3 of those have been PDGA/KDGA in the past. GB, Ransom, and a PDGA event in Winfield.

I don't know why PDGA sanctioning would turn people away?

They are all C tier events, that you don't have to be a PDGA member to play.

Frizzz explain to me why it would turn people away. I am not asking in a Prick voice? I really want to know.

I think making the events PDGA will only increase their popularity. $5 extra should not be an issue to non-PDGA. Instead of $5 extra, it should be looked at the other way around....$5 off and should probably be advertised that way. Makes more sense on the marketing side of things.

Do you think the founders[of the KDGA]wanted this to turn into the PDGA?They wanted you to have fun,not generate revenue.Keeping costs down IS important to increasing attendance.

What does this mean Tracy?............................................................

So just because it's a PDGA tournament, it's not fun?? Hmmm......I better write that one down. I seem to recall having fun EVERYTIME I play

Wellinton will probably not be a PDGA event.

I don't think KDGA events started out as money makers. But don't kid yourself, the "founding fathers" have made a ton of money off the KDGA.

Are you delusional, Friz? Don't answer that.

The PDGA events (other than the friz) drew the biggest attendance last year.

There are a number of benefits the title PDGA brings to an event....

A payout you can count on.
Good competition.
A fair tournament. Players know the rules and aren't allowed to make them up as they go. This kind of golf is for casual rounds.

The PDGA is trying to bring legitmacy to the sport and is doing a good job. They should be supported.

Join the PDGA and it will be worth it.

The KDGA will lose attendance at tournaments and popularity if events are not PDGA sanctioned. I don't agree with the high fees associated with the PDGA but realize the it is a very important aspect for the majority of tournament players. How many disc golfers will attend a non-sanctioned event before they attend a sanctioned event within 100 miles? I know the sanctioned event will draw more disc golfers, especially from further distances.

Give me one good reason why every PDGA event on the Oz tour can`t cover the 5 dollar penalty imposed on non-PDGA members?We could at least have a KDGA budget to cover for KDGA members.

That is not a half bad idea if you ask me. Actually on second thought I like it a lot.

Rusco is right on the money. The $5.00 isn't added on to the price of the tourney. It is a discount for those members who pay their PDGA dues.

I think the KDGA could pay PDGA sanctioning if we raised the KDGA fees to $95.00 for open players and $70.00 for all Ams.
