Share Your Thoughts on Disc Golf's Explosive Growth

The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) is on a mission to understand what drives the rapid growth of disc golf worldwide. To achieve this goal, they have launched their first survey since 2011, aiming to gauge the sport's increasing popularity and identify its key factors. The questionnaire has already attracted over 9,000 participants in just nine days, with a total of more than 67,000 PDGA members encouraged to share their thoughts.

Dr. Nicole Peritore, Assistant Professor at Augusta University, played a crucial role in developing the survey alongside her family, who are avid disc golf enthusiasts. Her academic background and interest in understanding human behavior led her to investigate why people enjoy disc golf so much and how this enjoyment contributes to its growth. The survey was refined with the help of PDGA Memberships Manager Vic Allen and the Media team.

PDGA Marketing Manager Mary Sicard highlighted the collaborative effort that went into releasing the survey, from the initial development stage to the publicity campaign. She praised the response rate, saying, "I'm thrilled with the high response rate to the survey... many of our members shared the survey link on social media." PDGA Executive Director Joe Chargualaf expressed his hope that the questionnaire will be shared widely among both PDGA members and non-members, resulting in a more comprehensive understanding of disc golf's growth.

The survey is open to all players, not just PDGA members. It aims to help the organization improve its programs, services, and activities by identifying what works well and what areas require improvement. Chargualaf emphasized that the goal is "to better understand what's contributing to the growth of disc golf... so we can make data-driven decisions." The survey will remain open until August 27, with results set to be released in September.

As a disc golfer yourself, now is your chance to share your thoughts and help shape the future of the sport. Don't miss this opportunity to contribute to its growth and development. Take the time to complete the PDGA's 2018 Interest Survey today!
