So here is the Mission Statement of the PDGA as of June 2020:
Mission Statement:
To develop disc golf into a globally-recognized competitive sport and recreational activity through:
Player participation
Tournament development
Spectator participation
Course development
Rules and competitive standards
Media and sponsor relations
Public education and outreach
To sustain the growth of the organization, membership, and disc golf by means of:
Financial stewardship
Asset and resource management
Membership support
I don't see anywhere in the statement that members would be guaranteed personal happiness.....................................
You're going to have to work that out that on you own. Now, think for a moment, last time you played, you might've been on a course where the PDGA had a hand in the development. I bet you were happy as you threw your first disc, before you stunk it up with crappy play. Then you were mad. That's not the fault of the PDGA or its mission. That's on you.
