In place of the PDGA or in addition to the PDGA?
I've had talks with pros every year they come through the DFW area. I ask questions like "how do you feel about the growth of the sport", etc, etc. It was always pretty much the same, payouts need to grow, get more fans, etc, etc. In the past 7 years playing I've only skipped 1 year of being a PDGA member due to health concerns, I fully respect what the PDGA has done and is continuing to do for the AM side of the sport. But the pro side is severely under marketed imop. Seems like most ams don't really want their membership dues funding any part of the pro side of the sport. That's the typical mentality I've experienced on this forum at least. Now days I tend to agree with that. Let the PDGA continue to focus on the am side and let's get another organization to handle the pro side of the sport. Some (local) pros I've talked to think the DPGT should become that organization. I can't help think that's part of their long term plan anyway.
Examples where the PDGA has fallen short in "overall representation to the public"?
Just for clarity I said "The pros need much better overall representation to the public than what the PDGA provides.
The PDGA was founded over...40...years..... ago. If you look at the PDGA web site it looks like a template used for a standard corporate business web presence. When you have time browse pdga.com at https://web.archive.org/. The site hasn't changed that much in a long time. The fact that the PDGA has to answer to both am/pro memberships screams the need for it to divide. Trying to appease both sides will conflict more and more as the pro side grows.
