DiscGolfer Magazine Gets New Editor with Passion and Experience

Randy Michael Signor has taken the reins as editor of DiscGolfer Magazine, bringing his wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm for disc golf to the publication. Signor, who is a long-time journalist and enthusiast, will be responsible for guiding the magazine forward after Rick Rothstein's tenure.

Signor's love affair with disc golf began in 1958 when he received his first flying disc, a Jumpin' Jupiter. He still has it, albeit a duplicate of the original given to him by his brother. Over the years, Signor has been an avid player and writer, covering various aspects of the sport.

Before joining DiscGolfer, Signor had a diverse career that included teaching high school and college, working as a learning disabilities tutor, and managing or co-owning several bookstores. However, his true passion remained writing and editing, which he pursued professionally since 1980 for numerous publications such as The Los Angeles Reader, Chicago Sun-Times, Seattle Times, and others.

Signor's connection to DiscGolfer dates back to 2001 when he worked with Rick Rothstein on a couple of issues of the magazine. He also edited Flying Disc Magazine during its short-lived but notable existence. With his extensive experience in writing and editing, Signor is confident that he will produce high-quality content for readers.

"I bring my professional expertise to DiscGolfer, but I see this as an enthusiast's publication," said Signor. "I care deeply about disc golf, and I understand the passion of the PDGA membership. My only agenda is to create the finest disc golf magazine in the world."

Signor emphasized that his primary goal is not to make significant changes but rather to continue producing a high-quality publication that readers love. He mentioned some potential topics he would like to cover, such as uniform tee pads and more local club features.

One of Signor's key priorities was retaining the current staff, which includes Kent Johnson, Joe Feidt, John Whinery, and Scott Papa. These experienced professionals bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the magazine, making it an invaluable asset to the disc golf community.

Signor is excited to attend the upcoming USDGC (United States Disc Golf Championship) event and invites readers to introduce themselves. He also expressed interest in collaborating with talented writers and photographers who can contribute to the magazine's success.

As Signor takes on his new role, he aims to build on the foundation established by Rothstein and continue to provide engaging content for disc golf enthusiasts around the world.
