| Several
members have responded to this newsletter asking for
players in their area. This has prompted me to
create a new area on the website for people to locate
other disc golfers in their area. Add

| Your
Help is Needed to Get Disc Golf Recognized.
|
|
Let's show eTeamz that disc golf is a respectable sport!
Help get
PAR-TWO ranked in the top ten.
To achieve this every member of this newsletter would need to visit the
site daily, you could set your start page to http://www.eteamz.com/par-two/.
Just visiting the site gives us 11 points. Visit the "Tips and
Drills" section and that's 50 more points (only once a day). For
every different page you visit we earn another point, up to 30 pages per
day.
eTeamz also award three prizes each month. If we happen to be one of the
winners I plan on putting the winnings back into the growth of disc
golf, I could hand out discs at the course, sponsor an event, buy a
basket or two for a park to get a taste of disc golf or giveaway discs
to the
users that got us there.

PDGA Alert
-- June 10, 2002
Would You Give Ten Minutes To Disc Golf?
Ten minutes. Not a lot of time there . . . 600 seconds, in fact. About as long as your opponent in the last tournament took for each putt :)
Yet in ten minutes you can impact the growth of disc golf in a big way.
How?
DiscTV is on the air: the first weekly TV program about disc golf has arrived to a national audience via the Empire Sports network (Sundays, 7pm ET). However, most viewers can only see Empire Sports on a satellite system (Dish Network and Direct TV).
Wouldn't you rather see it on your local cable system?
By spending ten minutes right now, you can help the growth of disc golf and encourage access to
DiscTV on your local cable system.
What to do:
Call your local network broadcast affiliates (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX) during business hours. You can find those numbers in the phone book under the station's call letters (ex:
WPAR-TV). Tell the receptionist that there is a new show about frisbee golf called Disc TV, and you would like to know if they carry it. Be polite (tough, we know) and brief, but make your calls today, before you get busy with the other disc golf things you were thinking about.
After you call, it would also be helpful if you quickly visit
http://www.disctv.disclife.com/calltv.shtml and tell us who you called so Disc TV can follow up on your efforts.
Also, please forward this message: electronically, by posting on course message boards, and verbally. Spread the word to your clubs, networks and disc golfing buddies to do the same, and to keep spreading the word. Ask everyone to make those calls to their local TV stations. Your small contribution to building the Disc TV market can go a long way in building the game.
Keep it in the fairway . . . !
