Name

A Players Association is being created to represent the concerns of All Maine disc golfers. ALL are invited to join as members and have a chance to have your particular Maine disc golf concerns, ideas, and hopes for the future heard and presented to the various course owners and TDs. (As example; we could voice our priorities for course maintenance i.e. teepads, chains, hole length etc.., or how we’d like to see tournaments paid out and played out.)

This is a vibrant growth period for Maine disc golf and our chance to help mold the future. Already premier courses are built and are being built. World class players are soon to emerge from our ranks while most of us just want to have fun and have our money dispersed equitably when we do enter tournaments etc. The course owners want to thrive and want to work with us. They need our input presented in a consensual context in order to grow with us.

The first order of the day is twofold; 1) to initiate and expand Players Association enrollment and 2) to create a Board of Representatives to act as liaison between the Players Association and Course Owners and TDs. *While membership is open to all, the board members should be an elected committee excluding any course owners or managers, consisting of five to seven players representing the various geographic and economic areas of the state. I will act as temporary board president until the first two objectives are met. Josh Connell has volunteered to act as administrator and maintain our page on mainediscgolf.com. There you will find the opportunity for Membership Enrollment and Board Election.

* all those interested in being considered for the board please email me at kurtmyhaver@hotmail.com or check the appropriate box on the enrollment form. I will select the initial board members and we will convene within the next month to elect officers and compose the first slate of concerns to be addressed. These will then be presented to membership for input. We can have a proper board election in the spring. Members should sit on the board for one year or until dismissed by a consensus of Association members. I’d much rather play disc than talk about it but for a very small investment of time we can serve ourselves well by bridging instead of dividing.

The sky’s the limit so let’s rip it!
