Promote the Code, Protect the Sport: PDGA Launches Awareness Initiative

The Disc Golfer's Code is gaining momentum, with disc golfers around the world embracing its principles and promoting them within their communities. However, it's essential to recognize that educating others about the sport shouldn't solely rely on current players. The PDGA has recognized this need and is taking steps to encourage awareness among non-disc golf enthusiasts.

Many public parks and facilities house disc golf courses, but not everyone visiting these areas is aware of the presence of flying discs or the potential risks associated with them. To address this issue, the PDGA is launching an initiative to encourage course owners and managers to post "Caution: Flying Discs" signs in strategic locations.

To support this effort, the PDGA will provide high-resolution versions of the Caution: Flying Discs graphic, available for free download in various formats (JPG, PDF, EPS). The design was graciously created by Sam Mrdeza, and the PDGA is grateful for his contribution to promoting disc golf safety.

In addition to the new signage initiative, the Disc Golfer's Code itself is now available for download in high-resolution format. This resource can be used on signs, banners, shirts, or any other medium, helping to spread awareness of the code's principles and promote a culture of respect within the sport.

To make it easier for courses to implement these new resources, the PDGA has partnered with sign manufacturing retailers to offer discounted printing rates for members. This partnership will provide a convenient solution for course owners and managers looking to upgrade their signage without breaking the bank.

The PDGA encourages all disc golfers to participate in this initiative by downloading the Caution: Flying Discs graphic and the Disc Golfer's Code, and using them to promote awareness within their communities. By working together, we can create a safer and more inclusive environment for disc golf enthusiasts of all levels.

As Dan "Stork" Roddick aptly puts it, "Our time has come to get serious about having fun." Let's seize this opportunity to showcase our sport in the best possible light and ensure its continued growth and sustainability.
