PDGA Board Pres. Justin Menickelli is coming on PDGA Radio this week...Questions?

Having heard interviews about the book "The Definitive Guide..." & understanding that the title wasn't his idea, I still have to ask about the section on manufacturers. There is not a mention of Lightning, why is that?
 
Over the past year or so there have been at least a couple of incidences of policies being released that required an immediate about face on the part of the organization (smoking, ams taking merch, td's being forced to collect additional pdga fees from ams cashing in pro divisions)- in at least one of these cases (smoking) the policy released in no way resembled the policy actually presented to the Board. What steps are being taken to prevent such occurrences? Is there a chance of the Oversight Director position being brought back?
 
"What do you think of the idea of having officials on the lead, chase, or all, cards of the final round in the larger tournaments?"

"If..you don't support the idea, why do you think violations are not being called?"

Thank you! :)
 
Where have all the cowboys gone?

Follow up question: AaaahhhhhOooohhhhhhhAaaaaaaahhhhh?

Secondary to "what's with all the reversals" would be my question: What the hell were you guys thinking in the first place with the new rules about Ams playing Pro taking merch and TDs withholding payout in order to upgrade PDGA membership from Am to Pro? Yes, they were thankfully reversed, but those two rules in particular seems like there was very little thought given to the workload and bad-guy status this would put on all the volunteer TDs out there.

This. Gotta ask the tough questions that no one has answered. It's a member run organization and members should know why this happened.

Thank you! :)

Or better yet, the role of social media and video coverage in the latest bout of infractions. Really the rules, nor the way they are called has really changed. It is just now, a lot of the interwebz gets to see and comment about missed....or ignored infractions.

Maybe follow up with, where do we find all of these volunteer officials?
 
has the pdga considered revamping their paramaters for disc design. the game has changed through the years yet we are still stuck on outdated disc size limitations ie rim size. grow the sport. how about grow the disc specs as well!

are you actually advocating to make the darn things wider? they are already too wide in my opinion.

I am also very curious to hear Dr. Justin's responses.
