Southern California Disc Golf Association
Description
Our official name is Southern California Disc Golf Association, Inc. We were founded in 1996 by John Ahart, Loren Price, Tim Selinske, and Larry Bell to promote the sport of disc golf in the Southern California region. Our primary mission is to bring the sport back to the prominence it once had, through a series of PDGA-sanctioned tournaments. Disc golfs' first permanent pole-hole course was established at Oak Grove Park, Pasadena — now known as Hahamongna Water Shed Park — and the PDGA (Professional Disc Golf Association) was formed shortly afterwards and now serves over 15,000 disc golfers worldwide.
The purpose was to raise awareness by bringing PDGA benefits closer to home for the large contingent of disc golfers in the region that would have to travel to other regions in the country to compete for PDGA points. We are best described as a regional chapter of the PDGA and are supported by a combination of individual memberships, sponsors, merchandise, and tournament income. In 1998 we incorporated as a nonprofit mutual benefit corporation to ensure that our mission is perpetual and will be carried out by future generations of disc golfers.
Other goals of the organization include expansion of new courses, maintaining existing courses, provide a network of communication and assistance for the public, player's, course pro's, vendor's, and manufacturer's involved in disc golf.
