Disc Golf Courses: Recreational Programs and Competitions
Park departments across the country have been pleasantly surprised at the level of enthusiasm shown by most disc golf clubs. Clubs often engage in park clean up, course maintenance, and charity work related to their local events. Weekly and monthly singles and doubles tournaments bring golfers out to challenge their fellow players. A random doubles format is exceedingly popular as it may pair a beginner with a pro, allowing beginners to both learn and win in a fun positive environment. Churches and camps have also installed disc golf courses to great success. Boy Scout troops have installed courses as community service projects.
Disc golf has two annual global events. The World’s Biggest Disc Golf Weekend takes place on nearly 200 courses around the world in Mid-May. The Ice Bowl happens in late January and early February to promote disc golf solidarity and raise funds for local food banks. Disc

Its 20,000 plus members live and play in more than twenty countries on five continents. The PDGA writes the rules for disc golf, provides members with a full-color magazine called Disc Golf World News, and is a source of information about the sport.
Every year the PDGA sanctions competitions for professional and amateur players. Competitors earn points by participating in these events, which are tabulated by the PDGA, and used to determine invitations to the annual World Professional and Amateur Disc Golf Championships.
