Date Published
The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) is calling on its members to identify outstanding individuals who have consistently demonstrated exceptional sportsmanship and a commitment to the growth of the sport. The PDGA is seeking nominations for the annual Bob West Memorial Award, which honors those who exemplify the values of respect, fairness, and good sportsmanship in their behavior both on and off the disc golf course.
To be eligible for the award, nominees must have made significant contributions to the positive development of the sport over a period of several years. These contributions can take many forms, including volunteering at events, mentoring new players, or simply being an ambassador for the game through their actions and behavior.
Nominations can come from anyone familiar with the nominee's efforts, and should include a brief statement outlining their qualifications and achievements. The deadline for nominations is May 21st, 2017, so please don't hesitate to submit your suggestions if you know someone who deserves recognition.
The PDGA office will review all nominations received and compile a list of the top five most deserving candidates. These nominees will then be put forward for a vote by the Touring Pros, State/Province and Country Coordinators, Major and National Tour event directors, and the PDGA Board of Directors and staff.
Previous winners of the Bob West Memorial Award include Valarie Jenkins, who received the honor in 2015. Her award was presented at the 2016 PDGA Professional World Championships in Emporia, Kansas. For a full list of past winners, including Players of the Year, Rookies of the Year, and Tournament Directors of the Year, please visit the PDGA Awards Winners page.
By recognizing and celebrating outstanding individuals like Valarie Jenkins, the PDGA aims to promote a culture of sportsmanship and respect within the disc golf community. If you know someone who embodies these values, please don't hesitate to submit their nomination for the Bob West Memorial Award.
