All great ideas. When you do random doubles design it where the new players will always play with a more seasoned player. Gives them a fighting chance at walking away with something.
Our club is starting a new league in the spring where the cost to play will be $4.00 and all the newer players will draw first for players then the seasoned players will draw...giving all the new players a chance to play with someone that they can hopefully learn from.
We're paying out discs only...no cash and will pay out 50% every night. Our goal is simply to attract new players to the club, league play and one day tournaments. We're also moving the league to what is becoming the most played course in the area.
The course where league has been held since 2005 is the most difficult course in the area and is not beginner friendly.

Have cheap tournaments costing like 2.00 to play and 2-5 cans of food for donation. Call the local newspapers (they love covering sports and they love covering charity work). From this publicity, put an ad in the article for people to come out to your course and set up a clinic (with pros or players on your course who could successfully teach a large group how to play) where you gave away discs with an entry fee of like 5.00 per person or free if they have their own discs.
I am currently working on putting together a series of charity tournaments (one each month) in order to get a big draw for a weekend tournament I am looking to put together for late May. It's all about showing the community you are in some way giving back to them by having them come out and play.
Get the schools interested. See about forming local leagues (college down to grammar school). Ask about installing a basket on school grounds or a short 3 holer for schools with larger properties.

The one on the right has no skill.
DGers need to stop making the news for car accidents and drugs or parents and schools will not let kids play. Adult behavior would be a good start tom attracting more players. But I like empty courses, so by all means please act like a bunch of messed up adolescents.

Seems like the more people that there are playing, the more garbage that gets left at the course, and the more damage done to the courses. I was happier when less people played.
