 The UPCOMING EVENTS section is getting BIG!
I am thinking about moving the UPCOMING EVENTS section to the website, with a link in the newsletter.  Let me know your feedback on this.  This section is dedicated to the weekly and monthly events at YOUR local course.  When you are traveling and want to play draw-doubles at a new course you can find what's happening in this section.
 
 Hometown Disc Golf News
Don't forget to check out the  Hometown Disc Golf News section of the website.  Read the latest 20 electronic newspaper articles on the topic of disc golf, from hometown newspapers across the country.  ELEVEN articles from July!
 
 Make other athletes aware of disc golf!

We are currently in 110th place with 27,651 points, keep up the site activity.  I would like to see us start breaking the 40,000 point mark regularly.  We have three days to get 12,929 more points.

Each week when you receive this newsletter take 10 seconds and visit PAR-TWO and then click on the "Tips and Drills" section.  Then feel free to visit the rest of the site. 

If everyone receiving this newsletter would just visit the site we would have over 35,000 points each month. Add visiting the "Tips and Drills" section and our total would skyrocket to over 182,000 points per month which would DEFINITELY get disc golf noticed by the millions of athletes at eTeamz.

eTeamz also awards three monthly prizes.

  • One for sites between 20K and 40K points.
  • One for sites between 40K and 60K points.
  • One for sites over 60K points.

Any prize won will help the growth of disc golf.

 PDGA and Disc Golf Founder Suffers Stroke at PDGA Amateur Worlds Competition
“Steady” Ed Headrick, the “Father of Disc Golf”, and owner and founder of the Disc Golf Association, Inc. (DGA) nand the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA), suffered a stroke on Monday, July 22 at the PDGA Amateur World Championships. He is recovering at the Baptist Hospital in Miami, Florida.

Ed's numerous contributions include inventing the modern-day Frisbee® while working at Wham-O, where he went from VP R&D to CEO. He later went on to create the sport of Disc Golf in the ‘70s, and invented the first disc catching device, which revolutionized the game. “Steady” Ed turned over the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA), the governing body of Disc Golf worldwide, to the players in 1983.

“Steady” Ed was in Miami to meet and address the 300+ competitors attending the Amateur World Championships. He was with the current PDGA Commissioner, Pat Govang, evaluating the courses for the competition when the stroke occurred.  Govang, who has been in constant communication with the hospital and Headrick’s family, recently spoke with “Steady” Ed, who requested that expressions of concern and support from the worldwide disc golf family be sent to the Disc Golf Association (DGA) at:

16 Maher Road
Watsonville, CA 95076 (USA)
(831)722-6037
Fax (831) 722-8176
