - maybe. Would depend if the group plan could be priced competitively to other options. Could do that for life insurance and other services as well.

    2-day C tier vs 2x 1-day C tier?

    I will be running two days for the first time this September. One PDGA sanctioning, different divisions on different days. For DGScene, do you set up one event or two separate events?

    Fast-Filling Events

    We do a sliding scale refund based on how far out you cancel and did the spot get filled. There are some PDGA rules that regulate how far you can take it out, which we could go further. May look into going further with the recent spike in cancellations. Below is a copy of our refund policy from...
