To foster a sense of community and involvement among spectators, the PDGA organizes pre-tournament clinics where top professionals share their expertise through Q&A sessions, coaching, and advice. The Disc Golf Association (DGA) has once again pledged its support for the National Tour Clinic Series by donating baskets for spectator giveaways. One lucky winner will receive a brand-new DGA Mach II practice target at each clinic.
