PDGA # 50,000

[BogeyNoMore]

I am surprised by how many new members are from overseas.

Great for the sport for it to be gaining traction internationally.

I noticed someone had a PDGA mini that doesn't have their PDGA # on it... guess they got away from that. Glad I joined while they were still printing our PDGA # on them. I like having my very own 48454 mini... it's the only mini I ever use.

Thanks. It's a great community and it's way past time to literally pay my dues. Not a huge tourney player, but maybe it's time to start. I see new-ish players jumping in and competing, maybe join the action but mostly needed a number already.

Darn, was looking forward to a number mini as I've seen, oh well I guess I'll just need a tattoo to remember instead.

Holy crap ... can't believe how low my 27089 suddenly feels ... I felt scummy for missing out on the sub-20000 number

Same way I feel for not jumping on the bandwagon for a 4-digit. :doh:

Just picked up 74972
Sub 75k! Will be cool in 20 years. Was hoping for 74999 but that will be soon!

You are currently the highest number listed on the PDGA's player search page. Must have been the last one in when they last processed memberships.

I'm sure it's a volume thing regarding the minis. Not just volume with membership but volume with the manufacturers that made the minis. Obviously, each number would require a new set-up for the stamp so it's probably time consuming. I imagine Innova and Discraft do a whole lot more custom stamping than they did when they were helping produce the individualized minis.

The numbers on my personalized PDGA mini were put on with some type of vinyl stickers. I had friend that joined at same time and they used their mini and lost a couple of the vinyl numbers. My mini looks like this one. I joined the PDGA in late 1996.

Still have mine.

I quit using mine when the numbers started peeling off.

You know what - I think when I get my mini I'll take some measurements and have the "plotter guy" cut me some green (or blue?) numbers to place on the mini. New old school if there's no numbers on there. Thanks for the post!

Or you could buy these rub on transfer numbers. Available online or any art/craft store.

Recieved #'s just mins from signing them up. Was gonna wait till lunch time but wanted their #'s close to each other.

Good luck whomever gets 75,000

 

[Jenga54]

I believe someone has 75000 reserved

Not sure.

I know when I was waiting out for #50,000 I called PDGA only to find out it was reserved. I asked them then if I could reserve a # too but they told me they stopped doing that earlier in 2012 I believe. I ended up just waiting until OCT 1 to get the extra 3 months for the year. I ended up with #50472 which I forget half the time :doh:

Yep. Mine was 12120---if you'd turned around in line, you might have seen me---and I used it for a long time. When the first "1" fell off, it started getting me a whole lot of respect.

You don't?

The order in which I lose different disc golf equipment:

1. Pencils
2. Minis
3. Towels
4. Discs

There's no way in Hell, (or any other town in Michigan) I'm using my PDGA mini as anything but a wall hanger.
