New Beginnings for IDGC: Clearing the Way for Championship Disc Golf Courses
Date Published
A dramatic change is taking place at the International Disc Golf Center (IDGC) in Appling, Georgia. The property has been affected by a significant infestation of southern pine beetles, leading to the clearing of over 129 acres in Wildwood Park, including approximately 30 acres within the IDGC itself. A substantial portion of both the W.R. Jackson and Jim Warner Memorial Courses have been lost as a result.
However, this unfortunate event presents an opportunity for innovation and growth. In collaboration with renowned course designers, the IDGC is planning to develop at least two championship-level disc golf courses and one shorter, beginner-friendly track on the property. The comprehensive clean-up and construction efforts required will be extensive but are crucial steps towards creating a world-class disc golf experience.
To support this ambitious project, the IDGC has launched an online auction featuring some of its most iconic equipment. This includes targets used in the 2022 and 2023 PDGA Champions Cup, a prestigious PDGA Major event that drew top athletes from around the globe. The auction aims to raise funds for the redesign and restoration of the courses.
Here are key details about the auction:
- Bidders will be responsible for covering shipping costs.
- The PDGA will directly communicate with winning bidders regarding shipping and handling arrangements.
- The auction closes at 6 p.m. ET on May 5th.
- Payment in full is due by 5 p.m. ET on May 17 (10 business days from the close of the auction).
In addition to participating in the auction, supporters can contribute to the project through donations. A donation button is available on the main auction page for those wishing to make a financial contribution.
