Empowering Women in Disc Golf: Women's Disc Golf Week Returns in May 2025

The second iteration of Women's Disc Golf Week (WDGW) is just around the corner, taking place from May 17 to 25, 2025. This annual event was initially introduced in 2023 as a way to bridge the gap between Women's Global Event years and encourage organizers to maintain their WGE events during off-years.

The primary objective of WDWG is to celebrate women and girls in disc golf, promote participation, and provide a platform for them to shine. In 2023, participants had the opportunity to recognize individual women and girls within their communities, with temporary membership fees waived and a 20% discount offered on new women's memberships.

This year, WDWG promises to be bigger and better, with some exciting changes and incentives. During the event period, participants in gender-based divisions at C-tier level events will enjoy waived temporary membership fees. Additionally, organizers can recognize nominated women and girls by filling out a simple online form.

A new development this year is the introduction of a 40% discount for new first-time women and girl members, redeemable using code NEW4WDGW25. To facilitate leadership growth among women and girls, all female members will have access to free certified official exams, with no promotional code required.

Women-led clubs and organizations will also receive special benefits during May. Women-only PDGA Club registration is now free, courtesy of the code CLUBS4WDGW25. Furthermore, the first 20 eligible clubs will receive a complimentary support package consisting of 25 beginner-friendly discs, stickers, mini discs, towels, and scorecards.

To encourage club growth, women-only clubs can join the PDGA Clubs network for free during this promotional period. Existing clubs do not need to worry; they can simply reach out to request a refund. Eligible clubs will receive benefits such as:

* A $5 PDGA membership discount code for their members

* Early registration window for local events

* Complimentary certificates of insurance at "Club-Only" events

For Tournament Directors (TDs), incorporating WDWG into existing events is easy and straightforward. TDs can simply check a box in Disc Golf Scene's registration settings to opt-in to the event.

To facilitate participation, TDs can also waive temporary membership fees for women's divisions by following these simple steps:

* Access your Disc Golf Scene account

* Go to the settings tab

* Check the "Waive fee for women's divisions" box

* Save changes
