A Hands Off PGDA Major??
The PDGA major has been a topic of discussion among disc golf enthusiasts, and recent comments from TD Shawn Jack shed light on the organization's involvement in event preparation. Jack mentioned that the PDGA has limited hands-on involvement in organizing these events, citing Phil Deloney's transition from the Disc Golf Network to the PDGA as Director of Competition. This raises questions about how resources are allocated and whether the PDGA is meeting its obligations to the community. With Jack stating that he paid the Disc Golf Pro Tour to assist with setup and preparation, concerns arise about the distribution of funds intended for major events. The lack of clear planning and direction in disc golf's major tournaments is a pressing issue, as seen in recent events like Jackson.
