I'd like to know how well organized we are as a sport.
1. Do you have a local organization?
2. Is your local org a registered not-for-profit?
3. Is your local org officially recognized by your city government?
4. Do you have a state or provincial org?
5. Does your local org run junior development?
1. Yes though not PDGA registered called Lake Sharpe Disc golf Club for Pierre, South Dakota.
2. not sure but most likely
3. Not by the City Council but the City parks department and the Club recognize each other or a course in a City park would be one where the first draft of course would be a tiny putter practice course with 17-18 holes that most would have to be a a par 1 and some would be ace holes where you re-tee until you get the basket right off the tee or the hole is a guaranteed 2 even for total 100% beginners.
4.Yes it is run still by Kane Lairmer (not sure I spelled his last name right) I think? Not sure if he stepped down and it just sort of fizzled out after he took over PDGA Coordinator for the USA State of South Dakota. One Guy who was running the Black hills club out of Rapid City, though he lives in Sturgis my have taken over if Kane stepped down.
5. Local does not but they help the kids who come to the doubles league who need it. Often a few adults and older teens try help some with form issues or some disc slection if they have done what other beginners tried to do and buy a disc set up, of the bag to be like some pro bags.
Also due to me they have Disc Golf as part of the High School Rec Activities Outdoor program. the High school class use a Stingray or a Putter disc being either a Classic Aviar or Pole Cat if the teen does not have his own bag of discs. The group started with only Stingray discs but had to get the Classic Avair and Pole Cat later as they found the Stingray too US for the teens to use they were shaking them left throwing that hard especially the softball and Baseball Players as well as Hockey players (non school affiliated) and football. Not sure if the Middle School still does a Disc golf thing or not, there they use or used Wham-O Junior Pros or Ultamate discs as the class has a hard time with a few young teens trying to hit other players as you know how Middle school age is. They had to give the Pole Cats to the high school as a select few from the middle school young teens were trying to make others in class, people passing by on the bike path, and teacher all unconscious.
