Disc Golf Duo's Winning Design Surprise

This year's PDGA Ace Club and Birdie Club logo contest has come to a close, and the winners have been announced. The sweepstakes was dominated by Jason Scott from Tennessee, who designed both the winning Ace Club logo and Birdie Club logo. As the winner of the contest, Jason will receive an Ace Club Membership, complete with all its perks, as well as the benefits that come with being a Birdie Club member.

However, there's more to Jason's story than just his design skills. The father of 12-year-old Aidan Scott, who has been recently introduced to disc golf, reached out to the PDGA after winning the contest. As it turned out, Jason didn't actually have a membership number in the database, which prompted him to contact the organization.

Jason explained that he and his son had stumbled upon disc golf just three months ago as a way for Aidan to participate in sports despite having a heart defect. The condition, known as aortopathy, affects the aortic valve and can lead to blood flow issues and strain on the heart. Additionally, Aidan has an aortic root dilation and a ventricular septal defect.

Despite being new to disc golf, Jason's designs impressed the judges enough to take home the top prize. In a heartwarming turn of events, the PDGA decided to grant both Jason and Aidan membership in the organization. With Jason now holding number #99245 (Ace Club) and Aidan sporting number #99246 (Birdie Club), they'll be able to enjoy all the benefits that come with being part of the disc golf community.

The PDGA is thrilled to welcome this dynamic duo into their ranks, and we can't help but feel a sense of joy knowing that disc golf has become an important outlet for Jason and Aidan. We wish them all the best in their future endeavors on and off the course.
